An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
From the UK Independent:
A Saudi Arabian man has been sentenced to three years in jail and 450 lashes after he was caught using Twitter to arrange dates with other men.
The 24-year-old man who has not been named, was given his sentence after the court in Medina, Saudi Arabia, found him guilty of “promoting the vice and practice of homosexuality.”
According to a report in the daily Arabic newspaper Al-Watan, the man was arrested following an entrapment ploy by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (CPVPV).
In Saudi Arabia, like most of the Middle East, homosexuality is a taboo and can result in harsh punishments if someone is found guilty.
By law, any married man found engaging in sodomy or any non-Muslim who commits sodomy with a Muslim can be stoned to death.
Other punishments to be handed out to those found guilty of homosexuality include chemical castrations, imprisonment and execution.
