A Saudi Arabian blogger has been publicly flogged after being convicted of cybercrime and insulting Islam, reports say.

Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes and 10 years in jail, was flogged 50 times. The flogging will be carried out weekly, campaigners say.

Mr Badawi, the co-founder of a now banned website called the Liberal Saudi Network, was arrested in 2012.

This is Sharia, get used to it.
 
It's not like he didn't know what he was doing was going to end badly for him.
 
I think they are all idiots but that's just me. He knew what he was doing and if that is the laws of his town then that is what he will get. It sucks but he knew the costs and the risks if he got caught.
 
Whipping on the back with something akin to a long wooden stick.

Sometimes the victim is standing, tied to a wall or a pole.

This is also the place that throws women in prison for driving a car as a "Crime against Islam".

Isn't Saudi Arabia also the place that helped finance a good chunk of 9/11 as well? :|

Bin Laden was from a wealthy Saudi Family

Thought so....can we just go ahead and nuke Saudi Arabia from orbit and rid the world of that festering sore of a country?
