being alone in a car with another man is a crime in Saudi Arabia.

(to Mod's - DO NOT MOVE)

Okay, this just sickens me.  Lots of women make st**id mistakes.  Cut across the dark parking lot to take a shortcut, accidently walk into a bad neighborhood, etc.  But what happened to personal responsibility.  Those men chose to rape her, whether she was there or not.  Its not like it was the man who was holding those photographs.  (Who btw, her attorney claims he was blackmailing the woman with)

This is a disgusting abuse of women.  We all here know its not in any way, shape or form Islamic.  You don't punish the victim for the crime.  And you don't double her punishment for daring to question the fairness of the judgment.

I feel so bad for this woman, hasn't she suffered enough for her poor choice.  Is beating her going to help?  And why are these men not on death row????
