Saudi Arabia to flog man 1,000 times for insulting religion on Facebook

[rightwinger]

Saudi Arabian rights activist reportedly flogged despite international outcry - CNN.com

 

[Mindful]

Raif raised his head towards the sky, closing his eyes and arching his back. He was silent, but you could tell from his face and his body that he was in real pain.

The officer beat Raif on his back and legs, counting the lashes until they reached 50.

The punishment took about 5 minutes. It was very quick, with no break in between lashes.

When it was over, the crowd shouted, ‘Allah-hu Akbar! Allah-hu Akbar!’”

Yes, Allah-hu Akbar, it is 2015, and a father of three can be sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes by a pious Muslim regime that will drag him in front of a crowd of its pious Muslim subjects to have him flogged publicly for the unspeakable crime of having tried to encourage political and social debate with his entirely reasonable, if rather restrained, writings.

Are there any Muslim leaders, any Muslim scholars, who consider this medieval barbarity an insult to Islam? Are there any sizeable Muslim grass root movements to protest against Saudi sadism – the regular public floggings, the beheadings on “Chop-chop square,” the absurd trials of witches – all of it justified as required by Islam?

Apparently not. Nothing that Muslims do in the name of Islam can be as insulting to their religion as the drawings of European cartoonists.

Muslim Mind Control...

Or, more accurately, taking it out on the Intelligent and Skeptical, when they dare to criticize the regime's (and the population's) level of spirituality...

So-called.

Bullying a Sheeple because he refuses to be a Sheeple.

Jesus-H-Tap-Dancing-Christ-on-a-Crutch, but these wankers are vicious, backwards little phukkers.

We will beat our religion into you

Todays flogging has been postponed because his wounds have not healed from last week.

It physically revolts me. Disgusting barbarians.

after 50 he is having health problems and his flogging is postponed......for the moment

 

[Syriusly]

What a barbaric punishment for just insulting a religion. Sounds like something from a horror movie.

Our country has been way to willing to look past the Saudi's human rights abuses because they are a strategic ally- sometimes.

When will we denounce Saudi Arabia as strongly as we denounce such abuses in Cuba?

In addition to what has happened to this poor man, let us not forget that they have also beheaded people there. And to make it even more revolting is that children are around to watch these beheadings amd floggings done. Can't they just do these things in private without an audience? Do they have to make a circus out of these punishments?

It’s unbelievable that this sort of thing still exists in this world. This clearly shows that the time for such a barbaric monarchy has passed. To punish someone for saying something against the monarchy is an insult to humanity.

It’s long past time for the Saudis to toss their barbaric and self-righteous and dangerously ignorant monarchy. They obviously are not fit to rule anything.

Right, and they think they are the creme de la creme of the Islamic faith.

Fifty, twice a year for ten years, Hell, beats beheading.

He should have thought this through.

Better question, when will we STFU and mind our own business?
