Riyadh (dpa) - Two Saudi men were to receive 7,000 lashes each for committing ``homosexual acts,'' Saudi Okaz newspaper reported Thursday.
Saudi authorities started executing the court order Tuesday, which had been divided into separate phases, the report added.
Another Saudi man, meanwhile, was to receive 470 lashes separately for doing drugs and resisting the security forces.
The Saudi judiciary system is based on the strict principles of Islamic sharia law.

7,000 lashes ... but they're breaking it into two sessions.
There wouldn't be any skin or muscle left.

It’s an outrage that we consider such a backwards, benighted regime as an ally.

Well, it looks like they DO have gays in Saudi Arabia. Maybe in Saudi Arabia, but definitely not Iran. Maybe Nutjob can get their address.

Pairs or all together?

It’s an outrage that we consider such a backwards, benighted regime as an ally. Yep. Having worked in the Kingdom on several occasions, I can tell you that the best way to describe the population there is they all wear Rolex watches, but none of them know how to tell time......

Saudia Arabia is no ally - they are an enabler of our policy of protecting the world oil supply.

7000 each
The judge prolly told them, “you each will get one hundred licks”, and the sentenced went ecstatic and screamed for more.
He had to clarify "lashes"...
