Quote :

" (CNN) -- A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a 75-year-old Syrian woman to 40 lashes, four months imprisonment and deportation from the kingdom for having two unrelated men in her house, according to local media reports. ... the religious police entered her house in the city of Al-Chamli and found her with two unrelated men, "Fahd" and "Hadian." Fahd [age 24] told the policeman he had the right to be there, because Sawadi had breast-fed him as a baby and was therefore considered to be a son to her in Islam, according to Al-Watan. Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam called Wahhabism and punishes unrelated men and women who are caught mingling. The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, feared by many Saudis, is made up of several thousand religious policemen charged with duties such as enforcing dress codes, prayer times and segregation of the sexes. Under Saudi law, women face many restrictions, including a strict dress code and a ban on driving. Women also need to have a man's permission to travel. ... Efforts to reach Saudi officials at the Justice Ministry, religious police and other agencies were unsuccessful. A spokesman for the Saudi embassy in Washington said he had no details on the case. The case sparked anger in Saudi Arabia. "It's made everybody angry because this is like a grandmother," Saudi women's rights activist Wajeha Al-Huwaider told CNN. "Forty lashes -- how can she handle that pain? You cannot justify it.""

and in 2007, these same fuckwits sentenced a 19-year-old girl to 200 lashes and 6 months in prison because she was a victim of gang rape.

where the hell are the muslims at on this board? are there any? someone come out and explain this, please?

cause i don't get it.

Please, Obama, get us on some renewable energy. Then take the last of our fossil fuels and use it to get the B-2's from here to Riyadh.

We can do more bombing runs for less fuel if we launch from Diego Garcia, FYI. See, I'm thinking green.

1) I don't listen to Britney Spears.

2) Saudi Arabia is not my country.

3) She broke the law when EVERYBODY in the country knows that law... she has to pay the price. I mean, she can't even profess ignorance of the law here, because as I said, this is one law everybody knows. And what are you advocating here? Anarchy? No matter which country you are in, if you break the law, you face the music; why should it be different here? Because she is old? Actually, that's a lenient sentence... young people who are caught mingling usually get >> 100 lashes. Because it is an 'unjust' law? Who are you to decide? And even if it is 'unjust', that's irrelevant here. The law exists, and is on the books and is always enforced. Plain and simple as that. When one day it stops being enforced, then you can cry your eyes out if someone is still punished for breaking it. In closing, she is not 'innocent'. She knowingly broke a serious law... she should pay the price.

based on the universal moral code this law is unjust and a extreme reaction.

i hope your daughter never gets gang raped, b/c you know, it's the law, they will have to lash her. even if she is 3. because it's the law.

3/10/2009 9:27:00 AM

1) "universal moral code"? What's that? Where is it... I would like to see it. There is no such thing as "universal". Either laws are man-made, or they are apparently God-given. If anything, it is the God-given laws that should qualify as "universal". How can a group of humans write laws that should be then applied "universally"?

2) That girl who was sentenced to lashing (she was eventually pardoned and not punished) was NOT SENTENCED FOR BEING RAPED, you morons. Do you guys even know the full story? She was a married woman and had a 'boyfriend'. She met him somewhere and they were both inside the car on the backseat when a group of 4 or 5 animals attacked them and raped them both. So, she was sentenced to be punished for mingling with an unrelated male, exactly the same as this case here. And in her case, it was even more compromising, because she was married.

3/10/2009 9:36:33 AM

3/10/2009 9:42:02 AM

Hey look, another story about how the middle east is still in the middle ages. Stories like this remind me how lucky I am to be an American citizen that has the right to stand up for the values that protect the human condition from the onslaught of religious insanity.

3/10/2009 9:49:07 AM

All I got to say if you know what is law and you break it, prepare for an ass whooping. Yeah, its not cool at all looking at it through my American eyes, but hey, I am not subject to it, so I really don't care.

every country is different i guess. if our views on life and theirs were the same, it would be called america not saudi arabia. most countries that hate us agree that we are not very accepting of foreign culture/ways.

3/10/2009 10:47:01 AM

hahaha they raped the d00d too?

3/10/2009 11:03:44 AM

This is why they can't have nice things.

Also, this woman was breast feeding a baby when she was 51 (she breast fed the 24 year old guy). That's kinda weird.

There's nothing to imply she was claiming she didn't know what the law is. If it's true that she was a wet nurse for this guy, and if it's true that makes him her son by Islamic law, then they're prosecuting an innocent old woman for the travesty of having her son by nursing deliver bread to her. Sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

Except we are extremely accepting of foreign cultures, relative to other countries.

There are even plenty of muslims living in the US, mixing with non muslims.

Our president even has a common name in muslim culture, and has immediate family that is muslim.

So they can't say that we are not tolerant of other cultures. Plenty individuals aren't, but on the level of our government at least, the intolerance is for certain behaviors.

Guys, I expect better from some of you.

About the girl who was sentenced for being gang-raped... well yeah, she WAS NOT sentenced for being raped. Thank God, that is one thing does not happen in Saudi Arabia. It happens in some Muslim countries (if there is no evidence of rape), but not in Saudi.

These are the facts:

Quote :

"2) That girl who was sentenced to lashing (she was eventually pardoned and not punished) was NOT SENTENCED FOR BEING RAPED, you morons. Do you guys even know the full story? She was a married woman and had a 'boyfriend'. She met him somewhere and they were both inside the car on the backseat when a group of 4 or 5 animals attacked them and raped them both. So, she was sentenced to be punished for mingling with an unrelated male, exactly the same as this case here. And in her case, it was even more compromising, because she was married."

And please don't accuse me of defending her being sentenced. You will be a horrible person if you do.

Also, another grand travesty of justice was the fact that the seven rapists received sentences ranging from 10 months to 5 years, when IN FACT, THE PUNISHMENT IN ISLAM FOR RAPE IS DEATH. And IN FACT, rapists DO GET THEIR HEADS CUT OFF in Saudi, so I have no idea why they received slaps on the wrist for their abominable crimes. They should all have been decapitated.
