Who Says Islam Isn't Merciful?

Why, this young woman, who has been sentenced to a caning for drinking beer, has been given a stay until after Ramadan. Interestingly, she's eager to pay her debt to society: "In an interview with the AP last week, Kartika said she wanted to be caned because 'I want to respect the law.'"

    Hey, the S&M demographic is always with us, and wanting to save money on a nice toe-curling whipping is natural.

    Isn't it?

    Coulda been worse. She might have been drinking that beer while being raped. That might have tripled the lashes.

    Glass half full.

    I'm convinced fundamentalist Islam is a psychiatric condition.
