Are the people on this board who agree this is a good punishment ultra-Islamists? Or ultra-Conservative?
Yup, words mean things.
An Islamist (as you will find in the Saudi theocratic government) supports discrimination against non-muslims under the law (fewer rights under the law and harsher sentencing for crimes committed against muslims).
You will have to keep stretching to try to make the point that anyone on FR is an “Islamist” but it is very easy to point out that Saudi Arabia is an Islamist kingdom. Nothing “conservative” about it.
