- nihil, on 02/07/2008, -43/+470Muslims get all bent out of shape when a picture of Mohammed is on Wikipedia, yet we're expected to tolerate their "dark ages" practices with nary a peep? Take a few steps into the 21st century, you barbarians.
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -6/+310It wasn't actually for going to Starbucks. It was for sitting with men she was unrelated to. I think that's even worse.
- VeryBoredNow, on 02/07/2008, -2/+235Some places in the world just need to be left alone. I wouldn't even go to Saudi Arabia, not even for business.. and I am a muslim male.
- haterofps3, on 02/07/2008, -14/+155Its hard not to hate and judge another culture that has no problem hating and judging us!
When the modern world switches away from oil products how long do you think before we stop giving a ***** what the Muslims think? Tech Support? - Fallout911, on 02/07/2008, -101/+238This is why all religions suck.
- JeffS, on 02/07/2008, -12/+146My dog is more intelligent than these Saudi "police"
- baalzebub, on 02/07/2008, -40/+157Those whacky mooslums...
- Hortnon, on 02/07/2008, -13/+116*Radical believers in religions suck
- navster15, on 02/07/2008, -6/+109I do wish to remind everyone that Saudi Arabia maintains this insane status quo due to the corrupt royal family remaining in power because of American support. As long as the royals play nice and provide a stable source of oil and support American military policies in the region, they can continue their barbarous traditions with little impediment.
There are Muslim majority nations that can function well in modern society (Turkey is a good example), but as long as there is the destabilizing influence of oil, the corrupt theocrats in the Middle East are able continue their insanity. - Manhigh, on 02/07/2008, -4/+90Oh...good catch. She had it coming, obviously.
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -9/+91This is insanity. FTA:
“Some men came up to us with very long beards and white dresses. They asked ‘Why are you here together?'. I explained about the power being out in our office. They got very angry and told me what I was doing was a great sin,” recalled Yara, who wears an abaya and headscarf, like most Saudi women. - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/07/2008, -1/+68Yeah, how DARE she be seen inside a shop working on her laptop with MEN who work with her in an office building! What a harlot!
- jonbruc, on 02/07/2008, -1/+67...And that's why people shouldn't go to Saudi Arabia.
- turbopro, on 02/07/2008, -7/+73Oh well ***** me, if thats the case burn her at the stake!

Buried, blocked and reported. - inactive, on 02/07/2008, -8/+64Only "cultures" such as Mao's China, Stalin's USSR and the like need to have thought police, because they cannot stand on their own merits. These "police" and the jihadists are but different faces of the same rabid animal, completely mired in the 7th Century barbarism. Take away their oil revenues and watch how quickly these societies lose even the pretense of civilization.
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -6/+60vacuums?
- purag66, on 05/13/2009, -5/+59You assume he's Christian or a Jew. Whose being an idiot now? Is the only way to defend Islam by attacking some other religion and trying to point out its flaws?
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -2/+56Clearly. Should have read the article. I understand now. She certainly was not "minding her own business" she was engaged in the highly illegal and unethical act of being near a man. Thank you so much for clearing that up for us. I thought she was innocent, but clearly she is a horrible person who should be in jail.
- joshhan, on 02/07/2008, -0/+53Save that one for last. That might be the last thing that you do before you die.
- Asrrin29, on 02/07/2008, -1/+53Listen to this man! Saudi Arabia has more barbaric social practices then even Iran does! Women get better treatment in one of our so called enemy's counties then in our own allies.
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -27/+75your blanket generalizations enlighten me....................tell me..........what else sucks
- aduzik, on 02/07/2008, -0/+42And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Thomas Jefferson wrote about the need for a "wall of separation between church and state."
- bobzorz, on 02/07/2008, -16/+58I know I'll probably be buried into oblivion but believe me when I say the Saudi Wahabbi interpretation of Islam is not representative of all Muslims. So before everyone overreacts (already too late, I know) just calm down and realize that a small proportion of people aren't representative of the whole.
- Danial, on 02/07/2008, -1/+40Preach on brother! (I'm also a Muslim male and agree with you)
- Sherman901, on 02/07/2008, -0/+38well now, i can understand. damn these sensationalist headlines
- purag66, on 05/13/2009, -6/+40There's nothing new here. I just don't get why we're gonna sell these barbarians weapons.
- haterofps3, on 02/07/2008, -0/+33So an American woman gets beaten or degraded and this is propaganda? RTA buddy if she didn't have contacts and a husband she could have been jailed for years just because she was sitting in a starbucks with men. If that doesn't sound retarded to you then maybe you are a retard yourself!
