| Saudi judge 'busted with hash' |
| 2008-08-04 |
| A SAUDI judge who served as head of an Islamic court has reportedly been arrested in the Gulf emirate of Dubai on charges of possessing and using drugs. Hamad Salim bin Naif, who served as head of a sharia court in Saudi Arabia, was arrested along with his Moroccan wife after police raided their room in a Dubai hotel on Friday and found four grams of hashish in his possession, the Khaleej Times reported. The judge confessed that he and his wife take drugs and said he brought the confiscated hashish from Saudi Arabia for their personal use, the English-language newspaper reported, citing a Dubai police source. |

| #2 No way this is about the hash. This is power politics; someone wanted the judge out of he way, but who? and why? and do we care? |

| #1 Four years in prison is the usual sentence for possession Why am I thinking that they'll make an exception for this guy? Isn't hash a traditional arabic treat? Cant imagine it being illegal there, oh, wait, it could lead to fun, maybe even fornication, no wonder it's illegal. |
