In the spirit of fairness, because I am quick enough to criticise the Saudis (the exporters of the Wahhabi brand of Islam that has blighted so many women's lives), so I should be fair when they do something decent for a change.
Today his Royal Highness King Abdullah has pardoned the woman who was gang raped. This pardon is not unfortunately, an attempt to change the ludicrous laws that condemn women to being considered as whores, for the slightest infringement of the honour codes (such as being raped), but it allows the woman to escape six months jail and the 200 lashes.
The King has undoubtedly succumbed to western pressure but its still the right thing to do and should be praised.
So on behalf of those who criticise your country I say well done.
