13 Yr Old Saudi Girl

[Bulldog1948]

When I finished reading this, it blew me away, that any country in the world could ever condone this type of cruel punishment. I wouldn't see how this poor child could even survive 7 lashes let alone 90 of them.

I didn't click the bottem link to the story, hopefully they did recind that punishment.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583440...test=latestnews

Oh my!! That is so cruel. Sadly there are many brutal punishments for little things like this in many countries and what makes this and other stories even sadder, is the fact that the leaders think these punishments are justified.

Well... it gets kids attention... but I do agree that it is a bit harsh

Hi Mike

I made your site address into a link for easier access, hope you don't mind.

Also that is just terrible, kinda like the middle ages meet the future. Appearantly there is nothing but a bunch of neanderthals over there. What a shame.

The Saudi's......

snort....

You know, when the country is a friend of the U.S. we tend to look the other way at their indescretions...

For instance 9/11......heck 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.....

So naturally we attack Iraq.......

And I'm sure that the U.S. will have no official condemnation of this barbaric act, either!

*sigh*

I remember a great military quote "Nuke em back to the stone age" .. BACK??

The sooner we break our dependence on oil and decide we want to all live in a modern equal world the better.. until then we have to put up with vile countries ruled by vile religions.

Jean, thank you for making it for quicker access, I don't have any problem with that. These "stoneage" people are the dregs of humanity as far as I'm concerned. In fact, they need to rethink "sleeping with camels"!!!

Hey Dee jay,

Yep, you are so right. As long as the US stays friends with the camels there will be no protest. The only real protest should come all the school kids in this country. They should jam the emails and tweets into hi-gear towards the Saudis, protesting this inhumane treatment of this young girl. Man, if we were going to beat a child to death, the worls would be up in total arms.

Yes, this "sheria law" may be mispelled. Is a stone-age invention. I feel that these religious polic are freaks themselves. They probably enjoy bondage,S&M, porn and the whole bit. One thing for ceretain, they love torture.

it makes me so angry. If I was that child's parent. I would not be living there and I would be telling them to get their dirty hands off my child

I notice that some of our older members are getting a little heated here, so let me just quell this early on:

Yes, there are many dominant classes in the Middle East that use their positions to oppress their people. It's been going on for thousands of years, and its very unfortunate. But do not lump all Saudis or all people of Middle Eastern decent into one category, saying things like, "Let's nuke 'em back to the stone age!" In case any of you forgot (or aren't familiar), there was this little thing called the Crusades that has stained the hands of the western world. What I'm trying to say is, don't throw stones if you live in glass houses.

As the thirteen year old girl was trying to express, not all people there are stuck in the past. Many have been trying for years to move forward. It is a group of elite that manages to rule forever that prevents the others from moving forward.
