The students who attend Bob Jones University, one of the most conservative Christian colleges in the country, say that theyre often traumatized after seeking counseling from school administrators on the issue of sexual assault. According to an Al Jazeera investigation, Bob Jones staff members have responded to allegations of rape by telling rape victims they should repent for their sins.
Katie Landry, who was raped by a coworker several times during the summer before she started attending Bob Jones, didnt tell anyone about her assault for several years. She was deeply ashamed and failed most of her classes her first year of school. When she eventually sought counseling, the dean of students told her that we have to find the sin in your life that caused your rape.
He confirmed my worst nightmare it was something I had done, it was something about me, it was my fault, Landry said in an interview with Al Jazeeras program America Tonight. The dean also asked her if she had done anything impure or smoked pot.
I think they should have not heaped more shame on me. Because I was already filled to the brim with shame. I didnt need any more, Landry added.
An Al Jazeera investigation. That in itself is a pretty amazing circumstance.
Anyway, I doubt very many rw'ers would agree with something like this.
So Ludely, is Al Jazeera one of your regular sources ?

If you want accuracy and a lack of partisan bias, Al Jazeera is one of the best.
If you believe this report is untrue, by all means post proof. Otherwise, your complaint is just the usual crap about not liking the source and so choosing not to believe it.
IOW, your opinion is worthless.
The victims may have been threatened by the rapists that if they said anything, something would happen to them or someone that they cared about or maybe they didn't think that anyone would believe them if they came forward anyways.Rape several times is a relationship unless she was kept tied up in a locked room.

And then the evil manpig continued to deny the existence of a Wrongpublican war on women, and no one took any conservatards seriously ever again.
The end.
I beg to differ. It clearly leans anti-American and anti-Semitic.If you want accuracy and a lack of partisan bias, Al Jazeera is one of the best.
Baum, who watched Al Jazeera fairly regularly when he spent time in Europe in the past few years, says "there's no question the mix of editorial views on it are more critical of U.S. policy and Israel, and more sympathetic to Arab perspectives
And yes, there is anti-Semitism, Nisbet adds

What is it with this fundie RW return to the Dark Ages and blaming the victim?
This is why victims don't report their attack.

There is no way to tell what really happened. Many of these stories are either completely fabricated or altered beyond all recognition.

Why is it, when the thread is about, oh say, apples .... Some sloppy headed dunderhead tries to make it about shoelaces.
If you want to discuss Muslim law, start a thread.

Hey, this "blame the rape victim" defense has worked for the Kennedy clan for decades, and it worked for Bill Clinton too.
