I call it a tidbit and nothing because this is the kind of "news item" that is commonly used as a filler.
Such weird items have been used for years by all news media. No followup. Unknown fact-checking.
While I've heard that the male proclaiming 'I divorce you' 3 times constitutes divorce in Muslim life, I don't know if that's true or if it might be true for some sects or...

I surely don't see tarring over a billion people as lunatic because of one silly news filler as sensible.


>>>All joking aside, where do these people get off telling someone that they
>>>are no longer married and must separate.
>>>
>>>It really is alarming. Each time something like this comes out, or like the
>>>guy who no longer wanted to be a muslim, we get a glimpse into Islam.
>>>
>>>If this is what Islam is like, they can have it.
>>
>>The exact same can be said for the west, and the U.S. especially. You've got lunatic Christian LEADERS flapping their gums about issues far more serious than this piece of nothing. Muslims and Sikhs and Buddhists etc must find themselves wondering how "good" Christianity is.
>>
>>What about divorced Catholics not being permitted to re-marry in a Catholic church?
>
>Then they don't have to remain Catholic. At least the Church won't execute them for it!
>
>>What about gays not being allowed to marry?
>
>That's all highly debatable anyway (goes to the REASON for mariage as an institution for raising kids and all that). You can bet your pension that THAT wouldn't be allowed in Islam either anyway.
>
>>Where do people get off controlling people like that???
>>I'd put "The Rapture" at about the same level of "75 virgins" myself. Do you go on about The Rapture?
>>
>>Letting a tidbit from some small village in India influence such a conclusion as you've made is over the top to me.
>
>Come on, Jim. In none of your examples is someone being forced to do something against his will. What if he'd said in his sleep "I want to be a suicide bomber"? Would they have frog-marched him off to martyr school?
>
>This is an example of lunacy, that someone should be held accountable for "sleep-thought-crime". It smacks of 1984 too.
