Will ANY Western government protest????
If they were sentenced because they were Christians, the world would be up in arms..but no one will say a word because they are gay...
TWO men in Saudi Arabia have been sentenced to 7000 lashes each after being convicted of sodomy and have received their first round of punishment in public, a newspaper said today.
The men, who were not identified, were meted out an unspecified number of lashes in public in the the southwestern city of Al-Bahah on Tuesday evening, the Al-Okaz daily reported.
They were then returned to prison where they are to be held until the full punishment is completed, the newspaper added, without saying how many sessions this would involve.

The brits many years ago determined 70 lashes with the #9 lash (the infamous cat-o-nine tails..) would make you unconcious..80-90 would put you at deaths door..and 100 lashes was sufficient to kill you..
I imagine they want this to last, so 70 it probably was..
I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something from Peter MacKay about this; I would hope so, if the story can be substantiated.
