Being punished for being raped

So I was looking at some religious stories on the web and I came upon a story so ridiculous I had to blog about it. So apparently in Saudi Arabia, a 19-year old girl was given a jail sentence and 200 lashes from a whip because she was a victim of gang rape. When I first read this story i thought it was a joke but it is indeed a true story. Can you image what kind of effect a ruling like that would have in America. If a young lady was gang raped and instead she was punished America would be flipped upside down. The judges said the reason for the harsh punishment was “her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media.” Its funny because in America, it is a known fact that the media always gets itself involved. I fell bad for the girl, i guess there is a law in Saudi Arabia that says a woman cannot be with any male beside a male relative. Imagine how hard it would be to pick up a girl on the streets?! I dont know but ths story is pretty damn ridiculous and i feel really bad for the girl. Can you imagine getting hit by one of these 200 times...
OUCHHHH~~!!!
