Saudi Blogger Sentenced To 1,000 Lashes May Not Withstand 2nd Round Of Flogging, Says Wife
A Saudi Arabian blogger imprisoned for starting a liberal online forum to encourage discussion and debate in his country may not be able to withstand a second flogging this Friday, his wife says.
Raif Badawi was sentenced last May to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes by a Saudi court for “insulting Islam.” Last Friday he endured the first round of lashes -- 50 strikes on the back of his body by a long, hard cane -- in a public flogging held in the city of Jiddah. This Friday, he will reportedly be subjected to a second round of 50 lashes.
“Raif told me he is in a lot of pain after his flogging, his health is poor and I’m certain he will not be able to cope with another round of lashes,” Badawi’s wife, Ensaf Haider, told Amnesty International.

I suppose Saudis had better stand up and do something then. The West is only ever going to declare Islam a religion of peace.
50 lashes at a time? That’s major excerpting.
Islam... The religion of pieces.
When did humblegunner relocate to Saudi Arabia?
LOL He’s getting soft in his old age.
I think they do it in sections of 50, so after the 2nd round he still will have to face 18 more rounds to reach a total of 1000 which to me obviously means he will die. So like the terrorists in Paris who killed 15 because they practiced free speech, so will this guy die for practicing free speech. But oh this is not Islam according to Obama.
Of course every liberal in this country is protesting his treatment. Or maybe not.
Who is John Kerry bringing in to sing for this event ?
“Who is John Kerry bringing in to sing for this event ?”
I suggest Yoko.
The figurehead/leader of the free world bowed his head, and every U.S. citizen’s symbolic head, in SUBMISSION to this crap.
This is clearly death by torture. Where is the American denunciation and sanctions? Where are the voices of Hollywood? Where are ... Oh never mind, it is just the Muslims. Wake them up when it is the TEA party or other conservatives doing the deed.
Saudis are evil people.
Don’t forget putting panties on one’s head.
Well at least they didn’t put a hood on his head and take a few photos of him in his underwear.
According to the media, THAT is unacceptable treatment of mudslimes.
Well geee......
How about Miley or Beyonce (shoot just about any modern “artist”) so the lashing pain will be dulled by the crap in his ears?
