RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — A 19-year-old female victim of gang rape who initially was ordered to undergo 90 lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape," has been sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail for telling her story to the news media.
The court last year sentenced the six heavily-armed men who carried out the attack against the Shiite woman to between one and five years for committing the crime.
But the judges had decided to punish the woman further for "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media," a court source told the Arab News.

you have it all wrong. only the extremist muslims favor stuff like this. there are very few of them. they hold little influence and are not nearly the threat they are made out to be.

I honestly cant tell if this is sarcastic or not! 
In either case I dont think that what we consider 'extremist muslims' are the minority. From what I see they are the norm in that region. Of course in many other regions, like here in the US, I do think they are a minority.

I think it depends on the country. It's a big gap between a place like Egypt or Turkey and a place like Saudi Arabia or Iran. That's not to say there aren't extremists in the former two countries, but they don't exert the level of control over the laws that they do in the latter(even if their laws may still seem a bit draconian compared to ours).

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — A Saudi court sentenced a woman who had been gang raped to six months in jail and 200 lashes — more than doubling her initial penalty for being in the car of a man who was not a relative, a newspaper reported Thursday.
Originally only 90 lashes? What were they thinking?!

I hate living in a Christian country. I'll let the Muslims deal with the shitty laws that their fairy tales came up with. If they don't like it, they can stand up to their gov't for once.

Muslims don't protest their government. If a rape victem gets 200 lashes, what's the punishment for protesting the government?

just an update.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7147632.stm ----------------
The Saudi king has pardoned a female rape victim sentenced to jail and 200 lashes for being alone with a man raped in the same attack, reports say.
The "Qatif girl" case caused an international outcry with widespread criticism of the Saudi justice system.
The male and female victims were in a car together when they were abducted and raped by seven attackers, who were given jail sentences up to nine years.
Press reports say King Abdullah's move did not mean the sentence was wrong.
Quoted by the Jazirah newspaper, Justice Minister Abdullah al-Sheikh said the king had the right to issue pardons if it served the public interest.
Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to mix with men who are not close family members.
The custodial sentence plus 200 lashes was imposed after the woman, who has not been named, appealed against an earlier sentence of 90 lashes.
'Astonishing' case
The Saudi king frequently pardons criminals at the Eid al-Adha festival which takes place this week, but correspondents say that is usually announced by the official press agency.
The BBC's Heba Saleh says the king's decision to pardon the woman victim is already arousing controversy with some contributors to conservative websites, who say he has breached the rules of religion in order to appease critics in the West.
The US had called the punishment "astonishing", although it refused to condemn the Saudi justice system.
Human rights groups had been calling on King Abdullah, who has a reputation as a pro-Western reformer, to change it.
The justice ministry recently rejected what it saw as "foreign interference" in the case and insisted the ruling was legal and that the woman had confessed to having an affair with her fellow rape victim.
Earlier, the woman - who is a Shia Muslim from the Qatif area - had reportedly said she met the man in order to retrieve a photograph of them together, having herself recently got married.
She says two other men then entered the car and took them to a secluded area where others were waiting, and both she and her male companion were raped.
The woman's companion was sentenced to 90 lashes. It is not known if his sentence was also lifted.
