But I'm more concerned with the reason for the punishment, Ru. Not the gross numbers of how many thieves had their hands chopped off at the Saturday Night Public Punishment Session in Riyadh.

look all I can say about Saudis, is that the people there are living in tyranny. Most of the people are dumbed down and that's why most of the radical "Muslims" come from there. All I can say is, don't pay attention to these people because they lack education.
Hopefully in a couple months there will be changes in Arabia.
This seems to be an affliction of ALL muslim countries.... So sad

If those committing live adultery (again in front of 4 people which is realistically is so rare that it doesn't even happen in a porn studio) go unpunished, the victims will start questioning this religion. How can this religion and the community be so cruel to let their coward parent go free...etc.
Well said. The punishment laws in Shariah are mainly for the purpose of protecting society from the insecurity caused by criminals and by certain actions of individuals.
Similarly, the philosophical basis of Western law is not punishment but reform. Prisons were initially created with the Christian Puritan notion that if people were isolated from the rest of society and forced to reflect upon their crimes, they would emerge reformed individuals who are no longer a threat to society. Prisons are a way in which society is protected from the crimes of people whom the society no longer trusts to uphold the social contract.
So what you are saying is that your respective countries are full of such stupid, moronic and unthinking people that they NEED this sort of primitive set of rules and regulations that the rest of the planets countries have out grown?? So sad
Women who have 'taken the veil' are a sad indictment of the bestiality of the men folk of their country. Clearly males ARE the problem?
