I just saw this on Drudge and confirmed it with Sabra, who lives in the giant sandbox of Saudi- some fat 13 year old girl who took a camera-capable cell phone into class is going to get 90 lashes. Oh the Saudi government, who practices Islamic Sharia law, will say that she has to be beaten in front of all of her other 7th grade classmates because she smuggled in a cellphone, but I know why she is being whipped more times than most common Saudi thieves- She’s a fat pig. A skinnier chick in a smaller size abaya would get only 10 lashes. Below is what 50 lashes does to a woman.

Sabra says something else must have gone on with this girl, but I wonder if its just because she was making provocative western poses?

Say what? A 13-year-old girl has been sentenced to 90 lashes and two months of prison? For what?! Bringing her cell phone to school!!! This is insane. I mean, what else can you call it?

This – a punishment like that – in a country where every single person is glued to their mobile phone 24/7/365?! Go to a bank – men are talking on their mobiles. Go to a shop – men are talking on their mobiles. Go to the Commissary – girls are talking on their mobiles. My gosh, if you took mobiles away from everyone over here there would be such withdrawal that this place would come to a standstill!

I know Saudi Arabia is strict and that its judicial system is swift but I cannot recall a 13-year-old – certainly never a 13-year-old GIRL – receiving such a punishment for something as innocuous as taking her mobile to school in the entire seven years that we’ve been here. Heck, grown men have committed much more serious crimes and even they are not punished as severely.

Well, she shouldn’t be so fat. Way to go Saudis! Slap a giant bumper sticker across your desert wasteland that says No Fat Chicks!
