Saudi Arabia's Just Courts:
from MEMRI

Q: "Then why do we usually hear about unusually severe punishments rendered by the Saudi courts?"

A: "Severity is relative. And unusual judgments can be found anywhere. In the UK for example, or in the U.S., the newspapers are full of such judgments. But they remain atypical. So is the case in Saudi Arabia. You never hear about 99% of cases, you only hear about the odd unusual one."

Yup. Severity is relative. I guess when you are beaten or attacked consistently, it seems less severe. right? did i get that?

The article also states that the saudi system is better because the saudi judges are fully accountable to god. hmmm. i think i'll just take western justice. i think i'll keep stick with our "imperfect justice" where i can keep my hands, dignity, various limbs, life and not have to deal with torture, beatings, random attacks, racism, xenophobia and jingoism.
