13yr old Saudi girl-90 lashes and 2 months in prison for taking cell phone to school

[Jessiesgirl1108]

A teenage girl in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 90 lashes and two months in prison for taking a cell phone to school, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

The 13-year-old's punishment, harsher than that given to some robbers and looters, requires her to be flogged in front of her classmates, the Daily Mail quoted Saudi newspaper Al-Watan.

She was reportedly hiding a cell phone in class, breaking strict Saudi regulations banning their use in girls' schools.

Saudi Arabia is the world's leading country in the use of torture-by-flogging, and religious police keep a close watch over public behavior, the Mail reported.

In September, twenty Saudi teenagers who ransacked shops and restaurants were flogged in public.

I am not too surprised. What is she doing in school? Isn't she married off by now and has her clitoris removed? Is she not keeping her husband happy? She should appreciate still being in school.

I have to go with religion. They're all about being strict. I remember being in chuch once with a friend and we was goofing off a little bit. His dad took him in the back to a bathroom and busted his ass big time. We were only like 6 or 7. I felt to horrible and guilty because he got whipped like that. They were HUGE "Christians". Yes they helped people in need I have to say they were "good" in that way but why whip a kid that way? Save the rod, spoil the child or some horse shit like that.

Islam is a peaceful religion.

I propose this sort of treatment for people who talk/text during a movie. It seems just.
