Lubna Hussein sticks to her guns - What a woman!!

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.

....Kamal Omar, one of Ms Hussein's lawyers, said his client had been taken to the women's prison in Omdurman
....Earlier, at least 40 protesters were held by police outside the courthouse in the Sudanese capital. Some of them were women reportedly wearing trousers in support for Ms Hussein. Our correspondent saw one woman being hit eight or nine times by police with truncheons
....On Friday, the London-based human rights group Amnesty International called on Khartoum to withdraw the charges against Ms Hussein and repeal the law used to justify flogging as a penalty for "indecent" dress.
