Religion strikes again -well almost, until the King issued a pardon. No, this is not a mideval story, rather something that just happened today in stone aged Saudia Arabia.
The story goes that a female Saudi journalist was sentenced to 60 lashes for her role in some TV programming and the program material was deemed as sexual in nature. As we all know that God hates sex, the Saudi courts convicted the female journalist and sentenced her to 60 lashes. This news covered by Reuters and other news outlets. I just learned today, that now the Saudi King has pardoned the journalist. As Reuters reported, 'The flogging has been dropped'.
This is yet another ridiculous saga in long standing history of religious stupidity. Where does one even begin to comprehend this bullshit?
