Today, Lubna Hussein defied the cowards and bullies in Sudan. These bullies who had previously threatened her with 40 lashes cowered pitifully, as is expected from all bullies and cowards when you confront them with courage. Instead, in a false show of bravado they declared that she would not be given the physical punishment but ruled that she would have to pay a fine equivalent to $200 or face a jail term. According to BBC news Lubna Hussein preferred the jail term. Lubna Hussein is a true feminist. Not the run of the mill "boobs hanging to their waist" bimbos that most men think feminism is all about. And, note the difference between this Muslim woman and the empty-headed nitwit from Malaysia who was caught drinking beer.
