Default Saudi woman receives 200 lashes - 11-16-2007, 01:14 PM
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/7096814.stm

An appeal court in Saudi Arabia has doubled the number of lashes and added a jail sentence as punishment for a woman who was gang-raped.

& these guys are our allies? I can't believe we let those fkers into Buckingham Palace a few weeks ago on a state visit! Oh yer, I forgot, BAe have a jet fighter contract with em.

I guess BSDM must be rather popular over there...

What the fuck. I find it very hard to accept another culture that thinks its okay to treat a victim of a horrible crime as a fucking criminal.

Thats fucking disgusting, these people are sub-human.

It's because under Islamic law a rape victim must provide four witnesses to verify her story that the sex was not consensual.

Thing is women aren't allowed to drive cars there either....

We had a funny discussion in my Arabic class the other day when a student asked my teacher what the word for "girlfriend" was in Arabic. Our teacher had trouble explaining that the concept of dating doesn't exist in Arabic countries because unwed men and women can be beaten if they are found in each others company.


Then there's also the jizya, a tax that non-Muslims have to pay...and the belief that women and non-Muslims only count as half a person.

Too bad this is their religion and culture, sometimes being ethnocentric and intolerant of some religions sounds like a pretty good idea.

Yeah but there is a thin line between being intolerant of a few aspects of a particular religion and then just being a racist prick who thinks "WE SHOULD JUST NUKE EM ALL"

yeah, but there's also an even thinner line between denouncing a group's religious beliefs (no matter how backwards they are) and threatening their religious rights...

Hey, if we had those laws here in the States, shit would be in order. Crime is running rampant here because there's no fear.
