Saudi Arabia to Punish Survivor of Gang Rape with 200 Lashes and Prison
Term
By Melissa McEwan, Shakesville

Yes, you read that right. A woman who was raped by six armed men is
being punished by our BFF Wahhabists in Saudi Arabia. Huzzah for our
awesome ally!
The 19-year-old Shiite woman was originally sentenced to receive 90
lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the
rape," but after the woman had the unmitigated temerity of not
unquestioningly submitting to being tortured as punishment for "getting
herself raped," judges on Saudi Arabia's Higher Judicial Council more
than doubled her punishment for "her attempt to aggravate and influence
the judiciary through the media."
Her lawyer, human rights activist Abdul Rahman al-Lahem, has been banned
by the court from further working on her case, had his law license
revoked, and been "summoned by the ministry of justice to appear before
a disciplinary committee in December" after he appealed the original
verdict--not only because his client was sentenced to receive lashes,
but because her Sunni rapists were sentenced to shockingly paltry
sentences of one to five years.
On appeal, the court increased their sentences to two to nine years. And
they gave the women they raped 110 more lashes and a prison term.
This case is so horrendous, it makes any commentary about victim-blaming
superfluous. If you don't get why it's heinous, I don't think anything I
could say will convince you.
I will, however, note this: That's terrorism, plain and simple. When
women are tortured in this way, it a threat to other women that they,
too, will be tortured if they get the idea in their pretty little heads
to vigorously pursue justice after being raped. They are being terrified
so they will keep silent.
This is being done by one of our "allies."
But don't expect President George "W stands for Women" Bush to give a
flying ***** about this brand of terrorism in Saudi Arabia when he
doesn't even care about misogynist terrorism in America.

He has to. He's a wide-receiver.

Bush invaded the wrong country. Almost all the 9/11 hijackers were
Saudis, as is Bin Laden, and the Wahaabist movement in Islam is both
based there and actively encouraged by the Saudi regime.

Exactly. Pakistan is another hotbed of extremism. Musharraf is losing
control. Iraq, on the other hand, was absolutely no threat. I agree. We
attacked the wrong country..

Which was why it was invaded.

For daring to question male injustices. The 'Justices' have neither
testicles nor humanity.
Her lawyer, human rights activist Abdul Rahman al-Lahem, has been banned
by the court from further working on her case, had his law license
revoked, and been "summoned by the ministry of justice to appear before

They certainly have the Bushies in tow. I would like to see us develop
alternate energy sources if for no other reason that we can then tell
these sick bastards to stick all their oil where the sun don't shine and
then eat camel ***** and die.
