I received an email regarding a CNA article today.
The title was "Saudi woman activist furious at gang-rape ruling". Here is the link.

The news was disturbing to me. The woman was gang raped by seven men, then she was sentenced to six months jail term and 200 lashes. Does it make any sense to you?It may be their culture or tradition but we have evolved and should adapt to the modern world. Their older doctrine was probably written when man's mode of transport was by feet and he will be pulling along a donkey carrying firewood and supplies for trading.

Its ridiculous and I can only feel sorry for the women in Saudi. I do not intend to start a religious debate here so I shall end my post here.
