Tyranny in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s legal system is based on highly sadistic, crude and tyrannical ideas. To help them mask their atrocities, they claim that their legal system is merely their own interpretation of the Sharia. This mask in turn, makes two things possible. First, tyranny reigns freely without serious criticism by those who can, if not deluded, effectively put an end to all of this. Second, Islam gets attacked by people who rightly see the tyranny that persists in the country.
Let us consider the case of a rape victim who may possibly be given 100 lashes (In 2007, a female rape victim was given 200 lashes). Now, it may at first seem absurd that a rape victim is being handed out a punishment. Well, because it actually is absurd. No. it is wrong. Plain wrong and anyone who says otherwise…..
And it is because of this – the legal system in Saudi Arabia, that some people have just given up on the law institution in the country altogether. This include rape victims. I mean, why would anyone file for a criminal charge against their rapist if all they are going to end up with is a 100 lashes on the body, and a jail sentence too?
So what happens therefore, is that rape cases are simply just not being reported. This in turn, keeps the official statistics of rape counts, low. This then gives out to people in other countries, especially Muslims, the impression that the sharia as per the Saudi’s interpretation – which entails subjugating women – is indeed a good thing as evident from the low crime rates. But alas, all these may just be mere illusions.
