Saudi Arabia - 10 years, 2000 lashes, 10K Fine for dancing on a car roof

Miss_Kitami · 08-10-2013 03:49PM

Thousands of lashes...that alone could potentially be a death sentence depending on how strong the victim is.

A hundred years ago they were living in tents out there in the desert chopping each other's heads off, and that's exactly where they'll be in another hundred years.

Sounds delightfully racist.

There are still chopping each other heads off. Had the misfortunate to see it a few years back while working there. Police just pull up in a public space announce some stuff, pull out the plastic sheet, push out the prisoners and ....
Probably plenty of scenes on youtube.
But hey, its ok, they still have oil and let us in the west have for it for a price.

What I find surprising is that they're still an ally of America. The two countries could not be more ideologically opposed.

Ideologically opposed?

Far from it.

America's elite, out for itself and f*ck the people.

The Saudi elite, out for itself and f*ck the people.

Plenty in common.

The irony of pulling out the race card against someone referring to Saudi Arabia of all places.

Don't agree with rash or offensive generalisations.

However, from a purely factual point of view, the beheading count is up to 66 - so far - this year;

What's the fine for opening numerous threads about Islam all the time?

Hoop66 · 08-10-2013 04:28PM

There's a difference between being disgusted by the actions of the Saudi religious police and saying, or implying, things like "muslims are all savages".

Judging muslims by the actions of Wahhabi islamist cúnts is like judging christians by the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church cúnts.

I was browsing the news. And found some interesting new stories.

Meanwhile you continue to stalk my posts, thank any that disagreed with me, and so on. It's a little sad.

Now run along an PM Nodin and Humani to get the thread closed.

LOL !

Yeah but they all look a bit similar so it makes perfect sense.

The Police of Vice and Virtue serve a very important purpose, praise be to them and Allah.

Why is this topic not worthy of discussion?

I'll bet if this was a Christian county the same pc people would trip over themselves to condemn it.

Just because its portraying Islam in a bad light you don't want it discussed, simple as.

They are amongst us, in Athlone, and beaming in from London, to impose their worldviews on those less enlightened !

Oooohh. And PMing the Mods to lock threads that offend their sensibilities.

And running to them with their little black book of Users they want banned.

LOL !

Stop with the baiting and stick to the topic.

Due to the poster's incongruity in casting aspersions on another in relation to race when discussing one of the most openly racist countries in the world.
Had the topic centered around a more enlightened nation the same sense of irony wouldn't exist.

Anyway, I don't have time to give free online grinds in the English language right now. But feel free to send me PM to discuss suitable times, and of course - my fee.

Back on topic -

Over what time period would the 2000 lashes be administered?
No matter what way I look at it, that amount even over the space of a decade is potentially life threatening.

Surveyor11 · 08-10-2013 04:57PM

Presume the lashes are on the ar$e? ouch.

Miss_Kitami · 08-10-2013 05:01PM

I'd have expected the bare-back.

Is it? I don't know of any Christian countries which conform to the beliefs of Fred Phelps. Many, if not most, countries which have Islam as the official religion have these practices, maybe not as barbaric as that desert cesspit, but not too far off either. Even in the so called 'moderate' places like Dubai you can be jailed for not wearing a shirt in certain places. And you need only look at the support the Muslim Brotherhood have in Egypt to see that this stuff isn't just the work of a few loonies either, it's a fairly large segment of the public.

On a side note, that Saudi Gazette is hilariously patronising. What a ****hole that place is.
