No, no. You're fine. It's just that Fernando gets his news from a parallel dream universe of the extreme right. The strike actually targeted medium range missiles that were being delivered from Iran on their way to Hezbollah.

Our constitution was written by the French when they colonized us after the first world war based on their own constitution at the time and it has all sorts of weird laws that no one has bothered removing since. This one is originally based on the bible so the Church here has been fighting for some time against having it removed even though the cases where it has been actually used are very rare. Ah yes just reading up on it now. Islamic 'scholars' have tried to keep the ridiculous laws including rape being legal in marriage and 'honor' killings As far as domestic violence, the law offers no protection to women. "If a woman in Lebanon is beaten or humiliated at home, there is nothing she can legally do about it," "The husband has to break her neck, arm or leg, for her to be able to claim injury or damage, as you would for any car accident," Many women who do turn to the police become the object of ridicule by officers who pat them on the cheek and suggest they deal with their problems "at home".

Fernando 6,585 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Good video about the recent developments in the middle east. Just like me he believes in prophecy, however he brings a lot of news and video then any other teacher I heard. He was showing a video about ISIS in which they used a drone to record their suicide bombings..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rana Moussaoui -Sociologist That's all unfortunately true but not necessarily for everyone. In Lebanon, laws are written (often intentionally) open to interpretations. So, how the law sees you depends on how much money and power you got. If you're rich/upper middle class or hold a high ranking position in on of the ruling parties you get protection from the state for all your rights. Or as the privileged pricks put it, you're basically living in the "Switzerland of the east". But if you're poor, or even worse a Syrian refugee or an African migrant worker, your rights can be discarded at every turn. This is true for domestic violence, homosexuality or even basic rights such as shelter and education. Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid that this type of random killing style could become a norm and it's evident now. Why will they do this to people who have invited them into their countries freely, even without going through the formal process?? Why does ISIS hateful Islamic message resonate among a lot of Muslims?? Why do they think violence is the answer to their problems??? (Russian ambassador to Turkey has also been assassinated in Turkey ) Just like that some Christians and atheists Germans peacefully enjoying their traditional Christmas period have been murdered. I just hope that the families hold on strong to their traditional Christmas beliefs and can move on from this tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
