#2  I thought Sharia demanded four Muslim men as witnesses of the rape. Otherwise the woman would be stoned for adultery.

Saudi authorities beheaded three Bangladeshi men Friday who were convicted of killing a fellow national and raping his wife, the Interior Ministry said.

In a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency, the ministry said that Thakeer Abdul-Rahman, Tafeel Abdul-Rasheed and Leon Juli stormed the home of the fellow national, whose name was not given.

"They beat him up, threatened him with a knife, blindfolded him and used a rope to strangle him," according to the statement.

It said the three men stole the couple's money and gold jewelry before taking the wife to a remote place and raping her."
