Islamic court in Saudi Arabia sentences man to 70 lashes in public

"Arab News" reports that Saudi Arabia has implemented once again Islamic law and is disrespecting human rights:

Indian flogged for sacrilege By Abdullah Al-Fehaid

SUDAIR, 20 January 2003 — An Indian worker in Roudhat Sudair, 150 km north of Riyadh, was sentenced to 70 lashes in public and deportation by a Shariah court here for urinating on the walls of a mosque. The man, a non-Muslim tailor, was proved guilty of repeating the sacrilegious act several times with malicious intention. He was flogged at the courtyard of the Sabeen Mosque in Roudhat Sudair. Security agencies are now taking steps to deport him.

As a matter of policy, I don't link to Nazi publications (such as this "Arab News"), so I won't list the source of the above article. Thanks to LGF for the link.

Naima,

The above mosque is not the "holliest place of the muslim people of the world" - it's just a building.

No, the man does not deserve to get killed because he urinated on a building.

Your intolerance is simply unbelievable and it will lead you nowhere.

Many of us in Israel and the United States will continue to fight for women rights, gay right, and just human rights.

Stop your calls for violence, hatred and murder based on your Islamic narrow-mindedness - it is barbaric and the world will not accept it.
