How to take care of child abusers

[Diegan]

Now I'm not exactly a Saudi apologist when it comes to human rights. But fuck me, they know how to take care of child abusers.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi authorities beheaded and crucified a man convicted of brutally slaying an 11-year-old boy and his father, the Interior Ministry announced.

According to the statement issued by the ministry Friday, shop owner Ahmed al-Anzi molested the boy and then strangled him with a length of rope. He then stabbed the boy's father to death when the man came looking for his son.

He hid both the bodies in his shop, the statement said, adding that al-Anzi threatened police with a knife when they came to arrest him.

Al-Anzi had previously been convicted of sodomy and owning pornographic films, a crime in conservative Saudi Arabia.

Crucifying the headless body in a public place is a way to set an example, according to the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam. Normally those convicted of rape, murder and drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia are just beheaded.

According to an Associated Press count, Friday's execution brought the number to 35 beheading this year in the kingdom. In 2008, 102 people were beheaded.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but are saudis not allowed to marry young girls?

seems to be a case of double standards to me.

As I said, I'm hardly an apologist for them. Also, as it's socially accepted, the girls aren't really against it for the most part. Is it fucked up from our point of view? Yea, but it is what it is.

I know murder was involved in this case, but the fact it was a boy who was abused, and the way they dealt with it, just goes to show the contempt with which they view women.

Countries like that have such a warped view of the world.

The punishment would have been the same if it was a girl, if not worse. Saudi Arabia isn't the Taliban who doesn't let their women have any say. There's actually women in very high government positions in Saudi Arabia. I think you are picking on the wrong Middle East country in my opinion. I was watching a documentary and they had women working for the Prince dressed like Western business women.

As long as the little 10 year old girl is married, it's ok. But if she isn't married? WHOA BOY, THAT DEMANDS A BEHEADING.

Yea, nobody marries at 10, good job showing your ignorance though. Fuckin' hell... whenever anyone starts a thread on the Middle East this shit always comes along.

Cristo you got got told.

Why behead him? Put the dirty fucker in a cell with NOTHING in it, take his clothes off and leave him there. Give him fuck all apart from hot water all over his body once a day, let him suffer or send in someone to beast him where it hurts. FUCKING SCUM.

Day-um.

Anyways, I think this was more done for the deterrent value. It sets a, how should I put it... an incentive not to do this sort of thing.

[Batch_cfc]

I wouldnt disagree with the punishment, probably a better way to deal with them than they do over here.

Ouch. That's still not exactly normal, though. I studied them pretty extensively last year.

I think you can find a story to refute any sentence anybody could make, though. I've noticed that about you.

Flattery will get you nowhere !

Wasn't meant as flattery, it's annoying. There's stories like that everywhere, doesn't mean its normal. From what it sounds like the case was upheld because it was a legal contract, not because they like marrying off 8 year olds.

There was also a story about a Mexican guy who married his daughter off for 5 grand here in San Diego. She was 11.

What's annoying ? Being shown to be wrong ? I'd imagine it is annoying, particularly when you tell people they are 'ignorant' to suggest that a 10 year old girl can be married in Saudi Arabia (and it's proven to be true).

WTF does 'not as if they like marrying off an 8 year old' mean ?
