A Saudi woman who was kidnapped at knifepoint, gang-raped and then beaten by her brother has been sentenced to 90 lashes — for meeting a man who was not a relative, a newspaper reported on Monday.
In an interview with the Saudi Gazette, the 19-year-old said she was blackmailed a year ago into meeting a man who threatened to tell her family they were having a relationship outside wedlock, which is illegal in the ultra-conservative desert kingdom.
After driving off together from a shopping mall near her home, the woman and the man were stopped and abducted by a gang of men wielding kitchen knives who took them to a farm where she was raped 14 times by her captors.
Five men were arrested for the rape and given jail terms ranging from 10 months to five years by a panel of judges in the eastern city of Qatif, near the woman’s hometown.
But the judges also decided to sentence the woman, identified by the newspaper only as ‘G,’ and the man to lashes for being alone together in the car.
And this is exactly the sort of theocracy that the so-called Liberals seem to support instead of America, which is only an imagined theocracy-in-the-making to them. You'd think that women's groups like Code Pink would be protesting outside the Saudi Embassy now and not the Walter Reed hospital.

It not a problem from what I understand once Islam is in control of the UK then we can change it from the inside. We just need to get involved.
And let's face it it isn't all bad news. We will be able to shut Hazel Blears and Patricia Hewitt up.
Oh and more importantly Cherie.
This is why we must DESTROY Islam at every turn!
