[quote=Anonymous]I think there are many papalells to 18th Century Mass ( as in Salem). You know, the inhumanity and hypocricy of whipping someone right after you have just finished supposedly spritually renewing yourself ( the Saudi  whipping will be right after Fri prayers and done as a public spectacle).

What motivated the Puritans:

fear, ignorance, superstition, did I say fear, astounding levels of  ignorance.

I think in Salem, Mass. they put anyone who threatened the powers that be with stockages, accused them of witch craft.

Anyone who threatened them being the operative factor, of course.

The means were primitive ( stoning, burning at stake, tar and feathering, hanging)

but the means matched the tools of the day, and mindset of the day

So, what does it reveal about Saudi society that IN THE 21st Century, its public will turn out to froth at the mouth for  a human being being whipped to death in public. This, low level of base human behavior in an  age ( 400 years on, mind you)  where we have travelled to the moon, know full well that there are no "witches" and that the only evil is in the human heart.

Can we please turn our attention once and for all to solar and green energy and leave Saudi Arabi to evolve ( alone) . Maybe tehy will be ready to join the civilized world in 400 more years, give or take.

How sickening , and how unacceptable that we prop up their government[/quote]
