no ten commandments there in Saudi
but they stone women and rape,
kill Christians [Filipinas]if they do not like them and
throw them into prisons there [British tourists]..
Someone has been living in lala land and it ain`t me.
Afghanistan govt wants to stone women too
cf http://www.islamic-life.com/forums/shariah-usul-al-fiqh/punishment-theft-quran-2114
which is a bunch of Islamic propaganda
The Koran contains the Books of Moses (although they are somewhat different from tha accepted Christian canon).
Yes there are stonings, rape and murder, but none that is condoned by the government. Also, there are only about 200 murders a year in all of Saudia. How does that compare to LA.? Rapes are rare enough, that it is major news when it happens there. Honor killings happen, but in the 5 years I was there, I only heard of one being committed.
Typically, governmental punishment of crimes over there consists of imprisonment, whipping or (in the case of capital crimes) beheading. Oh yes. The most common one is banishment.
Why were the British tourists thrown intor prison? Firstly, the story sounds kind of fishy, because Saudia doesn’t have a tourist industry. Thy do have visas for Muslims going to Hajj or Umrah and they have business visas and they do let relatives of foreigners visit, but that is,about it, except those who qualify for the Iquama foe work purposes.
