Well Italy convicted Amanda Knox because she supossedly performed Satanic sex rituals, so let's not act like "civilized western countries" don't also have wacky courts.

I didn't say anything about them not being "civilised" or make any comparison with the West, it's just a fact that Saudi Arabia isn't exactly a great proponent of women's rights

What, so any nation that doesn't push kids back into a burning school because they're not wearing the correct outfit is disneyland?

Was she imprisoned for the Satan sex bit, or the fact that they thought she was a murderer?

she was convicted because she was painted as a "witch"(literally not metaphorically, they actually accussed her of being a WITCH) and she was American.

There's more xenophobia in Europe now than there was anti-semitism in Europe during ww2.
Europe always loves a scapegoat. They can't get away with Jews anymore, so they use Americans as scapegoats.

What a horribly inaccurate thing to say. She was prosecuted for a murder, resulting from Satanic sex games/rituals. Now that only decrees that Knox, herself, was guilty of being interested in the Satanic rituals, not that she was being treated as a modern day with. Being a witch is not a criminal offence (to my knowledge), but murdering another person is.

Claiming that Europe thinks of Americans today, the way that the Nazi's thought of Jews during the holocaust, is offensive to just about everyone apart from Americans, and I would hope Americans on here would think that would be a wholly inappropriate comparison too.

I haven't really been following the case much but I thought it was because of her and her b/fs fingerprints found on her under wear and also on a brush in her b/fs flat? Also, wasn't their alibis abit dodgy?

There were ZERO finger prints found from Amanda. There were a million finger prints found from the other person accused though, the african Rudee Guede, who also had been accused of knife crimes before,. BUt instead of focusing on him, they chose to focus on Amanda, who had no finger prints at all, and there was no forensic evidence at all, but they convicted her because they accused her of being a satanic WITCH.

It was literally a witch hunt, on Americans. "those cocky americans, they must be evil, so Amanda must be evil" it was literally no different than the Salem Witch Trials. It showed the true face of Europe.

Ohh, she's American and pretty, so she MUST be EVIL.

I doubt that was the case Alex.

ok, then explain why she was convicted then???

i'm open to hearing your point of view. (bear in mind that she was later aquitted because there was no forensic evidence against her.... but i can't wait to hear your theory as to why she was convicted in the first place)

She has been proven innocent now, but i really wanna hear your theory as to why she was convicted first??

Persecution complex. May I ask which part of America you are from?

I've lived all over. New York, Washington DC, Virginia, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, Montana... why? What possible relevance does where i live in America have to my statements??
Oh maybe you think i'm some ignorant conservative republican? because you think all American's that disagree with you must be rednecks right??

Sorry, i'm not a redneck. Thank you for proving my point though.

Are you seriously arguing that the widespread persecution of Jews, the genocide of 6 million of them, was less of an injustice than Amanda Knox's conviction?

I don't care to get into another debate with you so don't take this as me starting one. But I just wanted to remind you of the thread the other day where we talking about you always bringing America vs The World into thread discussions, and you said it was me taking things personal and out of context. I find this post above quite funny in regards to that, bringing a discussion about Saudi Arabia around to America vs Europe.

Strange thing that you feel the need to make things about America all the time on a majority British forum.

Edit - Just noticed you're making highly inappropriate and exaggerated accusations. Last week it was alleged racism, and this week it's Europeans attitude towards Americans is equal or worse to that of Nazi's in WW2. You are seriously messed up my friend, seriously. You're either highly sensitive or very very young.
FYI - Nazi Germany does not = "Europe". Europe is a very large continent of nationalities.

Not to mention the alleged murder of a fellow student.
