Isn't being without Teh Internetz punishment enough?
An American businesswoman was carted off to jail by religious police in Saudi Arabia for sitting with a male colleague at a Starbucks in Riyadh, the Times of London reported.
The woman, who spent a day behind bars, was strip-searched and forced to sign a false confession before being released, the newspaper said. The Times declined to publish her name at her request.
And we call these people our friends. Let's not forget that 19 Saudis were on the planes of 9/11.
