Saudi Arabia: Girl gets year in jail, 100 lashes for being a rape victim

"The District Court in Jeddah pronounced the verdict on Saturday after the girl confessed that she had a forced sexual intercourse with a man who had offered her a ride."

Sharia Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: "Girl gets a year in jail, 100 lashes for adultery," by Adnan Shabrawi from the Saudi Gazette, January 7 (thanks to Joseph):

JEDDAH - A 23-year-old unmarried woman was awarded one-year prison term and 100 lashes for committing adultery and trying to abort the resultant fetus.

The District Court in Jeddah pronounced the verdict on Saturday after the girl confessed that she had a forced sexual intercourse with a man who had offered her a ride. The man, the girl confessed, took her to a rest house, east of Jeddah, where he and four of friends assaulted her all night long.

The girl claimed that she became pregnant soon after and went to King Fahd Hospital for Armed Forces in an attempt to carry out an abortion. She was eight weeks' pregnant then, the hospital confirmed.

According to the ruling, the woman will be sent to a jail outside Jeddah to spend her time and will be lashed after delivery of her baby who will take the mother's last name.

Well, that's sharia law Saudi style...I wonder if judge Vicky in Oklahoma ever reads any of these reports?

Allah is merciful, eh?

Well, Roland, DefenderofIslam, GargledTea, Alia/TheTruth and all the other trolls, do you agree with the Sharia court's decision? Yes, or No.


“awarded”?

“confessed” ?

Truly twisted

And another thing......

"The District Court in Jeddah pronounced the verdict on Saturday after the girl confessed that she had a forced sexual intercourse with a man who had offered her a ride." (Saudi Gazette)

Confessed to forced sexual intercourse?! What d'ya mean, 'confessed' to a crime committed against you? Would anyone 'confess' that their house had been burgled?

And 'forced sexual intercourse'. Why not just say simply, rape?!

Islam is totally unique in that it twists and warps language and meaning out of any recognition.

This is Islamic justice prescribed by that women hating misogynist Mo/allah. All Muslims proudly follow him and his orders!!!

How can you not be a looser when you are a woman and lives in a shari'ah-driven country? Impossible.

Who are obsessed with sexuality in those countries?

A friend of mine worked in Saoudi Arabia for a telephone company. During one of this numerous trips to Saoudi, He had in his luggage a Sears catalogue he was bringing in for other women who worked there as well, and the guys at the Airport Customs found it. The guys were browsing through the pages where women were wearing bras and they were troubled by the pictures calling the other Custom guys around to come to see what they have found. Seing the commotion this thing was creating, my friend got scared of being arrested and decided to call an influential Saoudi friend and came to rescue him at the airport. All this commotion for a Sears clothing catalogue. The friend came a discussion went on in Arabic and my friend was let go.

Tell that to all the Western broads who flock to Islam convinced that Islam honors women while Christianity degrades and objectifies them. I, a former christian, do not care to defend the Christian dogma per say. However, I more aghast and indigent by these treasonous broads who appear to be much more educated and functional than their male convert counter-parts, normally drawn from the dregs of society and the ranks of the psychologically margianl.

One of such broads tried to get a Coptic university professor fired some years ago when he held a club meeting to speak about the human rights abuses in the Islamic world. A meeting that she invited herself to to defend her newly found religion and made such a stink about it that the hurt the professor's career.

I have had some run-ins myself and I came within a hair of getting in trouble because I started to pile evidence of Islamic doctrinal misogyny.

Years ago when Bush#1 was President, he was asked to speak up to the Saudi King in behalf of an American businessman who had been in Saudi prison for 18 months and got the bottoms of his feet caned...The offense was possession of pornography which was a video tape of the tv program, 'The Love Boat'...Bush Sr refused to speak up for this man, and he may still be in Saudi prison for all I know...

The " Love Boat " was considered pornography ?

Wow !

I guess it's a good thing that they never saw " Fantasy Island ".

That could have given an all new meaning to the phrase " Da Plane ! Da Plane "...

And ….and nothing happened to the 4 rapists …no one looked for them ….got their names…cut off their heads ,Islamic style ….oh I forgot ..it is Islamic land where Justice and logic does NOT exist after all .

Muslim women have no identity, no value, and no hope of being free...but they "love" Islam.

Sharia and logic, are at odds..

Please tell me, how can a man be raped by a woman? ie FORCED intercourse? The Saudi judge must be naiive about the bird and the bees! In other words it takes two to tango.

What exactly is 'forced intercourse'? Call it what it is - rape - and let the girl go!!

Well, Roland, DefenderofIslam, GargledTea, Alia/TheTruth and all the other trolls, do you agree with the Sharia court's decision? Yes, or No.

Course they do, because they're typical misogynistic Muslim savages.

Somebody tell NOW or NARAL - a woman - a rape victim, no less - forced to carry to term a fetus that she wants to abort. Oh, the humanity!!! Not only that, the fetus will get her name.

My buddy was deported from that hellhole because another buddy (well-intentioned, but inebriated, I'm sure)decided to tuck some choice items into his shipped luggage at the going away party in the US. The Mutaween found it and trust me, there was no mercy for this, particular, poor bloke. I haven't heard from him since...

