Barbarians
A 19-year-old Saudi woman who was kidnapped, beaten and gang raped by seven men who then took photos of their victim and threatened to kill her, was sentenced under the country’s Islamic-based law to 90 lashes for the “crime” of being alone with a man not related to her.
The woman is appealing to Saudi King Abdullah to intervene in the controversial case.
“I ask the king to consider me as one of his own daughters and have mercy on me and set me free from the 90 lashes,” the woman said in an emotional interview published Monday in the Saudi Gazette.
UPDATE: More barbarity here.
The most disgusting part of the second article, about the woman who had maried an Afghan national, was undoubtedly the comments section.
Unbelievable vitriol and yet standard knee-jerk, “It’s not the religion, it’s the culture” and “You’re a woman, what would you know” pap.
Seriously, is there even a sane solution to dealing with these people or do we simply need to descend to their level just long enough to rid the world of their evil?
