True Justice in Saudia, Pedophile gets hard punishment

[The_Prince]

from the daily mail:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worl...ie-desert.html

the pedo is going to be beheaded and publicly crucified for raping children including one 3 year old in the desert, the 3 year old was then left alone in the desert and died of thirst.

be sure to check out the comments, this is a popular right wing newspaper, and the comments are very interesting, the majority of the people support this punishment, and you can see the high thumbs up sign beside their comments which support this punishment! whats more interesting is many of the comments are saying when it comes to such things as this, then Sharia isnt so bad and they like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

crimes like this deserve harsh punishment but why would they crucify him?

they will behead him, and then crucify his body in public

this is REAL JUSTICE people, not sending such freaks to jail where they get treated nicely, and sometimes even get freed early and then go do this again!

in america recently a rapist got freed after 15 years struck again raping and killing as many as 11 people, all of them rotting and decomposed in his backyard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with such ppl there is only one option, and its the sharia option!

I disapprove of the death penalty, so I cannot agree with this.

I also have my doubts about the wisdom of turning this into a public spectacle.

[Danah]

What an animal!!!!! How can he did such thing to a 3 years old kid!!

I wonder for those who think that the punishment was hard or barbaric what they will do if they were the parent of that 3 years old kid who was left in desert till he died!!

Interesting comments though, thanks for sharing

I do not have a problem with harsh punishment or even the death penalty per se. What I do not trust is human judgment and legal systems, who simply do not always catch the right guy.

Especially in emotional cases like this the pressure to catch the perpetrator and convict who ever is suspected is very strong. The metaphorical angry mob can definitely as much undermine justice as they can serve it.

[Uthman]

This is a horrible crime and he definitely deserves a very harsh punishment. However, beheading and crucifixion are not punishments prescribed by the Islamic Sharee'ah, are they?

What I do not trust is human judgment and legal systems

Same here. I only trust God's judgement and legal system.

[Supreme]

For once, I can sympathize with the Saudi authorities for their decision.

[cat eyes]

id prefer that they would torture him first then behead him why give him a quick dead that little boy suffered for we don't know how long anyway at least they are going to kill him. at least there is some bit of justice left in this twisted world

Alhumdulillah one paedo less

[Caller الداعي]

lol dats da way

[muslimah_81]

InshaAllah this mans punishment in the hereafter will be far more worse.

[Uthman]

What can possibly motivate a person to do such a thing? He must have some kind of mental condition?

[Sampharo]

The punishment is completely orthodox and correct in Shariah:
{ إنما جزاء الذين يحاربون الله ورسوله ويسعون في الأرض فسادا أن يقتلوا أو يصلبوا أو تقطع أيديهم وأرجلهم من خلاف أو ينفوا من الأرض }
"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter"[5:33]

Crucifixion is described as beheading the person and then holding the body on stilts to be deterring example of those who do hideous crimes above murder. Mischief through the land is creating fear and worry amongst the civility or community over their safety, money, or well-being.

As per Imam Ahmed he summed it up: "Whomever caused fear and worry on a public place without theft or killing, should be exiled. Whomever caused fear and worry and killed without theft or other transgression, should be killed as a murderer, whomever caused fear and worry and killed while robbing or causing other transgressions, should be beheaded and crucified." And God knows best.

It is indeed a just end to a disgusting criminal, may God reward the children families for their calamity and inspire them with patience and fortitude.

That pedophile just got owned. Hopefully he has repented for his sins.

Too bad they don't do that to pedos in other countries.

[OurIslamic]

And I find it revolting for someone to do such things to ANYONE, let alone children.

going back to at least Roman times if not earlier, crucifixion has been seen as the final statement that the person committed such horrible crimes that they did not deserve to be treated as humans, not even in death. Crucifixion is quite nasty not just painful. Very undignified when you stop and think the person is going to become incontinent and be quite dirty in public. It was considered to be a very nasty end for a very nasty person.

I stand corrected. JazaakAllah Khayr.

i gree and i wish i had some power i would have given a punishment that no one ever gave to these kinda people the world would remember it and no one would dare to do such a thing again and why some people disagree with the punishment i dont get it ?

Since you're an atheist, that definitely makes sense. For us muslims (and theists in general), there's always the belief that due justice will be served, whether in this life or the next. So if by any chance someone innocent was punished/executed/etc., his pain and suffering would not be lost, gone for nothing- he will be rewarded in the next life. From an atheist's perspective, though, since you don't believe in the after life, you simply see it as someone being punished for something he didn't do, so its understandable that you would have your doubts about the taking of a potentially innocent life.

I'm curious though- if you knew without a doubt that the convicted person was guilty, of whatever the crime was- this one for example- would you still be against the death penalty?
