For all you Islamophobes out there: a taste of Saudi Sharia Law.

The next time someone accuses you of being a xenophobe for having concerns about the growing influence of Sharia Law, tell them this little story:

“A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals whether they would punitively damage a man’s spinal cord after he was convicted of attacking another man with a cleaver and paralysing him, local newspapers reported today.

Saudi Arabia enforces strict sharia law and occasionally metes out punishments based on the ancient code of an eye for an eye.

Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was left paralysed after a fight more than two years ago, and asked a judge to impose an equivalent punishment on his attacker under sharia law, reports said.”

Let me ask you: do you really want this kind of thing covered under “Religious Freedom”? Some European countries already let Muslim communities implement Sharia Law within their groups. Not something I would want to see happen in America.

Reminds me of that old joke about paranoia: you’re not paranoid if someone really is out to get you. Is it possible that you’re not an Islamophobe if Islam really is scary?

Here’s another example that should cause some folks from California to think twice:

2 gay men killed in Iraq after Shiite cleric condemns gays

apnews.myway.com — BAGHDAD (AP) – The bodies of two gay men have been found in Baghdad’s Shiite slum of Sadr City after a leading cleric repeatedly condemned homosexuality, an Iraqi police official said Saturday.

The killings come after Shiite cleric Sattar al-Battat repeatedly condemned homosexuality during recent Friday prayers, saying Islam prohibits homosexuality

This might sound insensitive, but I have to laugh when I see “Progressives” who express outrage over Christians daring to voice their view that homosexuality is not just another option, but say nothing – nothing! – about Islams harsh punitive system.

Maybe they are afraid to say anything…
