What backwards stupidity. It's coming here unless we stop it... ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Court Upholds Verdict on Adulterous Officer Ali Huwash, Arab News MAKKAH, 5 June 2007 — An appeals court in Makkah has upheld the verdict of a court in Jizan that sentenced a police officer in this southern Saudi city to two years in prison and 400 lashes for having sexual relations with a college student. The officer was accused of using a furnished apartment to have an illicit affair with a woman with whom he was not married. During the trial it was revealed that the man used to pick up the student at a local college as if he were her husband. The two were arrested in 2005 after being followed by undercover members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. Commission members said the man claimed that magical talismans that were found in his apartment were used to bewitch the girl. For her part, the woman allegedly claimed that she went with the officer under the impression he wanted to marry her even though he already had a wife. The judge said he issued the verdict based in part on the fact the accused was an officer of the law and therefore shouldn’t be breaking the law. The defense lawyer denied that his client was having sexual relations with the women and that the commission officers did not witness any sexual contact between the two. The prosecution brought witnesses that said they observed the man and woman entering the apartment together. Under Shariah law, adultery can be punishable by death but that penalty requires four witnesses who see the sexual act. http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1&sec...5&m=6&y=2007&pix=kingdom.jpg&category=Kingdom
You know what Bones? Up till now I didn't know anything that I liked about these people, but this is something that I could at least consider if put into practice around these parts. Not a half bad idea, really!
well, even the bible says adultery is wrong, but 2 years seems a bit harsh, but that is what you get under a theocracy. They should be thankful no one witnessed the deed
John,I agree with the Iranians when they put faggots & lesbians to death - especially when the faggots & lesbians have been given the Saddam Hussein treatment! We've got far too many of the faggot & lesbian subhuman filth in Parliament these days,especially that braindead Chris Carter. Aidan.
Aidan, I can't agree with executing people for sexual preference and by that I mean homosexuality but murder of anyone or rape and murder of children or women is a different matter.
John,it has been proven that there is a link between homosexuality & child abuse.It really offends me that New Zealand has the highest rate of child abuse in the entire British Commonwealth,as I was abused by both my father & my ex-foster family. When Mark Middleton came out & threatened to give Paul Dally a bullet if Dally was ever released from his 'holiday camp' with bars,I actually agreed with where Mr. Middleton was coming from.When I met Mr. Middleton after he was unjustly convicted,I gave him a big hug to thank him for calling a spade a spade,as it were. The death penalty for homosexuality is directly stated in the Book of Leviticus in this verse - 'Man shalt not lieth with mankind as with womankind,for that is an abomination.Whoever does so shalt be put to death'.The Book of Romans also restates this,albeit,put in another way. Aidan.
Well Adam, the Radical Islamic Jihadists have said so in their words and writings. They have the desire to make the entire earth an Islamic playground. Maybe you didn't get the news on a regular basis for a while, but there is a WorldWide Jihad going on now. The battles rage on every border of every Muslim land where it touches that of those who believe differently.
Islam is religion of make women feels subhuman or animals. They kills them all time in Chechen Republic, Saudi Arab and many countries of Middle East. It too bad women feel like they cannot leave thos places and find civilization to live in happy.
Well, I know the radical muslims would like to do all that. But I really don't think we're in any danger of those kinds of laws and ways of life ever becoming common over here.
Adam,I was abused by a Romish priest.Krasnaya Vityaz was asking whether or not my own father was a Romish priest. Aidan.
