The victim of a violent gang rape has been sentenced by a Saudi Arabian court to 200 lashes and six months in jail for the crimes of speaking to the press and indecency.
According to Sharia Law, a Saudi Arabian woman must be accompanied by a male guardian at all times in public, something the 19 year old victim did not obey when she went to meet a friend, according to website Live Buddhism.
While in a car with a student friend, retrieving a picture, two men got into the vehicle and drove them to a secluded area. She said she was raped there by seven men, three of whom also attacked her friend.
The Shi’ite Muslim woman had initially been sentenced to 90 lashes after being convicted of violating the Kingdom’s religious diktats on segregation of the sexes, where woman are treated as second class citizens.
After the sentences were handed down following the rape in 2006, which included lenient custodial sentences for the men guilty of the violent crime, the woman’s lawyer appealed to the Saudi General Court. But instead of choosing to overturn the punishments for being the victim of a crime, the court more than doubled her sentence.

Feminism’s idea of Utopia.
Well, this will give the goofball American media something to think about as they pursue their quest for transformation.
I keep hearing Saudi Arabia called “our ally”, and seeing Presidents holding their kings hand, and bowing to them.
The world would be better off if it simply caused the entire Middle East to cease to exist. Move Israel to Idaho or Montana, and start the cleansing! The world will not have a moment’s peace until all the Muslims are gone!
So the Saudi courts acknowledge that all the men in the country are rapists,they just need a trigger to set them off.
Remind me how Christianity has had a war on women for the past 2000 years...
But women make 20% less than men here so we are no better. #liblogic
Nah. The goofball media in the US will not notice. Besides the rapists got off lightly - reporting that would anger hardcore socialist feminists.
The rapee got her sentence doubled for harassing the court. She should have known better.
We can never be a moral nation on the world stage as long as Saudi Arabia is our ally.
Hell . . . they won't even mention it. Whoopie Uglyberg will let it pass as will the mainstream media . . . doesn't fit their narrative.
it is interesting I heard a Saudi cleric say women should not drive cars because if there car breaks down at the side of the road the women might be rapped. There culture should be destroyed totally and utterly. there religion should be regarded as we regard Norse and Greek mythology. The story of Muhammad should be a warning to all of the evils of false prophets and a example of the damage a pedophile can do if there behavior is deemed except able. and yes I am trying to be offensive on purpose because I find there whole religion to be offensive to my sensibilities as a man and son of my mom.
Isn't SHARIA LAW GRAND? Victimizing the victim a second time? /sac
This has nothing to do with Islam.
There is no Islam here.
This is not the fault of Islam.
You can’t blame random bad behavior on Islam.
Islam is pure and has no part in this.
The women here don’t know how lucky there are living in the land of ‘misogynists.’
they are...
You forgot George W Bush’s description.
There’s a story of an Australian woman who worked for a large hotel in Dubai (United Arab Emirates).Once,during her off time,she went to the hotel bar and someone slipped something into her drink.She woke up...hours later...to find herself in a room and that she had been raped.She reported the incident to the Dubai police.She wound up serving 9 months in jail for “sex outside marriage”.This is despite the obvious fact that the sex was not consensual.
Savages. The Saudis need to be FORCED to stop this crap!!
Nuke Riyadh. Wipe out the “royal” family entirely. Occupy the oil fields and lease them to the highest US based bidder.
Then bulldoze Mecca.
