Quote# 58837

A district court in Saudi Arabian capital Jeddah sentenced a pregnant gang -rape victim to 100 lashes and one year imprisonment after the court pronounced her of committing adultery.

The 23-year old woman was reportedly assaulted after accepting a lift from a man in Jeddah. She was taken into a house and was raped by the man and his four friends. The woman after getting pregnant went to King Fahd Hospital for Armed Forces in an attempt to carry out an abortion where her 'crime' was revealed.

The judge who pronounced the verdict said that the unmarried woman had committed adultery as she became pregnant after a forced sexual intercourse. She will be sent to a prison outside Jeddah to spend the one year imprisonment where she will be flogged after delivering her child.

According to Islamic Sharia law, The testimony of four male witnesses is the standard for establishing guilt in sexual offenses. If four male witnesses do not come forward and the rape victim becomes pregnant, her pregnancy becomes evidence that she has committed adultery.

And the lesson for today is: When raped by 5 bastards, don't get pregnant. Makes you look guilty.

So, errm, nobody thinks that she was asking for it?

C'mon, she's a woman in S. Arabia!

It's fucking obvious that she WANTED to be fucked by 4 guys!

Four rapist erections are more important than the brutal crimes committed against a woman. I hate the world.

Adultery is consentual.
Rape is not.

Do these stupid Muslim fucks who follow Sharia even think critically about this shit?

The problem is that Islamic fundamentalists give all Muslims a bad name.

This is just plain fucked up. It has to be said though, the governments of the western world don't seem to really give a shit about much of what goes on in the medieval theocracy of Saudi Arabia. When an upstart like Saddam (No less of a maggot than the Saudi royals, just less important) thumbs his nose at the west, America invades with the UK's, Australias and Polands help and the rest of the Western world quibbles but basically doesent give a shit.
This sort of inhuman barbarity in Saudiland barely raises a whimper in Whitehall or the White House because there's oil under them there sands so our leaders buy their gas and leave them to beat, rape and whip their women in peace.

I'd say the evidence presented gives a rather resounding NO. Sharia says, and with that, they let the men go scot free, and leave the victim to be punished. And since it's in strict accordance to Sharia law, they need not lose any sleep, as they were just following the laws of the land.

Shut the fuck up, you witless gut-parasite. From now on, I'm going to post in every christian fundy thread, "They're almost as bad as the muslim fundies" from now on.

More evidence that Saudi Arabia should have had the shit bombed out of it instead of Iraq.

I hate to say it, but I'm amazed she's only being flogged. Don't they usually behead women for having the audacity to get themselves raped?

Fuck these people. She was RAPED. She doesn't want this child! All I can hope is that the woman doesn't suffer too much at the hands of these assholes.

I'm sorry, but I can't see why people always compare Islam to Christianity, when Islam is clearly much, much worse. Really, I find it impossible not to hate Islam after reading this.

Anyone else ready to lobby strongly for sharp steps away from oil-based products or fuels? Oil money helps encourage this kind of fundamentalism, it funds it, and serves as a shield to protect it from the kind of ostracization it needs from the sane secular arm of society.

It should be pointed out that this is a strict Wahhabi interpretation of the Sharia. Not all Sharia courts would take this view, or indeed deal with this kind of offence.

You Saudis will run out of victims sooner or later... you'll run out of people because you killed all the women for the crime of being rape victims.

All flames will burn themselves out in the end, not matter how much fuel was fed to it.

Adultery is the same thing as rape? I'd say Welcome to the Dark Ages, but I suspect even the Dark Ages knew better than that.

Still, as a test case for all that is wrong with extreme religious views, you can't get much clearer than this.

What about the intent of the person? She had no intention of committing adultery, and she had no choice in the matter. This makes me sick!

It makes me angry that my government wants to do business with this medieval country; selling them guns and helping them build a gun-factory, and is unsure whether it's a democracy or not. As long as half the population is treated as property
IT IS NOT A DEMOCRACY!
