RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- A Saudi court convicted a man and sentenced him to four months in prison and 90 lashes for kissing a woman in a mall, a government-owned daily reported Thursday.

Saudi religious police arrested the man and two women after seeing them on mall cameras "engaging in immoral movements in front of other shoppers," the Al-Yom newspaper said.

The man, who is in his 20s, was seen with a woman "sitting on one of the chairs, exchanging kisses and hugs." It was unclear what the other woman was doing. Neither the man nor the women were identified by name.

Islam: The world’s only self-parodying religion.

90 lashes is a death sentence unless administered over days with medical treatment .

It will be fun to hear the liberals in Western Europe howl when sharia becomes their form of law.

Here in America, it will be interesting. muslims want to infiltrate from within here too, but they’ll have Mexicans to contend with. Mexicans don’t hate themselves, and won’t be in a hurry to ditch their Christian faith.

These people are truly demented.

The women will be tried in another court.

My bet is that the women will be stoned or gang-raped as punishment.

90 lashes is a death sentence unless administered over days with medical treatment .

Or 90 lashes is a joke, if administered the way I saw a youtube vid posted on this forum about a year ago.

In that video, it appeared that the whipper was barley touching the whipee, very softly.

From the article:

“The newspaper said the man sentenced for kissing will receive his 90 lashes in three batches, and is banned from malls for two years.”

That mall banning is gonna leave a mark........

". . . shops are forced in most places to close several times a day for Muslim prayers and men go to the mosque and worship. Young men often must pay more than $50,000 in dowry . . . a huge burden in a country where economists put male unemployment at over 20 percent."

Think there's any correlation?

Don’t you know Malls are for shopping and blowing yourself up?

You must destroy a human being with 90 lashes and a prison sentence (if he lives) because their god will be mad (like an adolescent kid) because a man kissed a woman he loved. What part of this makes you want to have little sympathy for these demons who push this form of Islam down the throats of human beings?
