DS, I get your argument. I really do. She broke the law, there's no contesting that. But snidely asking how a young woman who has already endured the unimaginable rape and violence that she already has could have "avoided getting 90 lashes" is ridiculous. The punishment is outrageous and you know it. We're allowed to be outraged. I'm outraged any time I hear of injustice against women (or anyone) like this in any country, including ours. Is American society always fair? Absolutely not. But we don't immobilize and LASH people 90 to 200 times, either. It's barbaric there, here, now, 2000 years ago, I don't care, it's barbaric. NO justification.
ETA: And only because it's happened so often it's obviously not just a typo, it's THEIR
