More on the Sharia front

Amnesty International urged Saudi authorities on Friday not to medically paralyse a man in retribution for similar injuries he allegedly caused during a fight.



The London-based group quoted reports that a court in the northwestern town of Tabuk had approached a number of hospitals to ask if they could cut the man?s spinal cord in retribution, as requested by the victim.



We urge the Saudi Arabian authorities not to carry out such a punishment, which amounts to nothing less than torture. While those guilty of a crime should be held accountable, intentionally paralysing a man in this way would constitute torture, and be a breach of its international human rights obligations, said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, acting director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme.

I know the man should be held accountable but I shudder at the thought of cutting the man's spinal cord in retribution.

Remember, it is Saudi Arabia who defines what Islam is for the rest of the world.
