Saudi preacher gets off light for raping, killing daughter
2013-02-03
Anything less than receiving exactly what he dished out is getting off light. Driil here, drill now.
A Saudi preacher who raped his five-year-old daughter and tortured her to death has been sentenced to pay "blood money" to the mother after having served a short jail term, activists said on Saturday.

Lamia al-Ghamdi was admitted to hospital on December 25, 2011 with multiple injuries, including a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, extensive bruising and burns, the activists said. She died last October 22.

Fayhan al-Ghamdi, an Islamic preacher and regular guest on Muslim television networks, confessed to having used cables and a cane to inflict the injuries, the activists from the group "Women to Drive" said in a statement.

They said the father had doubted Lama's virginity and had her checked up by a medic.
At age five?
Randa al-Kaleeb, a social worker from the hospital where Lama was admitted, said the girl's back was broken and that she had been raped "everywhere", according to the group.

According to the victim's mother, hospital staff told her that her "child's rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed."

The activists said that the judge had ruled the prosecution could only seek "blood money (compensation for the next of kin under Islamic law) and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama's death suffices as punishment."

Three Saudi activists, including Manal al-Sharif, have raised objections to the ruling.

The ruling is based on Islamic laws that a father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives, activists said.

#9  According to my son who became a Jew to marry the woman of his dreams they're not supposed to eat pork.

Not supposed to, AlanC, but quite a few don't keep kosher. That's not make or break for the religion.

#6  Interesting studies and research have been going on for sometime with regard to sign-language and pre-speech developed toddlers. I'm waiting for someone to document fetal signals and communications from the womb.

#4  TW, from all I've seen and read Dr. Jasser sounds like an apostate. Sort of the same thing as a pro-abortion Catholic or pork eating Jew.

Now, I'm not comparing Dr. J's activity with abortion just the deviation from the received wisdom of the faith.

My feeling is that the only good Muslim is not a good muslim.

Do you have any Moslem friends and neighbors? Take a good look at them. See if they celebrate the Fourth of July at all.
Bet you they don't. What do you bet?

you don't have to do a thing, just take a look at them next fourth of July. I know Christmas....but what about the 4th of July? Ever seen any USMC bumper sticker on their car in the driveway? No?
