500 lashes for blasphemy.
Dec 7^th, 2011 at 7:05pm

Look at what Muslims do.

This is what lashes look like.
It is so barbaric & basically for doing nothing wrong.

Quote:

UPDATE 5.20pm: FOREIGN Minister Kevin Rudd has been called on to personally intervene on behalf of Mansor Almaribe, who was sentenced to 500 lashes in Saudi Arabia.

The Federal Government is "urgently'' seeking leniency for Mr Almaribe, 45, from Shepparton who was sentenced to a year in jail and 500 lashes in Saudi Arabia for religious offences.

The father-of-five was charged with blasphemy last month while participating in the Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca.

It has been reported he had been reading and praying in a group when accosted by religious police and arrested.

He was detained in the city of Medina on November 14.

The Shiite Muslim was initially sentenced to two years in jail and 500 lashes but then reduced the sentence to one year and 500 lashes.

Mr Almaribe is a constituent of Liberal MP Sharman Stone, who has called on Mr Rudd to intervene, and "even perhaps to remove the sentence altogether if that can be achieved", she said.

How can we stop this evil in our world?

Any excuse to be a whoosy. The only people more damaging to Islam than the Taliban and other Wahabi extremists are their apologists.

The caning you have posted is the British colonial-style caning used in former British colonies such as Singapore and Malaysia.

The Islamic flogging, used in Saudi Arabia, allows the criminal to wear clothing - there are cases where people in Saudi have worn leather jackets during the caning.

What you have shown is not a "Muslim" punishment.

Grey, the destruction to the capital Kabul shown in the videos was done by warlords in the early 1990's. These Western-backed warlords were not Taliban or Wahabis but sufis - whom idiots like you would probably refer to as "moderates".

Kabul was already destoyed by the time the Taliban rose to power in 1994.

That's wonderful news - have you got a nice video of a Saudi caning to prove it?

Oh God. This is just horrid! The poor guy! I hope Rudd is able to do something about this.

The whole thing just beggars belief!

Are they living in the bronze-age too? Because they certainly have a much better airport and public transport system than anything you find in Australia.

It is very clever of you to pretend that Western justice is not barbaric because they do not use floggings.

Let us all remember which society has used until recently electrocution as a punishment.

In Australian jails, strip searching is common practice. The Vietnam War protesters known as the Fairlea Five were strip-searched in prison by male guards.

The Fairlea Five.
This photograph shows the Fairlea Five reunited at the Anti-Vietnam War Moratorium 20th anniversary. From left to right they are Joan Coxsedge, Jean McLean, Chris Cathie, Jo Maclaine-Cross and Irene Miller.

‘Prison was hell’ screamed the headlines in Melbourne on 19 April 1971. ‘The five women released from prison yesterday all lost weight during their eleven days behind bars’.
http://vietnam-war.commemoration.gov.au/conscription/save-our-sons_fairlea-five.php

In April 1971 five SOS women were sentenced to 14 days in Fairlea Women’s Prison for handing out anti-conscription leaflets to men registering for national service. The charge was trespass.
