the Holy Bible?
If you started to read the Holy Bible ,perhaps a fate worst than death awaits you? That's if you are living in the Muslim/Arab world . Take Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia continues to use barbaric methods of execution claiming they are justified by the Quran and its traditions.
THE oppressive kingdom of Saudi Arabia has some of the most barbaric and bizarre punishments in the world.
Public beheading, amputations,stoning, eye for an eye retribution and crucifixion all form part of the ruthless and medieval justice system.
The country still has the trappings of one caught in a altogether different era, particularly when it comes to its justice system.
Stoning remains a punishment for adultery for women in Saudi Arabia.
According to one witness, the accused are put into holes and then have rocks tipped on them from a truck.
In 2015 a married 45-year-old woman, originally from Sri Lanka, who was working as a maid in Riyadh, was sentenced to death by stoning.
Her partner, who was single and also from Sri Lanka, was given a punishment of 100 lashes after being found guilty of the same offence.
Stoning as a punishment in Saudi Arabia is reserved for those who have been charged with adultery. The perpetrator would be buried up to their chest or knees, people would throw stones until the condemned is confirmed dead. Though it is a legal form of punishment in Saudi Arabia,non have been done recently.
Stoning is also a legal punishment in Pakistan, northern Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Mauritania, and Yemen. Out of these counties, stoning have occurred in Iran, Pakistan and Somalia, although the stoning in Pakistan have been outside the legal system. There are a few other countries in which stoning are not condoned by national legislation, but sentences have been carried out at a regional level or by tribal groups.
