A thousand lashes and 10 years in prison for online Saudi Arabian activist
Amnesty International is calling on Saudi Arabia’s authorities to quash the outrageous sentencing today of Raif Badawi in connection with an online forum for public debate he set up and accusations that he insulted Islam.
Raif Badawi, co-founder of the “Saudi Arabian Liberals” website, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, 1,000 lashes and a fine of 1 million Saudi riyals (about US$266,631) by Jeddah’s Criminal Court.

You mispoke.
We weren't spreading it through ALL of the middle east. We expressly skipped Saudi Arabia.

Sorry to let you down WGM but if we could just go fight a war and have bombed that shit hole part of the world completely flat leaving nothing breathing perhaps we could make some Real Change as Obama likes to say, especially when it comes to fundamental Islam.
And what T>1200 said, we skipped Saudi Arabia because their our allies, how the fuck we have them as allies is beyond me.

We prefer to keep you Canucks on the sidelines since this little fiasco. You guys lack impulse control.

Kind of proud that my country's last military shame was 21 years ago.
With friends like this, who needs enemies.

If the military would have had another $10t, they could have gotten shit done!
