United Arab Emirates

[Bittersteel]

a Bangladeshi man have commited adultery in the UAE and have been sentenced to death by stoning.that's okay he was guilty caught red handed.
what bothers me is Dubaites and Arabs,Europeans who have commited adultery were not sentenced to death.
Gulf Arabs are truly racist.

 

[virago]

Death by stoning in the UAE...I doubt that.

Can you post a source?

 

[amirah_87]

salaams akhee....maybe because they're government is kaafir and they'll cause problems!...as for bangladesh they probably might've done the same!
but with the western countries they can't it'll just cause too much havoc and mayhem!!...that's what i think insha'allah

 

[virago]

I doubt the authenticity of the claim

 

[Mawaddah]

Since when did they practise shari'ah laws?

UAE has 7 states and each state implements their law differently. Dubai is considered more open than other states, but still if someone caught red handed he/she will be fined or deported. Btw, Ajman and UAQ are most open states.

It is barbaric to have the death penalty for adultery.

I agree. I don't think it is worth the death penalty. But then again, I do not think that converting from islam does also.... :uhwhat

No it's not it's a evil crime people who do it should be put to death if there's a sharia court available, hell how would you feel if the women you share your bed with is with another man, the man made laws are Barbaric a man kills another man and gets a max of 25 years hows that fair.

[wilberhum]

Yes, and every other place in the world. Racism is a world wide problem.

 

[amirah_87]

Im not being funny or stupid, but places like dubai, how can they practice sharia law, when they inprt women to work n the sex industry in their hotels and brothels. imagine geting done for a crime like zina in dubai, where there are high class prostitues visble in the streets and hotels which are mainly used by westerners. and they dont just sneak in through the backdoor, there obviously working as a trade, which is there but not visibly, if you get what i mean.

It is barbaric to have the death penalty for adultery.

The barbarism charge with regard to some Islamic punishments has been examined and refuted in the following thread:
http://www.islamicboard.com/basics-islam/4498-shariah-law.html
The claim usually arises from a poor understanding of Islamic law.

Further discussions on that topic can be continued in that thread.

What has sharia law got to do with stoning people to death?

Not much, but govt. of Dubai runs under sharia law so I think the brother here is questioning their claim.

not sure... but under sharia law you have no freedom of speech.

 

[Isaac]

gansehhikim tell us more about sharia, you seem to be an expert.

 

[Chuck]

not sure... but under sharia law you have no freedom of speech.

Exactly how?

 

[Vishnu]

Exactly how?

Sharia does not allow freedom of speech on such matters as criticism of the prophet Muhammad.

In America you can critisize Jesus, Muhammad, or anyone for that matter. That is Freedom of Speech.
