Saudi Arabia Justice - The right way to deal with some people?

    Saudi Arabia gets some stick but occasionally in a while they hand out a sentence I actually for once, agree with!
    See below. Good riddance to the piece of garbage! :mad:
    A man in Saudi Arabia is to be beheaded and crucified after he raped five children and left one of them, a three-year-old boy, to die in the desert.
    An appeal court in the capital Riyadh approved the death sentence handed down in June by judges in the northwestern oasis city of Hail where the convicted 22-year-old man carried out his crimes.

    The rapist - who was not named - was arrested several weeks ago as he tried to seize another boy after offering him a ride home from school.
    The seven-year-old - who escaped unharmed - helped identify the culprit.
    The man’s victims were aged between three and seven. He was said to have lured them into his car as they left school at midday and then drove them to remote desert locations to rape them.

    An investigation was launched after a 25-year-old father reported that his three-year-old son was missing and that he suspected the kidnapper to be a male driver of a white four-wheel drive vehicle.
    The infant was later found under a scorching sun in the desert where he had died of thirst.
    A panel of three judges in Hail sentenced the rapist to death for “abhorrent” crimes which they said had terrorised the community.

    Crucifixion in the conservative desert Kingdom means tying the convict’s body to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after he is decapitated by a professional swordsman.
    Saudi Arabia has executed 56 people this year under laws that allow the death penalty for rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking.
    In extreme cases, the convict is executed and his body crucified in public.

    Right way to deal with someone like him, wrong way to deal with 99% of others.

    Well deserved I think.

    O' I agree with you there. His kind is the extreme rare exception.

    No, it's barbaric

    so are their stoning laws, watch a video and get perspective

    We live in a society where taking a life is not tolerated, be it under law or not

    I like it here.. that's just my opinion


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 157 ✭✭A Doozer


    I was thinking about that on the way to work. Not that particular case but how the legal/judicial world have turned. If someone breaks into your home you should be able to beat six shades of snot out of them without getting sued.

    If someone does rape someone then cut their penis off

    If it's a paedo rape, cut it off for two weeks and then execute them.

    I am so sick of the sh!t that's going on. Someone stole my car and crashed it - what did they try to do? Sue me. Ffs! Corporal punishment had it's benefits as well as it's boo boo's. Good article. Makes me want to move there.

    Thanks op

    here in Ireland a 19 year old male having sex with a 16 year old is considered a sex offender thanks to new laws (and there are already lawcases in court)

    I used both the words HARM and CHILDREN.

    Two 16 year olds fcuking involves no harm and no children.

    You are getting on my tit's about this.

    That's statutory rape, technically. I personally have no problem if someone wants to fcuk a 16 year old. But in THIS country it doesn't involve beheading anyway so your point is Moot.

    I don't know how the Saudi's would deal with it, probably stone the girl to death for being a temptress.

    But that's not what is being discussed here.

    It is not remotely similar.


  • Posts: 1,427 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Although I would agree that someone who commited crimes as horrendous as this guy did might deserve this kind of punishment, it's impossible to agree with the Saudi system as a whole. FFS they can execute you for apostasy.

    What happens if it comes to light several years down the line that they got the wrong guy? A death sentence can't be reversed! I remember reading somewhere that in the U.S. when DNA evidence was used to reexamine the cases of a group of prisoners on death row a disturbingly large amount of them turned out to be innocent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,376 ✭✭✭ei.sdraob


    The man RAPED the CHILDREN.

    Why would you be for that?

    will you calm the f*uck down

    I read the OP and its wrong, the guy should rot rest of his life in dirty prison


    what im trying to say (yet again) is how will the Saudi law deal with cases like the one I linked in the above post

    the OP wants beheading in this country...

    so my point stands

    The world is a strange place.
    Our traditions and ways of doing things are not deemed to be always just the right way - each country to their own and just once in a while (for all the many bad things they have/do) they have things other people in other places admire.

    See: Bulgarian girl, 11, gives birth to her daughter... on her wedding day

    Does everyone who commits the same crime get the same sentence?
    i.e Murder 1 person, get X amount of years, Assault 1 person, get X amount of years ?
    No they don't.
    So your point doesn't stand.

    Buggering children isn't tolerated in our society

    The system for dealing with it is flawed though, not as flawed as a system in which the state can end your life however

    what is anyone's life really worth if that can happen? And it happens to innocent people sometimes

    I think his point was more about someone here claiming that they would like to live there, seeing as this was how they dealt with paedophiles.

    In no way whatsoever did I get the impression ei.sdraob (why can't you have an easier name?!) was advocating paedophilia, or suggesting that they shouldn't be punished.

    The simple fact is, you can either have a democracy, with the good and bad that comes with it; or you can have an other system, with all the good and bad that come with it. Personally, as I continue to choose to live in Ireland, I'm going with the former.

    OT, I don't believe in corporal/capital punishment, ever. It's the easy way out for scum.

    I don't believe in capital punishment, purely incase there is a mistake about their guilt.

    If there was a way of working out guilt without doubt, I'd have no problem with it for murderers and rapists. (Not counting statutory rape at similar ages)

    exactly the guy in OP deserves punishment

    all i did was highlight a case here in Ireland (there are many more) to make the OP and other think

    minidazzler i can't believe you're disagreeing with that man - a 19 year old and a 16 year old in a loving relationship having consensual sex is really no different to a grown man raping, torturing and killing babies and should be punished accordingly.

    I don't think he made a proposal but if he did I'm sure it's that people who do what this excuse for a human being did would be punished in this way

    But technically any law against the former would also be a law against the latter.

    Which is why laws like this have no place in a civilised society, tbh.


    Anyway, i'm guessing that half the people in this thread who are vicariously living out their sadistic fantasies about crucifixion and decapitation are the first ones to chime in their two pence worth every time someone starts a thread about how Sharia law is just around the corner and we can't have nativity plays any more because the Muslims will be offended.

    So, when should he get jail time? When she is 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6?

    The law is the law, and a line has to be drawn.

    True, but at 16 I think a Barring order should be put in place, break that and jail time.

    Jail time straight up at 14.

    15 is a grey area, I wouldnt' do anyone younger than 19 myself, but that's because I can't stand young people.

    I'm glad you get it.

    I haven't proposed anything (not that I know of :confused: ).
    I said once in a while a agree with something another country does.
    Here is my point - I agree with it on an emotional level!
    On a level of fairness and justice of a sentence that might have to be revoked (later), in realistic practical terms 99% of the time I would have to say "lock the person up and throw away the keys".

    The other 1% of the time there might be a case for just a hard penalty (when the culprit was caught right in the act) for as this sick man was found to be, was two things.
    1. A cold child killer who did his killings without hesitation and
    2. A rapist that sought to inflict a severest form of pain on an innocent victim.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    Capital punishment is not the way to go... Nor is corporal punishment.

    Certain extreme cases warrant more extreme punishments.

    I do not agree with capital punishment for the simple reason that for every 100 guilty men executed and who got what they deserved, one innocent man is put to death for a crime he did not commit. The system is too flawed to mete out such punishments. There is no perfect solution.

    Captial punishment does not deter others from committing capital crimes; but it does prevent the ones who are put to death from re-offending (that's for sure...)

    But I still oppose the death penalty for the potential miscarriages of justice that can occur via its usage, however rare they may be.
