Yara, who does not want her last name revealed because of safety concerns, is a managing partner at a Saudi financial company. She went to hear Bush speak, and she said she invited him later to tour her company's offices, to give him a sense of what life was really like for women living in the capital.

She found out, didn't she. Reality smacks another liberal upside the head.

So much for women’s rights under islam.

Instant karma gonna get you!.......

Well, if she is stoned to death, hung, circumsized, there may yet come another conservative. A lot of libs become conservative only after a lot of trauma - some of us arrived by being educated and logical.

[andyk]

her family is furious that the American Embassy hasn't done more to support her.

You're right - sorry. It's our fault.

[metmom]

The whole article is a hoot.

Islam at its best....

And she was really expecting that all those people were lying all the time?

[MarkT]

Actually, I meant “if she is NOT stoned...” - either way the message is the same.

[Alouette]

I have no sympathy for morons who deliberately go into a 7th-century barbaric hellhole, stir sh!t up, and then expect the U.S. cavalry to come to their rescue.

“And her family is furious that the American Embassy hasn’t done more to support her.”

Why should the embassy do anything? She’s essentially left the US and is living in the fast lane.

[rmlew]

Idiot. Doesn’t she know that Niel Bush is a whilly owned subsidiary of ARAMCO (ie the Saudis)?

[MrB]

These stupid leftist women have been so brainwashed into the

“Western White Patriarchal Culture is the cause of all problems on the planet”

that they actually think ANY “brown” culture is superior. If they become Muslim, they are so totally screwed, because there is a death penalty for leaving Islam, and chattlehood for women in Islam.

Once again, the blame lies

FIRMLY ON THE LIBERALS

for this woman’s plight.

[lilylangtree]

Reality checks are definitely needed.

You made your bourka, now wear it.

And, don't forget.....

[Digital Sniper]

Another liberal realizes, all too late, the perils of thinking that Islamists are on their side.

[RetiredArmy]

Kinda like it is going to be here when Hillary and the Marxist’s are in charge. All kinds of arrests and gulags going up with anyone and everyone they consider unfriendly, not with their program, not a Marxist’s, dudden pay high taxes, speaks evil of her. Yup, its coming. It came in Nazi Germany, it came in Soviet Russia, it came in Communist Red China, it came in Communist North Korea and now it has come in Communist Venezuela. We are next here in the People’s Socialist States of Amerika.

She got one....

But on Monday, Yara learned that she had been wrong. She was thrown in jail, strip-searched, threatened and forced to sign false confessions by the kingdom's "Mutaween" police.

"When I was arrested, it was like going through an avalanche," she said. "All of my beliefs were completely destroyed."

[metmom]

Yara, who was born in Tripoli, Libya, to Jordanian parents, grew up in Salt Lake City. She moved to Saudi Arabia eight years ago with her husband, a prominent businessman.

I wonder if she was even a US citizen?

She's muslim. This is her religion and her culture.

Eight years there and never any problems? How could she have avoided any problems for that long without knowing how women are really treated?

She was pushing her luck and knew it. Now she's paying the price.

I wonder if any of the men she was with tried to help her or have any sympathy for her?

Yara, an American businesswoman, was arrested by Saudi Arabia’s religious police for sitting with a male colleague at Starbucks

That, in your view, constitutes stirring sh!t up?

Did you click the link and actually read the article about why she was in the Starbucks in the first place?

[Lurker]

That, in your view, constitutes stirring sh!t up?

Pretty much. She's lived in that barbaric den of islamothugs for 8 years. She should know their laws.
