They're just doing justice according to sharia.

Clearly, this lack of cultural sensitivity from you on traditional muslim way is a blatant outburst of racist Islamophobia

[Dinner]

Clearly.

The real question is: What are our governements willing to do about it ?

[Proteus_MST]

I assume the same that the american government does to all of their allies that have a questionable human rights record

invade

Not as long as they´re useful as allies

well it was a cross-post, I should have quoted dannubis

the answer on your question is: Red carpet them, have a ball, tell them that we respect the cultural difference and that there can be no interference with other sovereign state internal affairs. Sign a 100bn oil contract

This is quite merciful by Saudi standards. This is the country where the religious police stopped schoolgirls fleeing a burning school because they weren't dressed right.

Interesting that the doubled the attackers sentances too. I can "see" (not agree) the reasoning why they tacked on some lashings onto the girl, just simple retaliation for trying to use the media to influence the outcome of the trial, or whatever that farce is called. But what did her individual apeal have to do with the cases of the attackers? Its like the judge in the soon to be held OJ trial decided to tac on a few years to Manson for good measure.

Note also that they punished her lawyer.

It's easy to see why Osama Ben Laden wants to overthrow this regime. How could the courts even think of punishing those men who were so wrongfully tempted by this young girl's invasion of their car?

Saudis must have small penises schlongs.

I think you'll find that is the UK's governments's job

WHat you have to understand is the cultural differencies. Look at you, look at you, you murderous bastards. You don't care about your poor, look, titties on TV all the time, you have no values.



Yeah. Pretty screwed up. 200 lashes even.. isn't it possible, that this kind of physical punishment would actually be lethal?? Infections and all that kind of stuff.

Like on ships in the good ol days, normally you get 20 at a time, spread out over enough time (days or weeks) to make them non lethal. I imagine it is the same in KSA.

Well looky here... yet another situation where I DON'T agree with the law...

(Yes, I know... I'm turning into a 'regular non-conformist')
