And please don't say it is Bush's fault. I would have to remind you that the largest single donors to Clinton's library is the Saudi royal governing family (and we ain't talking a few dollars either - enough to run a small city).
A previous post - Their Kindness is Overwhelming (do read this before you continue).
with that in mind, consider the following:
Saudis arrested for flirting with women: Saudi Arabia began interrogating 57 men Saturday who were arrested for allegedly flirting with women. AP. Feb 23, 2008
Pleas for condemned Saudi 'witch': Illiterate woman detained by the religious police, forced to confess and sign a statement of guilt. One accuser, a man, said she made him impotent. Other accusers claimed she had bewitched them. BBC. Feb 14, 2008.
[bewitched them - a code word for - we are uncivilized pigs, Primitive, feckless, flagitious, scatalogically disposed, thersitical, ignorant, misogynistic, torpid cretins. Witchcraft. What fuck ups they are. There may well be wickens (spelling?) running around playing witch, but for grown-up people, we know there is no such thing as this medieval belief of witches and spells. Only imbecilic morons, and an imbecilic culture would accept such stupid ideas. If she were a witch, which do not exist in civilized cultures where we actually think and reason, she should cast a spell upon everyone of them, to drop dead and eat shit.]
A video of a CNN news bit about this woman and her plight
On November 2, Saudi Arabia executed Mustafa Ibrahim for sorcery in Riyadh. Ibrahim, an Egyptian working as a pharmacist in the northern town of `Ar’ar, was found guilty of having tried “through sorcery” to separate a married couple, according to a Ministry of Interior statement.
[He probably was in love or lust for the wife. magic - no. He probably made a stupid statement like 'I wish' ... and the woman probably loved him, given that her husband is like all the rest of the pigs in that culture ... he knew that all he needed to do was accuse the guy of witchcraft and he would be executed. Talk about getting away with murder.]
Islam protects that ignorant behavior, but does not cause it. Ignorant men who need to spend a few hours with Bubba in private, they cause it, they create it, they are the evil that men do in private. The punishment for the men should be - all of them, those good men of standing and high morals, all of them should be castration. Then the community should be told of their castration. In the West, we may frown upon such lenient sentences, but in Arabia, that form of punishment is more severe than chopping off their heads.
