Shameless Saudi Arabia.

Being a woman in an Islamic state is not great, being one in Saudi Arabia is clearly a nightmare. When Sawsan Salim went to court to bring a case against two judges for years of sexual harrasment, a panel of judges, including the two against whom she was complaining, decided that there was no case to answer and because she had furthermore appeared in court without a male guardian she was the guilty party. Sentence; 300 lashes and 18 months in the slammer. Would there be much left of you to imprison after 300 lashes?
The misogyny and barbarism of Islam is something the West often chooses to ignore. It needs to be loudly denounced, stood up to and firmly put into the rubbish bin of history.
