Silva Kashif ~ Christian minor 16 given 50 lashes for skirt length before notifying parents of arrest~ Khartoun, Sudan 

girl was lashed 50 times after a judge ruled her knee-length skirt was indecent... mother of teenager Silva Kashif told Reuters on Friday she was planning to sue the police who made the arrest and the judge who imposed the sentence, as her daughter was underage and a Christian... The case will add fuel to a debate already raging over Sudan's decency laws after this year's high-profile conviction...

I have read the Koran, I would recommend that everyone read it. This is not the Koran.  This is extreme, this is take over the world and enforce your beliefs. Religious Police is the most frightening Gestapo concept and it scares me that a young girl would be lashed 50 times for a skirt that bared her calves, by those given a position of power to violate her legal and civil rights. 

Fifty lashes is out and out child abuse... severe abuse!  If any religious group here, were to send out members to bring teenagers in off the street against their will to a location to be judged and beaten for breaking their laws, they would be in prision for kidnapping and assault and a slew of charges that would definitely put them in prison.  Violent criminal behavior should not be a response to modest knee length apparel.
