Somali Justice Vs. Western Justice

[AbdiWahab252]

Ever notice when there is a crime between two Somalis, their qabiils get involved and try to keep it out of the legal courts.

It is fine if the case is simple like a harmless fist fight or a case of fraud etc.

But when it involves sexual crimes like rape or molestation, there should be no compromise. Throw the book at them.

I heard of a case where this Somali guy (18+) molested a boy (under 16) and his qabiil tried to pressure the boy's family to drop it. Sadly, they both were from the same tribe.

Somali justice is nothing more then injustice

[AbdiWahab252]

I agree Oxy-

[Madd_Scientist_]

Cases should be handled under Sharia Law, that way there won't be any "misunderstanding".

[AbdiWahab252]

Madd-,

Sharica law. Somali justice ignores Sharica law.

[Madd_Scientist_]

When you say "Somali Justice" what exactly do you mean? Them taking matter in their own hands, and not basing it on The Islamic Laws?

Somali people are not ignorant, but they decide to see and hear only what they want.

[AbdiWahab252]

When I refer to Somali justice I am talking about how Somalis try to resolve a crime inside the community and often ends up in cash being offered if one party doesn't press charges.

I think Somali justice is better than western justice. And if you can deal with a fist fight why not rape and sexual crimes?

If Qabil involvement is good enough to deal with fist fight then it can deal with anything.

Aint that how we always did things?

Ps...the West is very kind to sexual offenders.

[Boqor__Daarod]

i agree with dealing with minor stuff like fist fight in the somali way.

but rape should be dealt with in court

btw there is no such thing as somali justice. what they call justice is if a man from another tribe kills a member of your tribe and he goes away then they kill a man from his tribe for revenge. they kill a innocent man

[Voltage]

As usual you stretch your stories too far. Aint no somali protecting no pervert who molested another boy

a girl maybe

but no boy homie, his family will probably try to kill him because of the shame

[AbdiWahab252]

Voltage,

Check your PM.

Boqor,

Rape and sexual crimes should be referred to the Courts.

[SahanGalbeed]

WE have them both in Somaliland . Only if the families { tribe} do not come to an agreement does the state jump in
Somaliland :somaliland:

[AbdiWahab252]

Sahan.

But in the West, Western law takes precedence first.,

Abdiwahab I will verify and then I will come back. I have sources in that city. We will see if you were fibbing this time as usual.
