Los Angeles police said Majed Abdulaziz al-Saud, 28, was arrested on Wednesday and released the following day after posting a $300,000 (£197,000) bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on October 19 to face a charge of "forced oral copulation". Al-Saud does not have diplomatic immunity, police said.

    For some open and honest criticism of Sharia from a female ex-Muslim, see this 2010 story from the Guardian [theguardian.com].

    A major problem in Islamic legal systems is that a woman's testimony in court is worth less than that of a man's. You can guess how that works [clarionproject.org].

    Rape is a crime in Islam [bbc.co.uk] but the law is applied in creative ways.
