Something about religious freedoms? |

A Saudi woman had met with a man outside of a public mall to retrieve photos of her that were allegedly being used for blackmail. Upon this meeting, both the man and woman were abducted at knife-point and taken to another location where they were, subsequently, raped. The woman was raped by seven men, a total of (from my understanding) 14 times. After this incident, the woman was tried for violating Saudi laws that prohibit a woman from taking any meeting with any man outside the range of her family members or husband. She has received a sentence of 200 lashes with bamboo rods, as well as jail-time, for this infraction. |

Yeah, I remember seeing that on the (canadian news), Saudi Arabia is still so ridiculously backwards... Here's a quote from a post on another forum about the same subject: |
|
Well, they're some of our president's friends, so we really shouldn't object. They're really rich, you know, and they have a lot of oil. |
|
At least they didn't stone her to death... |
|
This is an easy one. |
|
Wow... that's so wrong. To punish the victim rather than the perpetrators. Or were the perpetrators punished aswell? I would not be surprised if they got away with it... |
|
Everyone involved got punished. |

Very unfair still, but good that the perpetrators got punished at least. |

Some BBC coverage of the event. |

No, it's not. This is sharia law, which means being beheaded for commiting a crime against religion. Like adultery. Or homosexuality. I wonder how they prove that homosexuality was committed with intent and, once that's done, prove that the guilty party chose to behave illegally when he (or she) had the freedom to be heterosexual. Oh yes. I remember. They mostly prosecute people who choose to wantonly act homosexual instead of repressing their sexuality for the rest of their miserable lives stuck in that country. Of course, if they're black, they also get the honour of being treated like shit the dog wouldn't look at. |

Nothing in life can be said to be unfair - everything is the result of freedom and where would freedom be without the feedom to take the consequences?
This disgusted me personally .... |

Because Bush is a reptillian in human form. |

Things are not as they seem
O yeah! My sister told me about this. I'm tired of those damn, corrupt Saudis, misrepresenting Muslims. They don't know crap and their extremism is making Muslims like myself look bad. |

It's almost funny just how backwards and primative some of these countries are. Primative and barbaric. Thousands of years behind the west in human rights. |
|
Wow. People complain about our law system sometimes, but that's nothing compared to this. |
