"Conservative" Saudi websites are apparently accusing the King of breaching the rules of Islam in order to appease its Western critics, by pardoning a rape victim sentenced to the lash for being alone with a man in the first place.
But they are only partly right: the King has indeed breached what are indeed the rules of Islam; but the Western critics refuse, with very rare exceptions, to be critics of Islam itself, and instead insist, like Gillian Gibbons, that Islam is really "peaceful and tolerant", deserving to be imported en masse into our cities and towns, and deserving of its own states in the Balkans (for a start, anyway).
No, it is not.
