ALERTER'S COMMENTS

More Islamophobia on DU, as if Christians never beat their wives

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 19, 2016, 12:36 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: False equivalence in the alert. So sorry you don't want to see what's actually happening in the world. Might want to just go ahead and unhook from the internet so you don't accidentally see any other facts/reality.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alert abuse.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh come on... what the heck is with all the petty alerts lately? Perhaps the alerter should watch the entire video before doing this.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This alert a joke right? Instructional video on how to beat your wife and you can't question our alliance with such barbarians? How can anyone defend this?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the reporter would like to highlight Christian actions of a similar nature they are free to do so.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the alerter has a "Christian" situation parallel to the Saudi situation (appalling video carried on the public airwaves with government endorsement), please bring it to the attention of the DU assembly, and we'll render a judgment. Otherwise, it sounds like the pulings of a WATB.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
