Barbarism, Indeed
I’m a pretty liberal guy and I’m all for respecting the culture of other peoples and nations; however, this is something that deserves our contempt and outrage. How even an Islamic nation in the 21st century can have the audacity to punish the victim of rape is beyond me. And to punish this women with 90 lashes! Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Court heaped even more degrading humiliation upon this poor woman by increasing her punishment for having the un-Islamic audacity to speak out against this demeaning punishment. What kind of message does this send? There is no excuse, not even oil, that every country on the planet shouldn’t be speaking out against this, including the US.
