Wearing Pants Is Against The Law?

It never ceases to amaze me how crazy our world is.  In the PLAIN DEALER this morning, there was an article about a Sudan woman journalist, Lubna Hussein, who was thrown in jail for wearing a green pair of loose fitting pants in public.  I'm so glad I don't live there!  The reason is totally ridiculous--apparently Sudan is governed by Islamic law which calls for women to dress modestly.  Since when are pants immodest?  Duh! 

At least they didn't give her the 40 lashes that they could have according to their law.  They fined her $200 and when she refused to pay, threw her in jail.  How archaic is this?  I think this lady would really be happier in America or another country that is not so barbaric.  This just blows me away! 

As reported in the PLAIN DEALER, the journalist said she would not pay one penny and that she would spend a month in jail because it's a chance to explore the conditions in jail.  Good for you, Lubna!  You go, girl!
