RIYADH - A Saudi woman who was kidnapped at knifepoint, gang-raped and then beaten by her brother has been sentenced to 90 lashes -- for meeting a man who was not a relative, a newspaper reported on Monday.

In an interview with the Saudi Gazette, the 19-year-old said she was blackmailed a year ago into meeting a man who threatened to tell her family they were having a relationship outside wedlock, which is illegal in the ultra-conservative desert kingdom.

After driving off together from a shopping mall near her home, the woman and the man were stopped and abducted by a gang of men wielding kitchen knives who took them to a farm where she was raped 14 times by her captors.

Five men were arrested for the rape and given jail terms ranging from 10 months to five years by a panel of judges in the eastern city of Qatif, near the woman’s hometown.

But the judges also decided to sentence the woman, identified by the newspaper only as ‘G,’ and the man to lashes for being alone together in the car.

Unrelated men and women are forbidden from interacting in public in Saudi Arabia, which strictly enforces Islamic Sharia law.


She only got gang-raped followed by 90 lashes? Allah is truly a benevolent and merciful God.

We hear about honor killings, rapes, and stonings of disobedient women at the hands of radical Muslim men on a regular basis, yet America's feminists and democrats remain tellingly silent. Their silence proves that their hatred of the subjugation of women by Islam is exceeded by their hatred of George Bush. They won't stand up against the virtual enslavement of women by Islam because it would mean coming too close to siding with Bush.

Gutless, pathetic liberals...I swear!
