All this talk about Islamo-facism, why don't the Americans fight it where it actually exists?

Americans are too weak to go against Saudi Arabia now. We need all the Muslims we can get on our side sadly. Its slowly eroding the moral integrity of the American people. Must we stand by and see injustice permeating throughout the world? Muslim or not?

Public opinion even in Saudi itself is outraged by this outcome, so I'm not ready to invade them yet.
You are right of course, in that the laws of Saudi are terribly oppressive to women and non-Muslims; and the laws are not enforced with anything like fairness.
By the way, the rape victim was punished for being alone with a man not her father, brother, husband, or son, not for being raped; and the rapists got much harsher sentences than she did, though not harsh enough in most people's opinions. In the US, if a rape victim was raped while committing a lesser crime (e.g. drugs) the police will be a lot more interested in catching the rapist than punishing the victim for her minor crime.
Anyway, however repugnant the Saudi legal system may be to us, their government is not committing acts of aggression or terrorism outside their country. We can't very well invade another country every time we see a miscarriage of justice inside it....
You are right, though, that the spirit of Islamo-fascism is alive and well inside Saudi Arabia. Most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis.
Political alliances don't always coincide with moral agreement, though. They have to be very pragmatic.

Saudi apologists are funny to me.
They approved of going after the secular - but still crazy - Saddam- who gave Christian Arabs and women more rights than in any other Arab country except for in Lebanon.
Hillarious. ITS ALL ABOUT OIL PEOPLE. Saudi Arabia serves no other purpose to the USA. They have worst record of human rights in the region.
Turned a blind eye terrorism
Do not allow women basic human rights
Islam is the only legal religion
Public beheadings
Restrictions on Media/Speech/Assembly...
USA MIDEAST POLICY IS TRASH...

Today many more askers posted this question.
It's a totally different society where women have no rights or justice. Women are always blamed and accused for any illegal sexual affairs that happen in that society. It's reprehensible but what to do about it.
We only have to take care that our society will never make a step back into those Middle Aged Manners.

Yes, our friends have flaws. Hopefully they will work to fix them. If they don't we can always kill them later. Don't be in such a rush.
