Oh yea, this is sure to encourage victims of rape to come forward and bring their assailants to justice….NOT!

Saudi rape victim gets 90 lashes

RIYADH: A Saudi court has sentenced a gang rape victim to 90 lashes of the whip because she was alone in a car with a man to whom she was not married.

The sentence was passed at the end of a trial in which the Al Qateef high criminal court convicted four Saudis convicted of the rape, sentencing them to prison terms and a total of 2,230 lashes.

The four, all married, were sentenced respectively to five years and 1,000 lashes, four years and 800 lashes, four years and 350 lashes, and one year and 80 lashes.

A fifth, married, man who was stated to have filmed the rape on his mobile phone still faces investigation.

Two others alleged to have taken part in the rape evaded capture.

Saudi courts take marital status into account in sexual crimes. A male friend of the rape victim was also sentenced to 90 lashes for being alone with her in the car.

The court heard that the victim and her friend were followed by the assailants to their car, kidnapped and taken to a remote farm, where the raping occurred.

Reader brooklyn sent me the story and asked where are the feminist groups? Interestingly enough, the folks on the Left have plenty to lose with the influence of “pure Islam”, but it seems we Conservatives are the ones that usually talk about this issue. While the Left accuses us of bashing Arabs.

Liberals claim they don’t like the legislative desires of Christian Conservatives, but say little about the much greater threat presented by Islamists.

It’s amazing that female Liberals like Cynthia McKinney can claim the USA should do more with Muslim nations, while many of those same nations would never allow her to have political posts or run her mouth the way she can in the USA. She sees how women are treated over there, but still lobbied on their behalf in the US Congress. How much in campaign funds does it take to make someone shoot themselves in the foot? Oh well, at least she’s leaving, again.

    Leftist will say nothing about the treatment of women under the yoke of Islam because they are unable to admit that certain cultures are inferior…especially if that culture is inferior to the West.

    The horrors of life for women and Christians under Sharia Law (Islam rules) are ignored by the Left because they do not see dusky skinned muslims as equals they see them as children who do not know any better.

    For instance the only way Leftists are willing acknowledge the open slavery going on in the Sudan is to find some way to blame Bush for not doing enough. They ignore the U.N. and the role it should to play in the Sudan crisis and place all the blame on BUsh. The terrible treatment of black Christians at the hands their Islamic tormentors had been going on during the Clinton era but it was ignored by the Left since you couldn’t lay a foreign policy failure at the feet of Newt Gingrich.

    Is Cynthia McKinney the same black Congresswoman whom was kicked out of Congress for demanding an investigation to the 911 incident and then returned?

    Well she lost re-election after acting silly about those things, later came back and won, then lost again.  And her remaining gone is preferred.

    McKinney was heavily funded by California Liberals, Arabs and Islamists.

    In other words, she was receiving a lot of outside money from groups that never promote things I’ve found to be good :) .

    I guess the Arab judicial system felt that she had no business in a car full of men and she asked for it.  That situation doesn’t look right here in America, and please don’t let the woman have the wrong type of apparel on.  I am not justifying this rape issue at all, but women do have to be careful how to present themselves.  However, there is still some sickos out there, regardless.

    Maybe there is more to this rape case as well.
