I actually do support multi-culturalism, I was raised around many religions, jewish catholic,hindu, muslim, buddhists and protestants of all kinds (one grandfather was plymouth bretheren(theres a scary bunch)), ..... and have had friends from many different cultures/countries and I get a kick out of the differences as well as the similarities. Im not a big fan of fundamentalists or fanatics of ANY kind but I tend to take people on a person by person basis and not tar all with the same brush. I even know some nice french people[;)] But this just caught me wrong.... as a woman and as a humanist...........18 year old girl, raped 14 times, by 7 armed men, sentenced to 90 lashes, then having it more than doubled to 200 lashes for appealing it, and 6 months in jail. Other news reports have stated that even some Saudi's are shocked. The men who did the crime, were sentenced to between 2 and 9 years.... suprises me less because rape is sposed to be a beheading offence. Yes I hope their balls turn square and fester..... Yes I feel for the victim, no matter what the circumstances in this case. no matter where she is Lucy edited cos im a dork and cant spell
