DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- A Pakistani man faces death by stoning in the United Arab Emirates for committing adultery with four of his stepdaughters, a local daily reported on Friday.

In the first case of its kind in the UAE, the Federal Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence issued by an Islamic sharia court in the emirate of Ajman.

Police arrested the man, after his youngest and fifth stepdaughter reported the case when he refused to let her marry a local man.

The man, who had 11 children from illicit relationships with his four stepdaughters, admitted his guilt but said he was the father of only some of the children.

The four stepdaughters had been sentenced and received 80 lashes each.

go

The girls received 80 lashes? That's twisted and unjust.

I once saw a video of a stoning. I felt so bad for the people who were being stoned, I almost threw up

Stoning? I'm sure it's not as bad as it sounds.

What a pervert, serves him right....ppl like that make me sick

Serves him right, but the girls shouldn't be beaten. I sound sexist ;D

I saw a stoning video, it is bad. Having big and small rocks thrown at you til you die, while you buried up to your neck in dirt.

Savages..

being stoned, maaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnn sounds cool!!

Theocracy: ain't it great?

I am sure it would be cool if it was one of your family members being killed in this way. Wouldn't be to funny then would it.

so, who cares about this fool!! he wants to puff away, i say puff away

Real nice to make fun of someones painful death. Karma is a bit**.

dont call my wife a bi***

before any body starts this.....

the stoning / victim lashing is not related to religion.




having said that, why are the girls (victim) sentenced to lashing?

well in england the law protect the criminals! its a cwazy world we live in!! get use to it,

From the cited article:
"In the first case of its kind in the UAE, the Federal Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence issued by an Islamic sharia court in the emirate of Ajman, the English-language Gulf News reported."

This is why, in the US, we don't have religious courts. Our government is specifically free from religion and religious zealotry.
Or cruel and unusual sentences.

as I said it is not related to 'that' religion. They are doing their own misinterpreted version of 'that' religion.

How does someone in the right mind would sentence the victim as well? I get raped, srewed up and down then gets 80 lashes? come on!!! These very same gals will one day group up wanting to flatten the entire UAE with nuke bombs!

because no one said they were raped, comes off as consentual to me..

and how young could the girls be if he has 11 children with em? it's morally wrong but i dont think there are any laws in America that prevent a man from sleepin with his full grown step daughters. apparently all 5 of them are criminals in UAE though..

personally, i don't know whats worse.. 80 lashes or bein stoned to death.
