Humanity

Latest headlines tells me that U.S. is astonished by Saudi rape sentence. A gang rape victim is punished because she was with an unrelated male when the incident took place and U.S. is mildly surprised at the verdict. If this would have happened in Iran, there would have been hue and cries by the same department about status of woman in Islamic society and hence justifying their hostilities against them. How they feel about a humanitarian issue depends upon the current political situation? How convenient.
