Saudi Girl Beaten, Shot Dead By Dad For Visiting 'Facebook'

Story here. Emphasis mine.

The case was reported on a Saudi Arabian news site as an example of the "strife" the social networking site is causing in the Islamic nation.

Blaming Facebook instead of the murderer? How evil.


A leading Saudi preacher told Al-Arabiya.net that Facebook was a "door to lust" for women and called for it to be blocked to prevent social "strife".

Blaming Facebook for a murder, for alleged "social strife". Hello! The father committed the evil act! Hello!


Saudi Arabia imposes an austere form of Sunni Islam which prevents unrelated men and women from mixing, bans women from driving and demands that women wear a headscarf and cloak in public.

“In Saudi Arabia, we live more of a virtual life than a real life. I know people who are involved in on-line romances with people they have never met in real life,” the woman said.

“And many of us use Facebook for other things, like talking about human rights and women's rights.


Talking online on Facebook about human rights and women's rights. Maybe that is the real reason for the regime's crackdown on Facebook and the liberties of women. Right... very bad, as far as the House of Saud and the hateful Wahhabists are concerned, to discuss human rights and women's equality... that'd be the end of the House of Saud and of totalitarian Islamic rule...

My, but what a nice country, eh? Oh, yeah. Pure Islamic dogma really is good for one, eh? Just don't violate the dogmae, else you'll be beaten and shot, Inshallah!

While the world condemns, or at least begins to do so, Communist China for its brutal intolerance, the world ought to also cast the eye of critical truth upon the monstrous Saudi regime.

We must fight evil, no matter where, no matter how... even if it's expensive to do so.
