SAUDI ARABIA: PRIMITIVE, BACKWARD, BARBARIC, OPPRESSIVE, MISOGYNISTIC.

Kirk Walters cartoon

Saudi Arabia is indeed a barbaric, backward country.

This woman and her escort, an unrelated male, were both gang-raped by a group of perverts. The rapists were given rather light sentences, but the woman was sentenced to 90 lashes. She appealed that her punishment was inappropriate.

The Saudi court responded that of course she was correct, and adjusted the sentence to include six months in jail. After all, she was escorted by an unrelated male; clearly she brought the rape upon herself.

Primitive. Backward. Barbaric. Oppressive. Misogynistic.
