Saudi Justice Ministry: gang rape victim was adulteress

The Justice Ministry -- what a joke -- the only thing missing is the JUSTICE.

It is interesting how the testimony of another defendant (read: rapist) is used to convict the woman, and how she and her husband "agreed to the verdict."

What would their alternative(s) be?

Recall how sanctions were harsh against the South African government because of "apartheid." (Harsh until the communist ANC got in, and presto.) How much worse the Saudi government operates, yet we flock there for jobs, take their bribes, and tolerate these outrageous reports. And they expect it.

Now about the rape of the man by the same people who raped the girl: what happens to him? Does he get a certain number of lashes for allowing that to happen?

It's high time to let the Saudis feel the weight of world opinion. Let them know that first of all the eyes of the world are upon them, that the world's media will not let this one pass, that their judicial system is an abomination.

I've emailed the Saudi Embassy in Washington at this email address: info@saudiembassy.net. You may be able to find other addresses.

Email them links to media coverage, the more the better.

You might also want to to remind them that their merciful Allah might just want to bestow a little mercy on this poor soul -- heaven knows, she's getting none from the Saudi courts.

Polite language but hard-hitting words of truth can be effective.

What exactly was this girl sentenced for? It's important that the Saudis be pressured to tell the world what specific crimes this girl committed and the prescribed punishment for each.

They tell us she was an adultress (how many lashes for that?); they tell us she was alone with an unrelated male (how many lashes for that?; they tell us she was gang-raped (how many lashes for that?; they tell us that she had the nerve to go to the media (how many lashes for that?); they tell us that her lawyer also had the nerve to go to the media (how many lashes for that?.

It seems that up until now Saudi justice has been unaccountable. The Age of the Internet will put a crimp in their style.

It figured that they'd come up with a twist like this. Anything to justify barbarity in the name of their god.

Marisol,

Barbaric as this punishment is by our standards, the Saudis are just following the only rules of "civilization" they've know for 1400 years.

As you noted, let them (and other Sharia wannabe nations) continue down this path. Perhaps more sunlight will expose these savages for what they really are...well, savages.

Scummy Arabia: birthplace of sanctified gang rape.

And this is supposed to make it all better?

The slimy, sanctimonious, Saudi scumbags do not have to justify their judicial system to anyone. Those self-righteous savages are beyond contempt; why do we tolerate them? Why do we allow them to build their filthy, hate-mongering mosques in our country and send their specially trained Wahabbi demons to disseminate "pure" islam on our soil?
They do not control the flow of oil and could not stop it if they wanted to, so why?

One more rhetorical question: Will history reveal the names of those powerful people who sold out their country for Saudi money, and will it expose the scope of their treachery against America and the American people? I pray it will, if for no other reason than to ensure that future generations of those families are so despised that they will never attain positions of power and influence.

The men who also raped the guy in the story surely are passing on disease to both.

Another reason to stop muslim immigration.

Saudi is famous for men on men sex. Immigration is bringing it and HIV to the UK and France.

Muslims Against Sharia condemn Saudi Arabia and its institutionalized barbarism. We call on every woman in the West to contact their governments to pressure Saudi Arabia to abandon its barbaric practices.

Dear Muslims Against Sharia:

How about a more concerted effort like a petition online that can be signed for starters?

I for one would also be happy to donate to a fund for her defense and medical treatment which I have a feeling she will desperately need.

Already emailed the Saudi Embassy and other offices.

Thank you.

Most likely she was given the choice of 200 lashes and possibly live or 200+ stones to her head buried up to her neck until she died a horrible death-mutilated and unrecognizable. Behold the so-called superior justice and compassion of Islam.

"The Saudi Justice Ministry announced that a girl gang raped by seven men and then sentenced to six months prison and 200 lashes for adultery had confessed to cheating on her husband, in its latest response to the negative international reaction to the incident." --from the article.

The sahih Hadith state that a Muslim guilty of adultery (i.e., a married person who has consensual sex outside of marriage) must be put to death by stoning. The flogging or lashes are to be used in the case of a Muslim freeman or freewoman guilty of fornication (i.e., an unmarried person who has consensual sex). According to the Hadith, the one who engages in a homosexual act and the one who has it done to them must be put to death by stoning. The hadith state that there should be no penalty to the victim of rape (she is "forgiven"). However, rape is very hard to "prove" in Islamic law.

Right, I am sure 4 of those Muslim rapists would tell the truth that they raped the girl and that guy. As usual, the Muslim woman is punished severely while the Muslim men get away with little punishment that hardly fits their crime...since her word has half the value as theirs.

MY! The scum. They lower themselves to levels you'd never expect sewer rats to reach. Many a time I've turned to Dhimmiwatch.com only to turn away in shock / disgust at the drepravities of a friggin' socity that follows the jibberish wonderings of a schizoid mass murdering peado f*ck to flourish.

And yet they somehow manage to outdo themsselves.

Here's a clue.

The evil is not in what they do but in the absolute certainty and innocence of their actions. Way worse than scum. Way worse. A pox on them all.

The Saudi Of Arabia? Pieces of shit. Vermin.

And this is the "law" they want to impose on the west. If ever there was a case for "islamophobia" this is it.

