Update On The Girl – If Thais Send Her Back, Boycott Thailand!
Saudi Arabia is of course a cess-pool of Islamist intolerance.

Christians and adherents of other religions are not allowed to build houses of worship, as far as I know, and are certainly not free to preach in public or proselytise – seeking to convert others to their creeds, which ought to be a basic right in every country, is VERY dangerous.

So if people escape from the desert dungeon kingdom, there should be no question of forcing them back, unless they are villains out to replace Saudi shariah despotism with something worse, marxism, or an even more fanatical form of sectarianism.
Those latter ‘isms’ can hardly be applied to the teenage lass trapped in a Thai hotel room.
“Screaming And Begging For Help?” Let This Girl Go!

We had a short sharp blog-burst when the story broke, reminding you of a previous case, but as we have read more on what’s behind her plight, the case for saving her from repatriation is even stronger than we first thought.It’s not just a ‘family matter’ at all.

Saudi woman who renounced Islam detained on her way to Australia
I’m not sure what properly constitutes a ‘human right,’ a term debased by idiot judges and millennial morons in recent years, ever twisting the concept to bring it into disrepute among normal people.
But if there is one thing every man and woman of goodwill must surely agree on, it has to be the right to convert to, or from, any religion, or not to adhere to any creed at all.
The Saudis do NOT agree, and, like many primitive and savage persons, not only in the Arabian Peninsula but elsewhere, believe that using one’s God-given brain to decide for yourself how to worship God, or even whether to worship God, is a capital crime.
Such a belief puts them beyond the pale of civilisation.

I have never had much interest in going to Thailand anyway, but I agree with you, if Thailand ships her back to Saudi, there needs to be backlash.

I spent a while in Bangkok and in Jakarta and Bangkok totally lacks the charm that Jakarta for all its faults does have.
So you do not have to persuade me to stay away from the place.
Incidentally, I just heard on the news that the Thais are now showing a little sense, that Rahaf will not be forced out.
You make a good case against Saudi Arabia, though, all the things you say are true and it would be very wrong if that young lady is sent back there, very wrong too to punish people for leaving whatever religion.
Killing people for converting is a terrible sin against God. He can sort out sinners for Himself.
Even if you are an atheist it is a sin, against reason.

That’s a good point you make, about the way ‘human rights’ have been transformed from things most of us would think were good to almost anything that some fool dreams up.
I saw on tv today, just after I read your words, that Estonia has declared that ‘internet access’ is a ‘human right’ and inserted that idiocy into its constitution!
Internet access is fun and useful. Nothing more.

Hear hear, Ross, and I’m pleased that you inserted those cautionary words about marxists and fanatics. You could have added barbarians.
This young Arab lady is highly unlikely to be any kind of risk to Australia.
That cannot be said about the African gangs now terrorising Melbourne, or the Islamists who enjoyed all the benefits of living in a civilised Western country and then joined its deadly enemies.
Selectivity in admitting ‘asylum’ seekers is essential.
