Riyadh - A prominent Saudi Arabian preacher who raped his 5-year-old daughter before torturing her to death has been spared a death sentence or even a lengthy prison term after agreeing to pay "blood money" to the slain girl's mother. Fayhan al-Ghamdi, a former drug addict who rose to national prominence as an Islamic television preacher, was arrested last November and charged with brutally raping and torturing 5-year-old Lama al-Ghamdi to death. According to a medical report, the little girl had been tortured with whips, electric shocks and an iron. She had broken arms, a broken back and a fractured skull. She died on October 22. According to social worker Randa al-Kaleeb, Lama had been raped "everywhere." Hospital staff told the girl's mother that her "daughter's rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed," Agence France-Presse reports. It wasn't the first time that al-Ghamdi abused his daughter. Last April, he was accused of torturing her so badly that her skull was fractured and she sustained brain damage. Al-Ghamdi was jailed for a short period, but the judge ruled that the prosecution could only seek to compel him to pay "blood money" to Lama's mother. That, combined with time served, led to the killer's freedom. In Saudi Arabia, a US ally, people are executed by public beheading for apostasy (renouncing Islam), blasphemy, witchcraft, sorcery, adultery, homosexuality and prostitution. But under the strict brand of Islamic law practiced in the kingdom, men cannot be executed for killing their wives or children. Read more: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/342697#ixzz2JsPlYoEb

Well,HEY! She WAS just one of those "girl things",right? And we are allies with those animals!
This animal deserves a bullet in the head for this disgusting crime, and those responsible for that rediculous legal system have my utter loathing and distain. I would rather walk or ride a bicycle the rest of my life than use an ounce of gasoline from these people's oil.
Is that what you do, walk or ride a bicycle? And is that why?
I have several top quality bicycles, and I do much more walking or riding than riding my motorcycle or driving a car. Which is something easy to do in bicycle friendly Eugene, Oregon. I was a bicycle mechanic in a few bicycle shops until I broke my arms in 1998 when I lost range of movement and agility in them. I also used to race bicycles when I was younger too.
I have to respect that position on using ME oil. What kind of mc do you have? I haven't owned one in years and miss it every day.
I have a 1994 Yamaha 750 Virago. I just sold my 1983 Yamaha 500 Virago, the first motorcycle I rebuilt. I like rebuilding volkswagon aircooled engines, and those of motorcycles. I'm looking for a new project VW to do this spring. I am going to bring a dead beetle back to life and get it re-titled. The hunt for it as always is half the fun.
The whole thing is fun,from the hunt for the car itself,to bringing it home and tearing it apart,to finding and refurbing the parts and putting it back on the road. I seem to start losing interest in them after that,though. Still looking for a few parts for my 42 Dodge business coupe before I start tearing it apart and redoing it. I have others that are closer to being finished and drivable,but that's the one stuck on top of my lift until I can get it moving and stopping under it's own power.
Have you tried Havanna?
Have you tried Havanna? I had a car dealer in Russia suggest the same thing. Can't do it,though. Illegal to import or export anything from Cuba.
I have the feeling that won't be true for very much longer, Raul has made a lot of changes even though Fidel is still alive...
I sure hope so.

I sure hope so. Only time will tell what happens especially when Raul goes to name "HIS" successor...
