Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed

By Frances Harrison
BBC News


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.

The victim was initially punished for violating laws on segregation of the sexes - she was in an unrelated man's car at the time of the attack.

When she appealed, the judges said she had been attempting to use the media to influence them.

The attackers' sentences - originally of up to five years - were doubled.

Extra penalties

According to the Arab News newspaper, the 19-year-old woman, who is from Saudi Arabia's Shia minority, was gang-raped 14 times in an attack in the eastern province a year-and-a-half ago.

Seven men from the majority Sunni community were found guilty of the rape and sentenced to prison terms ranging from just under a year to five years.

But the victim was also punished for violating Saudi Arabia's laws on segregation that forbid unrelated men and women from associating with each other. She was initially sentenced to 90 lashes for being in the car of a strange man

I think we should all get together and buy AssHat a one-way, first class ticket to Saudi Arabia. He'll fit right in. I'm sure they'll have him converted within a month or two and then his life will be fulfilled.

Dixie too. He was on record, as personally believing that a woman should be stoned to death, for getting an abortion.
 
I never advocated any pre-emptive strike.

But technically we had more reason to attack Saudia Arabia over 911 than we did to attack Iraq.
 
he feels a kinship with you due to the white-trash truck/piece of junk your peddling lots of those in Kentucky

Egads! I feel like I've wandered onto the set of the "Spin Dry Zone" or something. :rolleyes:

Which of Cypress's comments did you find "silly", specifically?

No, I don't advocate invading Saudi Arabia. However bad they have it, killing them is worse. On the other hand, any assertion that Iraq at the time of our invasion was somehow worse than Saudi Arabia is pretty funny, under the circumstances.

No, I don't think that this sort of behavior is general within Islam. Muslims today are struggling with their extremists, just as Christians are with theirs. Frankly, I'd rather let the Muslims work it out for themselves.
 
Here you go orno....

I agree. I can't see what BB is babbling about, but I said not one word about Saudi Arabia.

I don't think we should be supporting Despots. I think it makes some arabs and muslims hate us, who wouldn't otherwise hate us.
 
I read up on this. She wasn't convicted of being a victim, just for getting in the car. They doubled her sentence because they contacted the media in an attempt to get world attention on the case.

Of course this doesn't make it right.

Ok, so what is your recommendation? Do we not speak with them at all? Do we avoid trade and business with the countrying? Then if we do speak with them do we tell them their actions are unacceptable or do we just let it happen in the name of 'tolerance'?
 
OMG..............

You do know that Sharia Law is what they want, right? You know, the guys from S.A. that were on the plane... This is based on that law.
