well it seems like maybe she put herself in a bad situation. not that she should get punished or whatever, but she probably could have avoided it.

The 19-year-old victim was sentenced last year to 90 lashes for meeting with an unrelated male, a former friend from whom she was retrieving photographs. The seven rapists, who abducted the pair and raped both...

Arab culture is truly strange.

It's stories like this which give me a glimpse into past motivations for genocide.

How can you share a shrinking world with these freaks.

Yeah, cuz meeting somebody you've known most of your life, went to school with, and are getting back your photos from is a definite invitation to be raped.

The point here is that the Saudi court is punishing her for BEING RAPED. What part of that absolute violation of human rights (she is now receiving 200 lashes [getting whipped] and time in jail because the men in this case committed a crime) and complete injustice do you see as deserved? This is your friendly Islamic fundamentalist shari'a law at work. This is what people have been known to chalk up to "cultural differences." Inhumane and misogynistic does not even begin to cover it.

but did she lead them on or something? Get them excited? once you get a guy too excited he cant really stop

Oh. Please. You're either a troll or incredibly unintelligent. Rape is about power, not sex. Men can stop themselves. It's called will power and it's what intelligent beings are supposed to have evolved. Obviously, you don't fit into that category.

how is rape not about sex?

and i'm not saying all men, but some men are bad at controlling themselves. it'snot the woman's fault, just sometimes she's not helping

Come now, you aren't a man unless you can control yourself.

At the prison, I advised sex offenders to consider suicide if they had the urge to re-offend. That would be a final heroic act in a war with the self.

i'm not saying you SHOULDN'T control yourself, but women should know too that some guys don't. why flash a bunch of leg or whatever at a party? why go to some guy's house by yourself? just stupid behavior.
