Usually used in islamicc punishement ? I heard before got flogged 200 times and she was still alive ! Also I heard a teen girl got flogged 70 times and she died , she got flogged with a bamboo cane ! So I wonder what type of whips shall be used so the islamic punishement is not void !!!

I aslo heard that if a women coMmits sex outside marriage she got whipped 100 times ! So what if she commits sex over than 6 times ? And what also about foreplay ?
I heard about smth called tazeer punishement as well !!!

Which leads me to wonder how often this happens to Saudi citizens.

What would the US do if this happened to a US citizen.

(Could Australia ask for US help under ANZUS or other treaties?)

And what will the UN do?

Is this another Jesse Jackson moment?

Is there someone who can go to the Saudi Religous Fascists and say, nah, that’s not a last, THIS is a lash.

Torquemada would have suffered the same fate had he not maintained an army of bodyguards. Even so, after Torquemada’s death, his tomb was ransacked and his bones desecrated.

Still 500 would make him an invalid if nothing else. Any idea what horrible insult he is accused of making?

Now the Royal Navy used a cat-o-nine-tails & had a punishment called “flogging through the fleet” in which you were tied to a row boat & rowed around past all the other ships while being flogged – it lasted as long as it took to row around the entire fleet so it was a death sentence.

The prison sentence will finish what ever’s left. He’d be better committing suicide.

Unlike Texas their higher courts have a tendency to reduce these ridiculous things to something less draconian.

I never understood why an all powerful being would need our puny protection from the thoughts or words of other puny beings. If your cosmic muffin is all powerful the mere words of some mortal can not hurt it.
