Saudi official jailed 25 years, to get 2000 lashes

Another example of Wahhabi Islam in action.  A 2,000 lash sentence is a virtual death sentence, even if given in three sessions.  That's 667 lashes per session.  I don't think anyone has ever survived so many. 

Remember folks, this is the form of Islam the Saudis are planning to impose on America, the West and the rest of the world through the introduction of thousands of Mosques and community centers staffed by Saudi trained Waahabi fanatics.

Saudi official jailed 25 years, to get 2000 lashes

Man convicted of staging “unethical parties” at government department

A Saudi official appears to have paid a heavy price for staging “unethical parties” at his department, with a court in the Gulf Kingdom sentencing him to 25 years in jail and ordering him lashed 2,000 times in public.

The unnamed head of the government office in the southern town of Baha was also convicted of taking drugs, extortion of other officials and involvement in sodomy.

Newspapers said the court also fined the official SR200,000 and banned him from travelling outside Saudi Arabia during that period.

“He will be lashed in three batches after Friday’s prayers at the place where he committed his crimes in front of people,” Alsaudeh daily said.

It said the court also sentenced his aide to 15 years in jail, 1,500 lashes and travel ban, adding that the judge issued a recommendation the two would not benefit from any future pardon. The paper described it as a reduced sentence as the prosecutor had demanded the death penalty against the two.

“The two were found guilty of engaging in obscene acts, including staging unethical parties, using drugs and extorting other officials. They had also invited officials and other people to practice sodomy,” it said.
