Waitress 'attacked by Muslim men for serving alcohol during Ramadan'

Have they never been out in public before? Such a strange thing for someone who lives in a western country to find offensive.

These guys are dicks, plain and simple.

This is typical amongst conservative Muslims, they think that they are right and if you don't follow how they follow you're wrong.. They then proceed to bully less conservative Muslims under the presumption that they're doing gods work

Charge them with assault and throw them in jail.

Them being Muslim doesn't matter, they slapped a woman and you can't hide behind doctrine for that.

Disgusting assholes. People who hate others of their own faith because of differences in practices are gonna have to learn to live in a modern world where there is a wide spectrum of beliefs and practices depending on the individual. If not, they can rot in prison like these two should.
 
Doing your job during Ramadan is not okay, but harassing and assaulting another person is, according to these two. Okay, then.
 
Shariah police is a problem in our communities, which is usually people like these who annoy other Muslims to no end. These dudes are seriously the worst hypocrites. Like in this particular case they call someone a whore. This is literally one of the biggest accusations someone can label against someone else in Islam and carries hefty punishment. Forget even assaulting someone which is an even serious offense.
 
You can't be good without religion tho.

Also, loads of atheists have slapped women for serving alcohol during Ramadan, and lots of other holidays too. That's a 100% true fact.


Because some people need to be told not to act like tools.

you don't need religion to know how to be a basic civil and social person but what are you trying to say here?

Horrible, hope they find these idiots and throw them in prision.

More violence created by religion.

What did the victim do? She was practicing peacefully

To be fair the Iranian Muslim powers that be believe that smacking your wife is a religious tenet.

Edit

Sorry nevermind it was Pakistan: http://tribune.com.pk/story/1111481/pakistanis-hit-back-clerics-say-men-can-lightly-beat-wives/

Muslim powers? The government or a bunch fanataics? Anyway, read your own article

The draft was also slammed by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), which condemned its recommendations as “ridiculous” and called for the council of “zealots” to be disbanded.

“It is difficult to comprehend why anyone in his right mind would think that any further encouragement or justification is needed to invite violence upon women in Pakistan,” the HRCP stated.

Online in Pakistan, the bill was met with derision.

“This body should be dissolved, preferably in acid,” wrote one Twitter user, as others expressed bafflement and anger.

Women in Pakistan have fought for their rights for decades, in a country where so-called honour killings and acid attacks remain commonplace.

But the Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Bill redefines “violence” to include “any offence committed against a woman” including things like domestic or emotional abuse, stalking or cybercrimes.
The bill, which was passed in February, also provides for a universal toll free help line for the women, and establishes district protection centres and residential shelters under a phased programme.

Should have thrown those drinks in their faces. :]

That would have been perfect.
 
Realistically why would God give a fuck if you drank or served alcohol?

Realistically, why would he give a fuck about anything any of us? We're totally inconsequential ants on a meaningless planet in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, galaxies are colliding, stars are exploding and black holes are forming and shit - there's much more important shit to worry about.

All of it breaks down when you start to think about it critically. But you can see how it arose - not drinking alcohol is definitely a positive thing to help move your society forward, especially if alcoholism is rampant.
