Saudi jails, lashes “naked” dancers, reports say
A Saudi court has sentenced four men to up to 10 years in prison and 2,000 lashes for dancing "naked" in public, media reported on Thursday.
In a video posted on YouTube, several men appear dancing atop a vehicle in the ultra-conservative province of Qassim. None seemed naked.
The court in Buraydah, Qassim's provincial capital, sentenced one defendant to 10 years in prison and 2,000 lashes, and another to seven years in prison and 1,200 lashes, Al-Sharq newspaper reported in what media have dubbed the "naked dancing" case.
Their two companions were jailed for three years and sentenced to 500 lashes each, it said.
The four were charged with "dancing on a vehicle in public and posting a video online, encouraging vice, defying norms of the society and violating public morals," according to Al-Sharq.
Two of them were identified as security officials.
Saudi Arabia applies a strict version of Islamic shariah law that imposes many social restrictions and bans public entertainment.
In unrelated news ... San Francisco city officials have agreed to a five year cultural exchange with members of the Saudi judiciary in an effort to promote cultural diversity and tolerance. (sarc)
To mix the colors of the US flag, one would have purple. To do the same with that other flag, one would get brown.

In San Francisco, 500 lashes is called "foreplay."

If the radical left had half a brain they would understand the biggest threat in the world to their lifestyle and survival is radical Islam. There is no reasonable explanation for their embrace of Islam other than a mutual hatred of Judeo-Christian values or perhaps a mutual love affair with Satan.
Thilly boyz...
Oh my God, I wonder what they would have done to these guys!
“In San Francisco, 500 lashes is called “foreplay.”
I think its the same thing in Saudi Arabia. They are so sexually repressed, they substitute torture for sex. That’s how they get off. And I’m not kidding. I’ve got my shrink cap on.

This muslim preacher only got 8 years - for the torture and repeated rape of his five year old daughter. Thankfully God was kind and the child died. She won’t be with this monster again...
No doubt that he will be revered in a Saudi prison as someone to be copied and admired.