- tehxen3, on 02/07/2008, -8/+37If this was a story about something that happened in a christian country diggers would say religion sucks and digg themselves up in a cyber orgy.
- petewhite, on 02/07/2008, -2/+31This is exactly the sort of bull crap the Arch Bishop of Canterbury has been talking about implementing in the UK today. Its absurd!!!
- Lnx991, on 02/07/2008, -2/+31"Go cross dressing in a Muslim nation" has just been added to my list of things to do before I die.
- Zemenar, on 02/07/2008, -5/+32Title is misleading! I thought she was jailed and decided to go to Starbucks to celebrate..
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -1/+28Nice choice of allies we have there.
- bxblox, on 02/07/2008, -2/+29Our tech support is mostly in india...
- mandarin, on 02/07/2008, -6/+33Easy, stop doing business with Saudi Arabia. Stop using oil.
- theskyisblue, on 02/07/2008, -6/+32stop pulling the "this isn't representative of the whole" *****... if your organization does messed up *****, don't support it by associating yourself with it. the guy who doesn't do anything bad and says "i'm a peaceful *insert religion here* " is just as stupid as the guy who's killing people and throwing women in jail for being outside the house. you are just as big of an ***** as the "extremists" by associating with them and giving them support in that sense.
- norman619, on 02/07/2008, -29/+55"The joys of the Muslim Sharia Law. An American businesswoman jailed in Saudi - for going to STARBUCKS!!!! "
Sorry this isn't true. The article tells you the real reason for her arrest. It was not for going to starbucks. This is so misleading.
FTA: "A 37-year-old American businesswoman and married mother of three is seeking justice after she was thrown in jail by Saudi Arabia's religious police for sitting with a male colleague at a Starbucks coffee shop in Riyadh." - nekochan, on 02/07/2008, -0/+25black holes.
see? i read bash too. - ronpaul20008, on 02/07/2008, -4/+28these are bush's buddies who we just sold 20 billion in weapons too(weren't most of the alleged 9/11 hijackers Saudi?)... we're supporting & spreading democracy throughout the world..iraq must be happy democracy is on it's way.. oh yeah, bush said.. if you were iraqi, you'd be saying thank god for freedom..
- LongShlong, on 02/07/2008, -17/+40Starbucks sucks.
- MasterThief117, on 02/07/2008, -4/+27She was in Starbucks? Wow, I feel bad for her already.
- BigBallistix, on 02/07/2008, -2/+24I'm planning to go to Saudi actually, you can get several nubile-slave wives for the price of an 80Gb PS3. The girls wouldn't be PAL version either lol.
/sarcasm - crazybugger, on 02/07/2008, -9/+31I remember the movie "Idiocracy."
- flashingcurser, on 02/07/2008, -0/+22Does NR. 2 mean the second commandment? If it does, I'm not sure how that relates to the nihil's post.
Muslims often complain about Christians using the cross as a "graven image". I wonder how the crescent and star are much different? Do the laws of Moses only apply to Jews and Christians? Isn't Moses one of the 5 prophets of Islam? - DreKor, on 02/07/2008, -29/+51So, if I complain that I don't like how middle easterners are treated in the USA I'm told, "If you don't like it, GTFO." But, if neocons complain about how Americans are treated in the middle east they're told, "rock on, ***** those towel heads."
Double standard much? - bhrgero, on 02/07/2008, -1/+23what about your once in a lifetime trip to Mecca? just curious. (no offence intended, just thought its somehow on the must-do-or-else-list for a muslim)
- theskyisblue, on 02/07/2008, -5/+26sorry but, according to saudi practices (including the one we see here)... they can't be considered a civilization, not even by a long shot. end.
- Brad324, on 02/07/2008, -7/+28How dare that whore try to spend $6 on a coffee? She can drink the $.89 coffee like the rest of the inferior beings.
- purag66, on 05/13/2009, -1/+22When an American citizen is subjected to this *****, it becomes personal. We are attacking the Saudi government here on Digg, and if you've been here long enough you'll also realize that Diggers are not kind to the American government either. STOP TRYING TO COUNTER-ATTACK the American government but start defending the Saudis, if you have the balls. At least then you'll be a courageous idiot.
- TopherT, on 02/07/2008, -4/+25Yes Christianity is full of wacky *****, but at least the western version no longer ACTUALLY advocates stoning to death for adultery, ignoring your parents, etc. At least the Muslim world seems to have the force of their idiotic convictions. Western religion is wishy washy in its fakery. Of course the whole setup is *****, but hey I represent less than 5% of the world population, so I must be crazy right?
