Can you imagine if they did this in the United States?

The Saudi Justice Ministry Tuesday issued a “clarification” of a court’s handling of a rape case and the increased punishment — including 200 lashes –meted out to the victim.

The case, which has sparked media scrutiny of the Saudi legal system, centers on a married woman. The 19-year-old and an unrelated man were abducted, and she was raped by a group of seven men more than a year ago, according to Abdulrahman al-Lahim, the attorney who represented her in court.

The woman was originally sentenced in October 2006 to 90 lashes. But that sentence was more than doubled to 200 lashes and six months in prison by the Qatif General Court, because she spoke to the media about the case, a court source told Middle Eastern daily newspaper Arab News.

Can you imagine if our country started persecuting the victims?

    Same mind-set as the nuts who said 9/11 and Katrina were their god’s retribution for our so-called transgressions.

    In a ‘Lord of the Flies’ senerio, I’m sure Falwell, and the like, would do the same thing…

    I am sure that the theocracy over at the 700 club want to administer this type of justice to everyone.
