JammieWearingFool has a great post out today on the Saudi Kingdom and their wonderful treatment of women, or not… 60 lashes for a female journalist – her crime? Being present when a Saudi man discussed sex on tv. Just being there was a crime for her even though she was not the one speaking on the subject. The man who was sentenced got five years and 1000 lashes. Must be how they get their rocks off over there… Barbaric sadism for all!!! No wonder the Saudis love Vegas…
Key excerpt:
A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show, in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex, and sentenced her to 60 lashes.
Rozanna al-Yami is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment. The charges against her included involvement in the preparation of the program and advertising the segment on the Internet.
Never fear though, by the time our government gets done with our media, we may be treated to the same ‘special’ sentences. After all, our so-called non-Muslim President is giving millions to a Muslim technology fund. Americans are facing record unemployment, destitution and starvation and our Dear Leader is giving millions to help Muslims and partying every weekend at the White House and Camp David. Any one else have a problem with this? Never mind all that – nothing to see here…
But in keeping with Ron over at JammieWearingFool, we want to cheer up the House of Saud, so here is our contribution. Ja sure! Not as buxom as Ron’s, so no clicking to enlarge… 🙂
I was a visiting professor at a private university in Riyadh 2008-2009 school year–prince sultan university. Four words summarizes my reply: The magic king-dumb sucks!
More detail: Saudis ARE sadists who really dislike non-arabs. I am 69 years old, PhD in Marketing, author of several books, well-known scholar and consultant, and I was treated badly. Well, that’s an understatement. When an egyptian prof of computer science beat me up in my office, one day after screaming at me, “Fuck you, fuck America, you piece of shit,” in front of 300 students at a final exam, the university did nothing, to my knowledge, except shut up the matter by getting me out of the country within 4 days. I don’t know if they fired the egyptian guy or not. I’ve written them, but they haven’t bother to answer me. Anybody else who has stories about life in the middle east, please contact me at [email protected]. I’m collecting them for a book about life in the magic king-dumb. — Donald Henderson, glad to be back home in the US
