Once again I really have to wonder what kind of allies we have. Saudi Arabia, one of our alleged allies is a kingdom with a medieval justice system that would be seen as barbaric anywhere else in the world, yet we continue to call them our buds.
Today comes news that an elderly Syrian woman has been sentenced to 40 lashes...that's right "lashes" as in with a whip and deportation for having two unrelated men in her house.
Saudi Arabia is an example of fundamentalism run rampant! The Wahhabist justice system prohibits "mingling" something that would be considered a basic human right in any other civilized country. Yet, in Saudi Arabia, it can bring a woman a brutal whipping and imprisonment.
Of course if they didn't have OIL we would condemn them, but since we rely on the Saudi's to fuel our oil addiction we conveniently ignore their inhumane actions.
The faster we can become energy independent the better!
