    That's exactly what they are, the bastards. Someone tell me again why we are allies with this country, and have relations with them? Oh, right... oil. Well, **** the oil. How about standing up for what this country is supposed to stand for, instead of bending over and making nice to these tyrants.

    How many hundreds of years behind the rest of civilization are some of the customs of Islam?

    I do want to point out that the Saudis practice Wahabism(?), which is a much more strict and harsh interpretation of Islam than others, so this shouldn't be used as a condemnation of Islam in general. The actions by the authorities in this case are just deplorable though, and frankly the only thing saving them from being the northern version of the Sahara Desert is the oil underneath.

    Just remember that we invaded the neighboring country that didn't have these sorts of backward laws.

    Something gives me the feeling these guys would probably just find another reason to continue acting the same way. I think most wrongly interpreted religious ideas often come about because of the person reading it, not what's written.

    Hey, at least the woman got a trial. Which is more than could be said for Saddam's victims.

    That's just wrong. These Saudis are clearly crazy.

    She was not alone with any of them. It's a gang rape.

    No, not the rapists. The guy who blackmailed her into meeting him by threatening he'd accuse her publicly of adultery (which, ultimately, would lead to her getting stoned to death).

    She's lucky she got 90 lashes instead of the death sentence ... if she had been accused of committing adultery with said man, she'd be a dead woman by now. That's how outrageous Sharia law is.
