Saudi government flogs Australian man for his wife's crimes.
Melbourne man Robert Thomas jailed in Saudi Arabia for a crime his wife is accused of committing, has received 300 strokes of the cane across his bare back.  

Mr Thomas, 56, and his Filipino wife Lorna were both sentenced to 18 months prison and 300 lashes after she refused to admit to the crime.

Under medieval Saudi law, if a person found guilty of a crime does not confess, anyone connected with them is "guilty by association" and  receives the same sentence.

Saudi Arabia is a corrupt, despotic regime administering barbaric Muslim Sharia law. The feared religious police - the Mattawa - roam freely administering punishment for anyone accused of breaking the strict religious laws that particularly subjugate women.

 

Saudi Arabia sponsors spread of Islam in Australia 

The Saudi government is actively fostering the spread of Islam in Australia. From its original donation of $320,000 to build the Lakemba mosque in NSW it has reportedly donated more than $100 million to build mosques and Islamic schools and colleges for Australia's 500,000 Muslims.

What does Saudi Arabia expect in return for this largesse? Many of the most radical proponents of a world Islamic state are Saudis . Osama bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia. Fifteen of the September 11 terrorists were Saudis.

There is considerable evidence that Saudi oil billionaires are channelling funds to militant Muslim groups. Every time you fill your car with petrol you make a donation to the spread of Islam. Are we financing our own destruction?

There is a lot of talk suggesting America's intervention in Iraq is all about controlling oil supplies.

So what?

The US would do the world a giant favour by freeing up oil supplies. The majority of world oil supplies is controlled by OPEC (the Organisation of Oil Exporting Countries), the world's most pernicious cartel. Dominated by Saudi Arabia and other Arab Muslim countries this evil organisation has been sucking the wealth out of the Western world and bankrupting third world countries for the past thirty years. 

Some of this wealth finds its way to terrorist groups and organisations promoting the spread of Islam. 

OPEC's activities would be highly illegal in most advanced countries. If it tried to operate in Australia it would be prosecuted out of existence by the ACCC invoking the anti-competition provisions of the Trade Practices Act.
