We’re in Afghanistan fighting for feminism and women’s rights yet not a word at Saudi Arabia
I remember many of the justifications for war in Afghanistan, the one that made me giggle was women’s rights, I’ve never thought of US Marines or NZ SAS as particularly feminist organizations, but what do I know? I do find it surprising that if we are in Afghanistan fighting for women’s rights, not a word at Sudia Arabia for this insult to reason…
Saudis back rape victim sentence
Authorities in Saudi Arabia have defended a judicial sentence of 200 lashes for a rape victim. The justice ministry said in a statement that the sentence was justified because the woman was in a car with an unrelated man. The 19-year-old, who has not been named, was travelling in a car with a male friend last year, when the car was attacked by a gang of seven men who raped both of them.
So the woman is to receive 200 lashes for being raped in a car with a man she wasn’t related to? How backwards is that, I mean how really, really, knuckle dragging backwards is that? It is so against what Islam stands for, it’s as warped as those American Christians who protest soldier funerals because they believe every soldiers death is God punishing America for not burning homosexuals at the stake.
