I don't understand this and, quite frankly, I don't care if it's a cultural thing or not http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/11/17/saudi.rape.victim/index.html. How can this be OK?

For those having trouble with URL, its about : ---------- http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/11/17/saudi.rape.victim/index.html "Saudi court ups punishment for gang-rape victim. The 19-year-old victim was sentenced last year to 90 lashes for meeting with an unrelated male, a former friend from whom she was retrieving photographs. The seven rapists, who abducted the pair and raped both, received sentences ranging from 10 months to five years in prison." --------------- In todays society, from a western perspective, its not ok. However, it is based on thousands of years of tradition, and will take time to 'swing the boat around' to a more social just society.

It isn't. Saudi Arabia's "justice" system is warped. Maybe that makes me intolerant but sorry I can't help being intolerant of decisions like these.

It is obscene and you are perfectly justified in not understanding.
