Saudi Rape Victim Tells Her Story

[nhboy]

"Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Justice is defending a sentence of 200 lashes for the victim of a gang rape, punished because she was in the car of a male who wasn't a relative when the two were attacked.

In exclusive testimony obtained by ABC News, the young woman told her story of what happened and how she was treated in the months that followed.

"Everyone looks at me as if I'm wrong. I couldn't even continue my studies. I wanted to die. I tried to commit suicide twice," she said of her experience just after the attack.

The woman, known anonymously in the Saudi press as "Qatif Girl" for the eastern province town where the crime took place, was originally sentenced to 90 lashes for being in a state of "khalwa" -- retreat with a male who's not a relative. "

That's typical of life in one of those third-world islamic ####holes.

Ooops... I mean the religion of peace.

Can a woman survive 200 lashes?? It would seem rather stupid to give them after she has passed out from the first dozen or so. Its certainly a barbaric sentence. I mean a dozen or so would certainly suffice I would think. She wont have any skin left.

You should really be more tolerant in your line of thinking Kyle. After all, Richard Cranium loves these people. You should too.
