The difference between Pam Geller and me is that --- I didn't post a link that disproves my own point.
Well lets see what was said:
1st line of the article:
It is terrifying for gay people to live in a country that is under the sharia or even respectful of sharia law. - See more at:
A predominant Muslim community in Ghana’s capital, Accra – has flogged a man suspected to be gay.
The suspect received about 100 lashes from the vigilante group popularly known as Safety Empire. According to the group, its aim is to wage a crusade against homosexuality.
The man was whipped mercilessly when he allegedly tried to lure another resident into the controversial act.
He was found guilty based on Sharia laws, the group said in a Facebook post.
She does explain that it was a group in the community that did it, not the government. The group did reference Sharia law as their basis for said whipping.
Well then let's look at the headline -- the title, where everything starts:
"Under Islamic law gay man given 100 lashes with sharp metal wires in Ghana"Well --- no. Ghana doesn't even have "Islamic law".
But let's not stop there, let's see the very first line:
"It is terrifying for gay people to live in a country that is under the sharia or even respectful of sharia law"It might be. But what's that have to do with Ghana?
Weasel words. Geller can't write without them.
The group based it's actions on Sharia, which is Islamic Law. She didn't say Ghana's law, did she?
A vigilante group doesn't get to dictate what the country's laws are. Ghana Does. Not. Have. Sharia. Law.
You could look it up.
Did the group that performed the action base their actions on Sharia law?
more to the point----are the perpetrators of the razor wire wielders going to be criminally charged
