A 19-year-old Saudi woman who was kidnapped, beaten and gang raped by seven men who then took photos of their victim and threatened to kill her, was sentenced under the country's Islamic-based law to 90 lashes for the "crime" of being alone with a man not related to her.

The woman is appealing to Saudi King Abdullah to intervene in the controversial case.

"I ask the king to consider me as one of his own daughters and have mercy on me and set me free from the 90 lashes," the woman said in an emotional interview published Monday in the Saudi Gazette.

"I was shocked at the verdict. I couldn't believe my ears. Ninety lashes! Ninety lashes!" the woman, identified only as "G," told the English-language newspaper.

Five months after the harsh judgment, her sentence has yet to be carried out, "G" said she waits in fear every day for the phone call telling her to submit to authorities to carry out her punishment.

Lashes are usually spread over several days. About 50 lashes are given at a time.

Liberals do not want an Islamic Country you fool.

Liberals want religious freedom as long as it doesn't infringe on the inherent rights of others.

Just like Liberals support the rights and freedoms of women.

And just like the Liberals support your bloody right to say any poorly thought out asinine thing that comes out of your tiny head.

These are people who are enforcing their religious beliefs within government....what exactly do you think it is that Conservative Christians are ramming down our throat all the time when they want to deny the rights of gays or a womans right to chose???? They are citing their religious morals and trying to use the government to impose them.

And I hate to break it to you honey, but many a crimes and atrocities have been committed against man and woman alike in the name of Jesus Christ (though, I, even though I am not Christian, tend to think those people kinda missed Jesus' point.)

Fake cronie conservatives should go back to the pits of hell where they originated from. Liberals are here to bring justice for the people that cant take justice into their own hands. And only evil people like to bring suffering to innocent people. The republican empire is crumbling and God is gonna send you through the misery that they have put on other people.Especially to hide the evil and deprive our society of the truth. I bet you republicans still think libby didnt do anything wrong. And I bet you think what ann coulter said was a joke and was not intentional.. At least she wrote a book with the complete description of the republican empire on her cover.But she definately mislead people saying it was liberals. But once again they use deception as a main weapon.

What would make you think liberals want that? Saudi Arabia is very close to the Bush family. They'll probably attend the lashing ceremony.

The last thing liberals want is for the country to be any kind of religious country. We want all religion out of government and in the churches where it belongs.

Promising Democracy, Imposing Theocracy: Gender-Based Violence and the US War on Iraq." That's the title of the ground breaking report being released today at the UN.
The announcement follows on the heels of two high-profile cases of Sunni women allegedly raped by Shiite security forces last month.

The report documents the systematic use of violence committed by Islamist militias against Iraqi women. Methods of violence include widespread honor killings, torture, assassination and rape. The report reveals the most extensive violence against women has been committed by Shiite militias armed, trained, and financed by the United States.

The author of the report is Yifat Susskind who is here in the studio with me. Also joining us is Houzan Mahmoud. She is the International Representative of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq. Welcome to Democracy Now!

Bush, Cheny, Rove, Rice and all Repugs deserve more than 90 lashes. We should exile you to Saudi Arabia to live with Bush's best friends.

Of course, because everyone knows that liberals are traditionally in favour of inequality for women and the inflexible enforcement of grotesque examples of corporal punishment like this.

No wait... that's conservatives, isn't it?

Moron.

These are religious conservatives in a theocratic nation that passed this ridiculous sentence and can be in no way attributed to a liberal position.

The conservatives are pushing for a theocracy in this country as well.

Religious people are truly scary.

First you need to site your source. Then you need to look up the definitions of Liberal and Conservative. Then when you have the information you truly need ASK A REAL QUESTION.

Yes, it is what I want!!!!! Conservatives deserve even worse.
We should make drugs legal. Prostitution legal. Abortion on demand. The government should take over big oil and lower gas prices. We should pull out of the middle east and admit we got what we deserved on 9/11.
