Isn’t 500 lashes essentially a death sentence?

I think the Saudi Arabian authorities lash you until you fall down and then let you recuperate in the hospital until you recover, then finish the sentence.

Not totally bad, just mostly so.

Well, if he did it in Great Britain, he'd probably only get 250.

Yes. He'll die long before that can be completed.

These people are evil and not human.

Yes. Essentially he will be beaten to death. He will die of the trauma and blood loss or a combination of it. Even if he survived, I am sure he would be confined to a wheel chair for the rest of his life. How anyone could stand 10 of those, let alone 500, is beyond me. Animals.

Nah, the person doing the lashing has to hold the Koran under his armpit along with the whip. If he drops it the sentence is completed. They don’t even keep count.

I knew of two who were beaten. The guy got 500 but they broke it up into two sessions. The gal got 250. His crime was sleeping with an illegal immigrant.

He was more embarrased than hurt because the beatings were held in the public square and some of his buddies saw it.
