A 75-year-old Saudi Arabian woman has been sentenced to receive 40 lashes for hosting two unrelated men in her house...The Saudi daily newspaper al-Watan said the woman, Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, has appealed her sentence...Sawadi says the two men in her house were a man she considers her son because she breast-fed him as a baby and a friend who was escorting him as he delivered bread to the elderly woman
Something is wrong with this story.
Why would two men be suspected of vice violations with a 75-year old woman?
Or
Why would two men want to have vice with a 75-year old woman?
Or
Why did one man need to be escorted by another in order to deliver bread?
Or
Will Ms. Sawadi be able to survive 40 lashes?

Or
Who reported them to the brain police?
The Saudi religious police is to begin with a rather unsavory institution I can imagine. Totally capable of performing this type of BS.
But this news item might also be a PR stunt or part of some agenda by someone someplace, wherever, whatever :/
Sounds like malkot mardut and Yichud. I wonder...
That is very interesting Anonymous!
What I can read from it is that the practices of Malkot Mardut and Yichud (thanks, wikipedia), known within radical jewishm (in some place/age) are reflected in radical islamism (in some place/age).
Small wonder.
I would not be surprised it there can be found a Christian practice refereed to somewhere in Christian text at some time.
They are after all the three sisters; Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
