2,080 lashes for Saudi man who raped daughter

I'm all for sentences of life without parole for raping a child, but 2,080 lashes over a 13 year period is not acceptable in Western jurisprudence. Or any lashes for that matter.

This case is however another lesson in just what Sharia law is capable of and what life under Sharia will be like in the West if we continue to allow the Muslim invasion to continue.

RIYADH: An official Saudi newspaper says a man convicted of raping his daughter has been sentenced to receive 2,080 lashes over the course of a 13-year prison term.

The court in the holy city of Mecca found the man guilty of raping his teenage daughter for seven years while under the influence of drugs.

The Okaz newspaper reported Saturday that the man will receive the lashes in stages throughout his prison sentence. The man's name was not published.

Saudi religious police say the girl's uncle tipped them off to the crime.

Lashing is one of the penalties available to the clerics who serve as judges in Saudi Arabia and issue rulings according to the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islamic law.
