Yikes! A Saudi blogger received 1,000 lashes and 10 years in a black hole known as Al-Ha'ir Prison located just south of Riyadh. Raif Badawi offended the Wahhabi mullahs in Riyadh with his blog posts. This blogger is fortunate that his name isn't نيل سابر because 1,000 licks with a wooden cane might tingle a bit. If this is (fair & balanced) gratitude for not living in The Kingdom (Saudi Arabia), so be it.
