Shariah (Islamic) law for all?
“Mansor Almaribe, a resident of southern Victoria state, was arrested by religious police on November 14 in Medina while participating in the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca known as the hajj.”
“Insulting the ‘friends of the founder of Islam’ earned the Australian national 500 lashes and a year in jail in Saudi Arabia last month.”
“A sentence of 500 lashes is considered equivalent to a death sentence.”
“Another son of Almaribe, Mohammed — named for the very prophet on whose behalf he is set to be tortured — has expressed fears for his father’s safety. “Five hundred lashes on his back, and he has back problems,” he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. “I wouldn’t think he’d survive 50.” Almaribe, a father of five, suffers from diabetes and heart disease.”
