    meowgi ur an idiot. iam not a moslem but i agree that u go over the top in trying to dismiss an entire civ that was basis of western culture where western scientists learned at their scools and learned to trade and a culture that preserved greek philosophy for us.

    ur ethnocentric dismissal of an entire civ shows ur own ignorance and racism. u should go live in wyoming or something and lynch moslems if u find any.

    One Incident. And I'm sure you don't have the facts from the case.

    Im not saying the country is flawless. No country is, they all make mistakes. But to generalize and to make it seem that it is the worse country ever is r****ded, especially for people who have never stepped inside Saudi Arabia.

    The rapists were punished as well.

    Let me put it to you in a different way, lets say some chick was robbing a bank, and she robbed it, and while she was leaving the security guard raped her...

    Can she be punished under the law for robbing a bank?

    Right, so the girl in this case was not punished for getting raped, she was punished for being alone with a man, which according to THEIR law is illegal.


    Of course, neither you nor I know WHY she was alone with them, or the circumstances behind that. And I'm sure the judges had evidence presented to them for them to make such a judgment.

    It's funny how some people (always the same ones) will defend any **** that happens as long as Muslims are doing it.

    Did I defend the rapists? They too were Muslims.
    Did we mention that their sentencing was increased as well due to her appeal.

    Its just as funny how some people (the same oblivious ones) always jump to negative conclusions when there is anything controversial from anywhere in the Middle East (its all one big sandpit anyways, right?)

    That law is ridiculous.


    That's completely irrelevant. The punishment is outrageous and barbaric.

    I think not allowing woman to drive is a very progressive ideal only found in the Middle East. Imagine a country where there are no accidents and no reason to have any form of car insurance! That is something we can all agree upon.

    That's ridiculous, you keep skirting around the question.

    The law is stupid. Come on, restricting the movements of women. Look there are such things as universal human rights. The right to ****ing go where you want to go is exactly that and a bunch of sexist laws are wrong no matter what cultural lens you choose to look at it from. Culture isn't an excuse for sexist laws.

    Hey,
    How would you like it if you couldn't drive. You had to wear a ninja costume everyday, no matter how freakin' hot it was outside. Can't socialize with other people besides your chosen wife and family? Sounds like a loser to me. Wait, you sound like a loser already. I don't see how saying these laws are barbaric is his opinion. They are more like facts. Anyhow, have fun in hell.

    this isn't one incident. there are repeated incidents like this. and sure we hear about it because the media obviously knows that this kind of thing gets our attention but its not one thing.

    secondly when its the government officially doing these things, even if it is ONE INCIDENT, that is disgusting and outrageous.

    and the notion that i can't discuss a place where i've never been is dumb. you've never been to israel but im sure you feel the need to condemn their actions.

    what's disturbing is you painting everyone who finds this kind of bullsh!t to be bullsh!t as being some ignorant arab hating knee jerk reactor who simply wants to hate on some arabs today.

    saudi's laws on women are disgusting by every measure. if you believe in religion you necessarily probably also believe in some concept of universal truth. and to treat half the population degradingly is certainly one of those things that violates basic universal truths.

    as far as 'they all have people drive them around in fancy cars'. are you kidding? thats your saudi apologist defense? :rolleyes:

    That is neither the point nor the issue of this thread. It is the law of their land, since when does not conforming to your point of view make all other views wrong?

    Men can commit adultery in this country without being punished. Im sure according to MANY countries in the world that is considered worse.That in my opinion is a bigger crime than not allowing a woman to be with random guys. (Or vice versa)