Two unstated things can be deduced from the story.

1) The woman had reason to believe she could get an abortion at that hospital. Why is that I wonder?

1a) If abortions are only legally given for health reasons the woman must have known that it is possible to fudge medical info so women can get abortions even when there is no health risk - like in cases of rape or even just poverty (the hospital was for the use of soldiers, not a famously lucritive occupation). At least some saudi doctors have the capacity for understanding, compassion and mercy. But someone at that hospital didn't because-

2) Someone at that hospital reported a patient that had come to the hospital for help. They didn't just send her away they had her arrested even though they knew she would be whipped.

And we can deduce quite easily from the verdict given in the most islamic counrty in the world that:

3)Rape is legal in Islam. That speaking out when one has been raped results in punishment proves that.

This is not deducable from the story but it is in keeping with other aspects of life in Islamic or Arab countries. If she said the rapist was a Hindu or black (don't kid yourselves) that baby would have been instantly aborted and she would not have been turned into the police by the hospital.

She's lucky they're not scheduling her for **stoning to death**, or for a beheading in chop-chop square.

In the comments thread to this article posted at jihadwatch in 2005

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/10/pipes-arabian-sex-tourism.html

UK poster 'Interested' posted a comment describing incidents of gross Muslim cruelty to women, that feature in the book 'Princess', by Jean Sassoon, on life in Saudi Arabia. I will cite the relevant portions here.

Interested | October 7, 2005 11:57 AM

".. Have you read 'Princess' by Jean Sassoon?...

"Two stories stick in my mind.

"One is of a 12 year old girl from Pakistan, sold to a Saudi man as a sex slave and being gang raped by him and his brothers.

"Not only do the men not think it is wrong, but the Arab women think it is OK because men can't help themselves and in any case the girl has been paid for.

"Another story is of a girl in a modern hospital in Jeddah, about to give birth.

"**As soon as she has had the baby she will be executed. Her crime? She was gang raped.** {my emphasis - dda}

"Astonishingly, the writer completely exhonerates Islam from these and other horrors she describes.

"Yet the treatment of women is no worse than that meted out by Mohammed and his companions and breaks no law in Islam."

Isabella: Your friend was smart in acting on his gut feeling of imminent danger and acting swiftly to protect himself, thank God!!

I am somewhat amazed that New Yorkers would even consider accepting Saudi money to re-open St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan. Mention a Saudi king and even the most educated people get stars in their eyes. I say, turn the money down and tell the king dictator why he can take his money and shove it--because it's blood money. Or else, accept the money and make it clear that it is to be used to house and assist Saudi rape victims.

Also, I would like to mention that punishing the victim is something that happens in homes where the parents are either addicted to drugs/alcohol or lust. Children are abused in the U.S. in non-Muslim families and the children are told to keep quiet about it or else they will reap additional punishment. The difference is important, however. Western culture disapproves. The child has a chance if they go to the authorities in their school. Not so in Islamic culture.

I am wondering just how much the free flow of Middle Eastern heroin has to do with the madness that takes place in Islamic countries. And quite frankly, it's alcohol that feeds the madness that takes place in the U.S. In some ways we are calling the kettle black.

A sober mind is better than a drugged mind, whether it be heroin, alcohol, lust, gambling or sadism.

The Muslims do not convert to Christianity because they will be murdered for leaving Islam.
This is why so few do convert.
Islam has this rule so they keep increasing their membership. How many people would change religions if they would be murdered for doing so.
Have you noticed if a Muslim woman married a Christian man her family kills her.
If a Muslim man marries a Christian woman she has to convert or be killed.

It is typical of domestic violence "abusers" (psychological term)to deflect any and all responsibility for their own behavior onto their victim and to make their victim responsible. Islam caters to abusers and makes women responsible for male crimes against them. Women are made responsible for the Islamic "honor" (face-saving) of men, and are punished when men behave badly (e.g. rape) towards them.

While not what happened here clearly, it is not impossible either.

The biological processes which make intercourse possible do have an at least semi involuntary component. Any man has had at least 1 experience of becoming physically aroused at an embarrasing and in oppurtune time where given the choice they would have chosen not to.

While considerably more difficult and more prone to unsuccessful attempts, a sufficiently predatroy women could
have her way with an unwilling man. Rarer than the reverse but not impossible either.

In this case we have a poor woman who was gang raped, and then raped by the legal system. The sad state is that many still would consider her lucky since she is not set to be executed, only in a sick, sick world could this woman ever be described as lucky. Islam needs to be banned and then irradicated, relegated to the history books of evil and failure as it reeks of both.

they tend to have issue with the line telling wives to be in subjection to thier husbands.

Yet they ignore that husbands are to treat thier wives as christ treated the congregation. In other words they are to be patient, respectful, tend to thier wives needs, and consider her feelings in matters when making decisions, and be willing to die for them.

How they have issue with this and not Mohammeds instructions to Beat them,for they are as domestic animals and must be owned by a man and may not own anything. I have no idea.
