This has been law for a long time. I can remember someone telling me about it 30 years ago. His son was visiting there.

These people still live in the 14th Century. They don’t deserve to be part of todays World Community. Put a fence up around them and let them do what they will to each other. Just don’t let them out from behind that fence.

Ironic given the other thread about a Saudi rape victim getting two hundred lashes for being..well, a rape victim.

I like how they sanitize it with his hand being “removed” like it was a Borg twist-on appendage.
