Marty Roberts: Staying Real in Israel
"The Marty Roberts Show"

NOT in Saudi Arabia, I must say…
At least the punishment fits the crime…NOT! How dare a female human being move about freely in Saudi Arabia WITHOUT a male escort. Horrendous!! Immoral!! Lascivious!! She should be happy that she is only being horsewhipped and thrown in jail and not beheaded…
BTW, where are those feminist groups now, when we need them? Moral relativism even amongst feminists????

Unchaperoned woman to get 300 lashes


A SAUDI woman’s to get 300 lashings and 18 months’ prison for filing complaints against court officials and being in court without a male guardian

Reprinted from Heraldsun.com.au

A human rights group said today Sawsan Salim was convicted last month in a court in Rass, in Qassim province, after petitioning officials in the kingdom’s capital Riyadh.

The petition included King Abdullah over what she alleged was years of abuse by local justice officials, the US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a statement.

Despite her request for intervention, two local judges charged her with filing 118 “spurious complaints” against officials, including the judges themselves, and “appearing … without a male guardian” between 2004 and 2008.

On January 25, she was convicted after a month-long trial before two judges, one of whom was a plaintiff in the case and the original target of Salim’s harassment allegations, according to HRW.

The group called for higher authorities to quash the verdict.

Salim alleges that ever since she rejected local judge Habib Abdullah al Aqsa’s repeated urging to divorce her husband, who was jailed over debts, in 2004, that judge and other officials continually created trouble for her.

On numerous occasions through 2008, HRW said, officials “chided Salim for not being accompanied by a male guardian during her visits to their offices.”

Under Saudi Arabia’s ultra-strict version of Islam, women are not supposed to move around outside the home without a male guardian.

Salim and her lawyer petitioned top officials several times over the years of harassment.

“She owns a business, and they were making things very difficult for her,” said Nadya Khalife, an HRW women’s rights researcher for the Middle East.

“She didn’t keep things quiet.”

Two local judges, including Aqsa, countered with their own accusations and their case went to trial in December, resulting in the conviction. Aqsa was one of the judges appointed to try the case.

“In Saudi Arabia, being a woman going about her legitimate business without a man’s protection is apparently a crime,” Khalife said.

I guess money talks…or, more likely, European arms dealers are more than happy to see Israel’s enemies get stronger and stronger. The Saudis are not exactly friends of the Jewish State, although they often masquerade as such when it suits their interests in wooing the United states. Good thing Israel has G-d in her corner…

Are the so-called “human rights” groups in the Western World, especially America, afraid to speak out about women’s rights in Muslim countries? Maybe they just don’t consider women as “human” enough?

I really don’t get it…
