"Of the ten nations that have the highest crimes rates, 8 are christian nations. None are Islamic"
i'm an atheist/agnostic/apathetic
social liberal
moderately conservative on fiscal and military issues (and crime)
and my response;
perhaps the reason christian nations have higher crime rates than islamic nations is because in islamic nations you get one chance at crime and then they start chopping off hands and heads while in christian nations they tend to give you a few years in jail and then release you to commit MORE crimes?
just a thought
Yes, it is just a thought.
Let us know when you have a fact
ok
Top ten reasons why sharia is bad for all societies -- Islam and human rights
6. Islam commands that highway robbers should be crucified or mutilated.
In September 2003, Scotsman Sandy Mitchell faced crucifixion in Saudi Arabia. He was beaten and tortured until he confessed to a crime he did not commit: a bomb plot masterminded by the British embassy. The article says of this punishment that it is the worst kind of execution and that two have been carried out in the last twenty years.
In 2002 Amnesty International reports that even though Saudi Arabia ratified the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention against Torture) in October 1997, amputation is prescribed under both Hudud (punishments) and Qisas (law of retaliation). Amnesty International has recorded thirty-three amputations and nine cross-amputations where the alternate hand or foot is mutilated.
In 2002, in Iran, a man was sentenced to have his right hand and left foot amputated for theft with special circumstances.
In 2003, in Sudan a sixteen-year-old boy has been sentenced to have his right hand and left foot amputated for highway robbery.
