A Saudi Arabian judge sentenced 20 foreigners to receive lashes and spend months in prison after he convicted them of attending a party where alcohol was served and men and women danced. The foreigners would have actually received the same treatment here in the U.S., because they were all visiting students from Bob Jones University.
