Horror: Saudi Woman Gets 200 Lashes For Getting Gang-Raped

This is what I hate most about fundamentalist Islam. 

The 19-year-old woman -- whose six armed attackers have been sentenced to jail terms -- was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape," the Arab News reported.

But in a new verdict issued after Saudi Arabia's Higher Judicial Council ordered a retrial, the court in the eastern town of Al-Qatif more than doubled the number of lashes to 200

So six armed guys overpower and rape her, and you sick fucks are gonna lash her for it?  When it comes to Saudi Arabia, I'm going to actually agree with the militant feminists, kill all the men first.

Last year, the court sentenced six Saudi men to between one and five years in jail for the rape as well as ordering lashes for the victim, a member of the minority Shiite community.

But the woman's lawyer Abdul Rahman al-Lahem appealed, arguing that the punishments were too lenient in a country where the offence can carry the death penalty.

In the new verdict issued on Wednesday, the Al-Qatif court also toughened the sentences against the six men to between two and nine years in prison.

Two to nine years?  Goddamn you fucking animals, they oughta be lifers or hanging.

The case has angered members of Saudi Arabia's Shiite community. The convicted men are Sunni Muslims, the dominant community in the oil-rich Gulf state.

So beyond being animals, they're bigoted animals?  The treatment of women in the Middle East is horrifying, and we need to demand better.  If we can't do it on official channels, we need to do it as a people.  We might not be able to stop this horror right now, but we need to make it clear that the first chance we get, we will change it, and these women will never have to be afraid again.
