In Praise Of The Glorious House Of Saud

entry picture

 

Vile parasites.

Your golden,oily skins

oozing with excess.

Drunk in your dry kingdom.


Saud lechers mawling

voiceless, voteless beauties

who may not drive

or leave their homes

without the right man.


This land you stole

in the name of vile Wahhab

bleeds daily.

The blood of lopped limbs,

mingles with the blood

of heads rolling beneath

the sword.

The only voice to be heard

is the scream of the tortured.


Your palm is greased by armourers

that you might intimidate

the better with your might.

Your guns and your courts

imprison all other than you.


You steal, but keep your hands and feet.

You fornicate yet keep your head

and the skin on your back.

You are drunk in your dry kingdom.


Height of your glory,

you flog and jail a

teenaged woman

for being gang raped

by the fine young men

of your pure, religious paradise.


Of course she deserves her punishment.

The harlot traveled in a car

with a man unrelated to her.

How just it was in the name of

Allah, the merciful,

that she should have 200 lashes


Surely your achievements

will echo through the ages of history.

Your prowess shadows all.

None but you Abdullah,

and your ten thousand spawn,

could have made the satan Bush

no more than a naughty boy

a little out of hand.


In a shocking verdict, a Saudi Court ordered a gang rape victim to undergo 200 lashes and six months in prison for "being in the car of an unrelated male" when the crime was committed.

The 19-year-old victim was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes by judges from the Qatif General Court, but the case was referred back to an Appeals Court after her lawyer had urged a harsher punishment for assaulters, the Arab News reported.

A source at the Qatif General Court said the judges had informed the rape victim that the reason behind doubling her punishment was "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media", the report added.

Saudi Arabia enforces a strict Islamic doctrine known as Wahhabism and forbids unrelated men and women from associating with each other, bans women from driving and forces them to cover head-to-toe in public.

Well said, in todays world it beggars belief how such practices go on in some countries and religions, when the perpetrators do whatever they want, I don't know how they sleep at night, well written, Jeff

Thanks for the comments folks. A couple of times I have been in a hotel in Bahrain when rich Saudis have been driven across in their Mercedes. They drink alcohol, ostentatiously socialise with dancing girls and occasionally disappear for a while with Russian prostitutes. At the end of the evening they are driven back across the causeway to play their part in the disgusting oppression of the Saudi government.

There are plenty of cruel and illegitimate governments in the world. What makes this one stand out especially to me is the craven complicity of western governments in accepting it as an ally due to its oil wealth.

Despite Wahabbism being the root of Al Quaida and Saudi Arabia financing propagation of this revolting cult throughout the world the British government sucks up to it as in the case of British Aerospace and the USA stays close to it while pursuing poorer zealots of the same ilk in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

We should end double standards. The people, and especially the women, of Saudi Arabia have suffered enough.

Hi Malpoet,
Tell it like it is why don't you! It's sad to see this world corrupted in all kinds of ways, money, power, religion, politics - to name but a few. perhaps, as "The Walrus" said, "The time has come . . ."
Regards,
A.E.

Well said. It's funny how quiet the western governments are about human rights abuses when the victims are merely women who belong to a nation that is bloated with oil don't you think?

Poetic but still a strong punchy journalistic feel.
Well done.
