The flogging in Saudi Arabia is an extended death process by torture. Both are barbaric. Please look up the embassy for Saudi Arabia and send in email giving your thots on flogging and beheading. The huge public outcry re flogging has created a pause in the flogging schedule for Raif, the blogger. We need to keep up the pressure. Thanks.
