Re: 40 lashes for grandmother in Saudi.

I understand that they need to know the law of their land but not everyone can choose where they want to live.

I always remember that poor girl that got stoned till che died and that shocked me that this kind of thing still goes on these days.

I think it's about time something was done as it just isnt right.

Consequentially they rarely suffer the those problems that we "civilised" Europeans have had to and seem powerless to effectively control, like:

Burglary; Drug dealing; Muggings, etc.

For example, I could (without fear) leave my car parked up, with the doors unlocked, windows down and my wallet on top of the dashboard and know that no-one would take it - such is the effectivness of the law - which applies to all and anyone in the country.

Si thee :Sprint:

Just goes to show how us civilised people see those barbaric races, they have their finger on the pulse, commit a crime and pay the consequences, right or wrong in our book.

Re: 40 lashes for grandmother in Saudi.

This is it........the law is their law.
I do not agree with it at all, nor would most on here either!

Do we have the right to enforce our view points and attitudes on them?

Until we all live in a world that is equal, this is the way it is, however bad and unjust that it is.

Respect is due to all those though that try to change things in other countries, and then suffer persecution and even death by doing so.

Re: 40 lashes for grandmother in Saudi.

i would agree with most of this thread that it is not our place to try to change their laws

we cannot criticize other religions /cultures for trying to manipulate our laws in this country by saying things like "who do they think they are coming to this country and trying to change our laws to suit themselves "and other comments along those lines if we cannot let them live by their own laws in their own country .They make their own laws they should be the ones to change them

although i don't agree with what happened we shouldn't realy interfere .If on the other hand a group of saudi expats were trying to enforce that law in THIS country then that would be a different matter

I would also consider adopting some of their ideas on law enforcement although some seem a bit extreme for the crime it would surely put the fear of god into some of the thugs in this country