Dave, they're infiltrating the West with their disgusting mores. It's "The invasion of the body snatchers" but without the ropey acting and braziers that defy gravity.

Whenever I read such disgusting garbage I want to find some "Saudi" and give him a good ole fashioned Glaswegian kiss.

America's a different case, and I don't thing that most Europeans really understand the undercurrents that underpin US society together -I know I don't- but Europe is going to rid this cancer with Nationalism. Pure, unashamed Nationalism. Red in claw and unbowed to boot.

And it is not going to be pretty.

F*ck 'em.

Islam is based on the lie that evil is good.

Where is Farfour Fibrahim to condemn these kind of 7th century "justice" departments?

It gets on my nerves that people like CAIR spend large amount of money pressing charges against civilian forces who try to prevent terrorrist attacks, while keeping totally silent when things like this happen.

What's the matter, Fibrahim? Afraid to loose the pay check the saudis keep sending you?
You make me sick. Grab you 7th century religion (and the pedophile prophet) and get back to the hell hole you have created in Saudi Arabia.

...a few nights in a Muslim Prison and you would confess to anything....Allah hates Muslims, he causes their deaths, their poverty and their misery....

I want to know why this is not the lead story on EVERY news program.

Oh wait, I know why. Since they will be the majority if immigration continues, they don't want to upset their future overlords.

The first reports I read about this incident stated that the ex-boyfriend was threatening to circulate the photographs and she met up with him to get them back. If this is the case the ex-boyfriend sounds like a nasty piece of work and would be no doubt responsible for her 'tossing away her clothes' in the car after a little bit of blackmail on his part.

Such pious men in the Saudi court, I am sure none of them ever committed "adultery". I am sure they have other words to describe their disgusting sexual practices that allow them to justify what they do as consistent with their twisted religion. And they wonder why we don't "understand" their "religion".

Ohhhh, she committed adultery.(smacking forehead) That makes perfect sense. Lash away.

Note to the Saudis: Please keep trying to defend an indefensible verdict to a global audience.

Now about the rape of the man by the same people who raped the girl

The earlier article did not mention the rape of the man. From this version of the article: "The seven men convicted of raping the woman were given prison sentences of two to nine years." If this account is accurate, they were only punished for raping the woman.

Anyways, Marisol and Hugh have said everything I wanted to say, better than I could have said it. This has been an excellent teaching moment for the infidels.

I wonder what they did to this poor woman to get her to "confess" to adultery? I wonder why it was so important for Saudi officials to make something up and pin it on her? Was it getting a little too close for comfort, not really focusing attention on her rape, which Muslims couldn't care less about, but rather, shining the light on the rape of the man, which of course, never happens in Muslim countries.

Is it just me or does anyone else notice that the when one hears the word "gang rape" one almost always pictures Muslim men? Where else in the world is gang rape so prevalent? Where else, anywhere in the world (anyone?) is rape and gang rape practiced almost as a sacrament? And what entity benefits from the receiving of such a sacrament?

And where in the world is the so called "moderate" arab denounciation of this action. No comment from them tells me they can only be in support of this behavior by the radical Saudi government

I still have the feeling that the rapists were muttaween, the Saudi religious police, though none of the news reports say anything about that. Why would the men just hop into someone else's car and force them to drive somewhere where 5 other men were waiting? Did the men feel that they had some authority? Did they feel they had some moral/religious justification for what they were doing? Why wouldn't the two rape victims jump out of the car when two strangers hopped in?

If this story happened in NYC, I'd assume it was some gang members, high on drugs, who did it. If it happened in Saudi Arabia, I'd assume it was the religious police, high on religion, who did it.

No, it is not just you Isabellathecrusader.

Practically, the entire population of Scandinavia, where the number of Moslems is approaching 10% , associates “rape” with Muslim “men”.
Whereas “gang rape” is associated with Muslim beasts.

Ugh! Just the thought of arrogant, angry penises running a country makes me want to hurl. Don't these people have any decency? Didn't they ever have a mother they loved? They remind me of those little dogs that jump on your leg and go at it in polite company, that you have to kick across a room; mindless, horny and relentless.

Is this the best Islam has to offer? I'll take a thousand stones to go, thank you, if that is all there is to it. That these misogynistic bastards can advocate this kind of thing with a straight face is just beyond ludicrous.

If she was an adulteress, what do they call the man who was with her, or the men that raped both of them?

According to recent news reports, everyone directly involved are Shiites.

At this point, she is not married. She and her husband to be have signed a marriage contract (sort of like a formal engagement with marriage license), but have not done the formal wedding ceremony.

And the breakdown of the punishment? The original punishment was for being caught out in public in compromising circumstances. The balance of the two hundred lashes and six months in jail was for embarrassing the judges by going public and appealing the the original rather lenient sentence.

And she has been threatened with a harsher sentence if she appeals again and loses.

What a novel way of reducing court backlogs. We should adopt that principle.

I have never heard a single muslim denounce the rapists as criminals, even though some of them were convicted and sent to prison. An infidel like myself might get the impression that the muslim world does not think the rapists did anything wrong. Is this that "diversity" thing again? Am I missing something here?
