Tiny Violins

The Saudis can't quite understand why their propaganda blitz in anticipation of the annual OPEC cartel meetings hasn't made uncomfortable facts disappear.

The most recent of the uncomfortable facts?

Well, it is that their justice system just sentenced a a female rape victim to receive 200 lashes because she spoke out against the brutality of the earlier imposed sentence of 90 lashes for being a rape victim who happened to be caught in a vehicle with someone who was not a male relative.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the more people become aware of the misogyny, hatred, venom, and anti Semitism in the Saudi kingdom (and the rest of the Islamist world) the better.
