Less than three months after Saudi Arabia said it would permit women to participate in the London 2012 Olympic Games, it has reportedly reneged on their agreement, barring women from entering the Games.

No surprise here. Saudi Arabia is not going to change when it comes to womens rights. We are talking about a country where if a woman is raped she often goes to prison and is whipped for the crime of tempting the rapist. I hope the Olympic Committee bans them from the games in London.

Generally rapists get the death penalty in Saudi Arabia and women go to the hospital..

Wrong, this is totally untrue. I have been a member of Human Rights Watch for 12 years. What you are saying is false. Women are sentenced to prison or receive lashes or both while the men typically get off scott free.

Its the same in Shia Iran. Only there women are hanged in the public square while the men go un punished.

Human rights watch rarely gets the facts right of any case in Saudi Arabia.

The woman who was lashed was out an about with a group of strange men at night.

No problem, there are many articles out there on different cases

Saudi Rape Victim Gets 200 Lashes - CBS News
SAUDI ARABIA Jeddah, gang-raped woman sentenced to prison, one hundred lashes - Asia News
Saudi Gazette - Girl gets a year in jail, 100 lashes for adultery

I was wrong the four men in the Qatif gang rape case were sentenced up to 10 years in prison. But the victim was also sentenced to prison and lashes.

I suggest you go to the following to research the atrocities commited against women by the legal systems of Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries. I was mistaken the men involved were sentenced to

OMG she was out at night with strange men. She deserved to be raped. Is this what you believe? Human Rights Watch does a fine job of researching and getting the truth out about atrocities around the world.
 
You don't understand the protocol for lashing... which is public shaming NOT a beating.

Further.. Human Rights Watch is lousy at following up on any story. Often as NOT some foreign national ... guest worker yells they are persecuted for being "Christians" when in fact, they were bootleggers.

Here is one from the UAE a Dubai court sentenced a young woman to prison for being gang raped.

DUBAI: Alleged victim of gang rape sentenced to one year in prison - latimes.com

Do you want more, I'll give you more. I could go on posting atrocities against women by courts in countries throughout the middle east all day. And its only going to get worse now that islamist groups are taking over countries whose dictators have been overthrown such as Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia, and soon Syria.

Her rapists were severely punished...

And she was breaking the law.

Human Rights Watch has been invited to Saudi Arabia repeatedly, but have never bothered to go.


Why don't you go on the ARAMCO Annuitants website and ask them.. Many lived and worked in Arabia for decades.

Right, do you often come to the defense of rapist and governments whose 7th century laws treat women as second class citizens? Check out this site Stop honour killings! | International Campaign Against Honour Killings

We have a person on this forum who has witnesed first hand atrocities against women by the governments of Islamic countries. I personally have spent much time researching this subject. You are an apologist of the systems who's antiquated Islamic laws are barbaric and backward.

wow...someone is actually defending the beating of women and persecuting Christians.
 
Why don't you actually LOOK UP the rights of women in Islam.....????

The men in Islamic nations have obviously seen women drivers in other countries like the United States.

They've realized it's wise to prevent women from getting in the driver's seat of a car.
 
Honor killing is rare to unheard of in the GCC countries.. and the killer gets the death penalty.

Why don't you actually LOOK UP the rights of women in Islam.....????

Saudi Arabia is a disgusting, filthy place...when it comes to womens' rights and the rights of religious minorities.

hell, you can't even build a Church or Synagogue in Saudi Arabia, as its against the law.

The killer of a young woman who was raped by a taxi driver in Iran spent less than a year in prison. The victim was hanged in a public square. In Lebenon family members who murder thier daughters and mothers do not spend any time in prison at all. In Iraq a woman was murderd by her father for talking to a british soilder. He was told by the local police that he did the right thing and he was not punished for this so called honour killing. Where have you been. You are in a serious state of denial or you chose to ignore the truth.

what would happen if I tried to build a Synagogue there?

what would happen if I displayed a Star of David?

Why would Jewish people WANT to live in Arabia?

They certainly don't like Arabs. So what would their reason be to be there?

I am a Jew, and I have several Arab friends. Some of them are even Muslim. One of them is a descendant of Muhammed.

.....so save your anti-Jewish stereotypes.

that's not the point.

Saudi Arabia should not discriminate against Jews or Christians, or any other non-Muslims.

you however, seem to think its okee dokee. and you justify it with anti-Jewish stereotypes.
