Following Sharia law, an Imam tortures and kills his 5 year old daughter because he doubts her virginity. Punishment is a fine.

Under Sharia law, a man can kill his wife or children.

A popular Saudi Arabian television preacher was found guilty of murdering his own 5-year-old daughter because he doubted her virginity, as reported by The Daily Mail (of London, England).

I guess not eh? What is the point of this thread? That there are mentally ill folks in other countries just the same as there are here?

I'm thinking you're going to get schooled by the politically correct crowd. Rule #1 from the PC handbook: Islam and all those who follow their faith can do no wrong.

The religion of Mohammedanism is not compatible with western civilization and needs to be removed, just like the cancer it is, from all spheres of western influence.

Sharia Law is backwards. Cultural Relativism is BS. The same professors in college that espouse cultural relativism that you can't judge a culture are hypocrites as they correctly call out things in America's past (and even present) that were once socially acceptable/justifiable like slavery and lack of woman voting.

Another teacher at my school was teaching Sharia in my classroom during my planning period - saying how we can't judge a culture -- so shortsighted. Then we can't judge our own culture and make improvements.

He was following their law. They did not consider him ill.

Andrea Yates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why did you selectively quote the article?

For a more honest discussion, pknopp left out:

Quote:
"Although found guilty of murder, Sheikh Fayhan al-Ghamdi was released after being fined $50,000 (£31,000) as "blood money" under Islamic Sharia'a Law for the death of his child.

Ghamdi had been incarcerated since last November and the presiding judge ruled the handful of months was sufficient time behind bars."
Sharia Law is backwards.

They did consider him guilty of murder, so what exactly is your point here?
