Islamic Law: Coming Soon to a Place near You

Scandal in Saudi Arabia

[This article has been clipped. Parts are not relevant to what i believe is the larger issue.]


Saudi Arabia follows an austere form of Islam where religious police patrol the streets to enforce a strict moral standard including no mixing of unrelated men and women, as well as no drugs and alcohol.

Public beheadings are regularly carried out for a range of crimes, from murder to rape, witchcraft or insulting Islam.

But many young Saudis find ways around the draconian system to make contact with each other, and the clerics have tried in vain to limit mobile phone and other technology.

Abdul-Jawad said sex became an important part of his life at age 14, following his first sexual encounter with a neighbour.

He demonstrated how he would cruise girls in his red convertible or in supermarkets, often making use of Bluetooth mobile phone technology, and produced sex toys and lubricants from his bedroom cupboard.

"While I'm driving I turn my Bluetooth on. It has the description of my car and my mobile number... I get calls from girls... and in some cases I call back and she goes out with me," he says in the Youtube clips.

Newspapers and bloggers have said the young man should face legal action for spreading vice in what has been dubbed by media as the "frank with filth case".

"He confessed before the world that he committed fornication and continues to fornicate," an anonymous user wrote on al-Medina newspaper's web forum this week.

"It is for that reason that he deserves to be stoned to death, as Islamic law stipulates."

The sinner appears ready to face the stones -

"I offer my apologies to everyone and I am ready to accept the consequences," he said in an interview with the daily Okaz last week. It carried a photograph of him in traditional Saudi robes but with his face concealed.

I know you people who want to give Obama a chance also feel that this is barbaric, maybe a few of you believe it is fine for them. For us it is ok, correct? We as a culture accept fornication and infidelity and ... but is not our immorality seeping across borders and influencing poor men like Abdul-Jawad? Is his promiscuity not the result of Western influence? So do you think in your wildest dream that if they have the chance, they would impose their values on you, or at the very least to start with - get you to keep your values to yourself in your home and out of the public square?

Please say you understand how serious this is for you - what is, I feel, astonishing is - when these people get control, and they will - liberals will all be on the chopping block first, for corruption of morality. I find this to be very funny. It is liberals who are constantly howling about tolerating, and when the day comes, their toleration and 'open' values will be chopped long before the Islamists get around to doing the rest of us. At least for that short period there will be some sense of relief.
