Rape victim sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail
Salaam
A judge in Saudi Arabia has ordered a victim of gang rape to receive 200 lashes - more than double her original sentence for being alone with a man who was not a relative - after she appealed against the lenient sentences given to the men who attacked her. He also jailed her for six months
The 21-year-old woman, who was 19 at the time of the attack and is known by the Saudi media as "the girl from Qatif", was raped 14 times by a gang of seven. Although her attackers were found guilty and sentenced to between 10 months and five years last year, she was simultaneously sentenced to 90 lashes as punishment for riding in a car with a man who was not a relative
By appealing against this decision, the judge ruled on Wednesday, she was attempting to "aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media".

Yes, but surely the person gettin run over is to blame for being an idiot?
Did i say he was blameless?

That was a rubbish example anyway.
Men need to be able to control their feelings no matter what someone is wearing. And women should be careful not to dress in an overtly provocative way. In all seriousness I don't think many girls, especially young girls, actually understand how strong an effect they have on men so they cannot be blamed for that.

I dont understand how some guys can manage such high levels of self control i.e. not even look at the face of a girl that their talking to....whilst others find inneundo's in even the most innocent of converstions.
I think it IS their fault if they cant control themselves - it all depends on what they expose themselves to on a daily basis.
