In Saudi Arabia, they take a thief and cut off his hands. Here, we send him to Congress. Which is crazier?

I'm sure the Democrats will be howling in protest about this injustice.

It’s so odd though, because if someone commits rape it’s the victim that gets punished. Oh, same thing I guess, here we elect them to higher office.

We not only send them to Congress, they run the Federal Reserve and the banking system too!

If the same was true here there would not be a politician who was not a quadriplegic...of course they would have an exemption.

I don’t endorse Sharia law but it is a good crime deterrent to alleviate thefts, plus cuts down on back round checks. I mean, yo, if a job applicant is missing a hand, I guess he’s a thief.

We need to send Harry Reid to the Saudi court for thievery of the ranchers in Nevada.

This sounds very suspicious to me. Unless they have changed their laws in the last nine months, the cutting off the hand punishment is bogus.

Nothing new, knew a welder that stole something there 40 years ago and they cut off his right hand, out the bloody stump in a plastic bag and put him on an airplane to LONDON.

Not to worry. In the KSA, the direst punishments are usually reserved for lower end "guest workers."

Good idea to avoid shopping in Riyadh on punishment day, as they (used to) round up foreigners in the souk to witness the punishments in "Chop-Chop" Square.
