Saudi Justice: 10 Years and 2,000 Lashes For Internet Video of Naked Dancing
An anonymous reader writes with a link to The Huffington Post, which reports "that a Saudi man was sentenced to 2,000 lashes and 10 years in prison for dancing naked on the roof of a car and posting the video online, according to multiple reports. Three other men were also sentenced to three to seven years in jail and hundreds of lashes each for the incident, Agence France-Presse reported, citing Arabic-language paper Al-Sharq. The four men were hit with a number of charges, including "encouraging vice" and violating public morality, according to the report. The prosecutor in the case, which was heard by a judge in Saudi Arabia's conservative Al-Qassem province, reportedly objected to the sentences for being "too lenient," Gulf News notes. The video was reportedly circulated widely on the Internet, but could not be found by The Huffington Post."
our postmodern liberal ideals dictate that it isn't up to us to judge their culture.
it's all good.
THL phish sticks
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Christian fanatics (mostly republicans) want for America as well.
Typical 'cut & paste' criticism. Acts 5:4 has:
And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God
You're wrong in that he was told to sell all his possessions. They willingly sold and donated to the community pot unlike the socialists that coerce with threats of violence or incarceration the redistribution of wealth. Acts 4:32 You miss the point that he committed blasphemy and paid the price for his insolence. You totally miss the point of the preceding 4 chapters of that book and even the 4 preceding books about calls to repentance for forgiveness and compassion.
Your problem with Christianity is with the repentance and changing from your evil ways requirements since you want to live like a devil and get heaven as a reward.
