The girl of Khobar

A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a Lebanese man to six years in jail and 300 lashes for his role in helping a Saudi woman flee the country and convert to Christianity.

A Saudi national who reportedly helped the unnamed woman ( believed to be in her early 30s) to leave Saudi Arabia using forged travel documents was also sentenced by the court in the eastern city of Khobar to two years in prison and to 200 lashes.

Humood Bin Farhan Al Khalidi, the lawyer of the woman, known in the local media as the “The girl of Khobar”in reference to the Eastern Province city where she worked, said that he was pleased with the verdict.

However, he added that the two defendants, who were present at the court to hear the sentence, said that they would appeal it.

“The girl of Khobar”, was granted refuge inSweden where she lives under the protection of unspecified NGOs, according to local press reports.

She had appeared in a YouTube video last year in which she announced that she had chosen to convert to Christianity.

Saudi women are banned from travelling without their guardians’ permission.

    I saw this woman on youtube testifying how her life changed when she accepted Jesus Christ as her lord and savior. This article does not identify the Lebanese man who helped save this woman from eternal death. However, the bible says: ” the will kill you and persecute you thinking that they are pleasing God” and this is exactly what is happening to this Lebanese in Saudi Arabia. The President and Saad Hariri should intervene to get this Lebanese man out of this Kingdom of Hell and save him from the tenticles of the devil in Saudi Arabia, the worst and most ignorant place on earth.

      The sad part is that the U.S. supports this shitty place. Since nobody is taking this evil down God will do it for the sake of humanity… via corona virus.

    I wonder what the world response to this story would be if it happened in Israel rather than Saudi Arabia. Do you think BBC would pick up the story?

      (well … not every day in Tripoli, of course … too many bits of idiocy … but overall, ALL)

        5thDrawer, that DID make the news, front page. And that is exactly my point.

        Women getting stoned in the Islamic world on the other hand usually results in fatalities and pure silence.

          Oh. Ok. I accept that not ‘all’ the world wants to see the ‘news’. But I am sure you will see the bits about two men being flogged to death. At some point.
          Perhaps the ‘reason’ won’t be adverised well. ๐Ÿ˜‰ There are not enough women ‘on line’ … yet. (I do note Israel allows them to be. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Correction Andre: Imagine if there is no ISLAM to judge people…..It is clear that you not a real christian but a just born christian, because christianity’ s message is LOVE and peace, but humans (so called christians) most of the time do not apply their religion’s instructions. A true christian is someone who is born again in Christ in the spirit not in the flesh, as Jesus told Nicodemus in the bible.

    Is nobody aware that Saudi are the masterminds of all the muslim evil going on in the world, the west have been hoodwinked by this evil regime, the Indonesian muslims were peaceful until Saudi pored in money to get an extremist movement going and the same is happening in Thailand as before the Buddhists and the muslims lived very peacefully. Remember the Saudi’s will not allow a non muslims in mecca by law, they invest money into hate schools were home grown bombers flourish all while our leaders think they are our allies, I would sooner let the sand rats keep there oil.
