I read with delight that a female journalist has been sentenced to 60 lashes over a TV show in which a Saudi man openly discussed his many extra-marital affairs (he got 1000 lashes and five years in prison):

Yet again the Saudis lead the way in re-establishing morality in the cesspot of vice that is the modern world. Hurrah; we are saved once again.
But surely this sentence is, if anything, too mild? For merely reporting such filth, the journalist should surely at least have had her eyes put out. And why not actually castrate the philandering beast who she deemed worthy of airtime? If there is one thing I am absolutely sure of, it is that God only intended us to have sex for purposes of procreation. Such a vile and unspeakable form of activity could have no other justification. I am tempted to write to the members of the House of Saud and urge them not to go soft; I can detect the sulphuric stench of Western liberalism at work here, and am deeply concerned lest this creeping corruption reach any further.
