Fayhan al-Ghamdi raped and tortured to death 5 year old daughter - gets light sentence
Celebrity Saudi preacher 'raped' and tortured his five-year-old daughter to death
- Lama al-Ghamdi's back was broken and she had been raped and burned
- She died in October from her injuries after ten months in hospital
- Her father Fayhan al-Ghamdi, a prominent Islamist preacher, admitted beating her but was freed after agreeing to pay £31,000 compensation
Lama al-Ghamdi had a crushed skull, broken arms, burns, a broken back and had been raped. Probably by 'daddy dearest'. He admitted doing what he did because he 'doubted the virginity' of this five year old child. (if she wasn't a virgin it was because HE raped her, I'm sure!). The judge in the case said that the famous Muslim preacher only had to pay a 'blood money' fine. Oh, and the 'blood money' fine for the death of this innocent little girl is only half that if it had been a boy.
This 'man of god' deserves to rot in hell for eternity.
Same story carried in Huffington Post
This Shariah manual also garners respect in the USA. Dr. Alan Godlas, Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Georgia, calls it a "carefully translated manual of the proper practice of Islam (shari'a) according to the Shafi'i madh'hab. It has been an essential book in the library of any serious English speaking Muslim or scholar of Islam since its publication in 1991." In Book O, titled "Justice," in section 1, "Who is Subject to Retaliation for Injurious Crimes," section o1.1 reads, "Retaliation is obligatory ... against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right...": However, o1.2 clarifies that "The following are not subject to retaliation" and then lists — after the lovely, egalitarian "Muslim for killing a non-Muslim" and "Jewish or Christian subject ... for killing an apostate" — " a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring".

As usual, the ever-so-righteous ATS Christians flock to this thread in order to 1) preach about how superior their religion is, and 2) with extreme irony, wish for the exact same horrific punishments inflicted upon him, that he inflicted upon that little girl.
This happened because he is a SICK individual. The culture is very sick as well -
Believe it or not, there is nothing in Islamic holy texts which in any way justifies what he did.

What kind of a person would 'torture' a child.

Hey , I am from Buddhist country, Myanmar . There are no such thing of Monk raping and killing any young girl in our country history .
Stop spewing hate. In Theravada Buddhism If there are even minor disobedience , even if a monk even drink or lie , they are forever banned to be a monk again. If a monk commit a crime , he is punished more severely than normal people.
Child rape and sex abuse surface in US Buddhist temples
According to a July 24 article in the Chicago Tribune, Theravada Buddhist monks are walking away from sex abuse accusations and temple superiors are frustrating law enforcement by insisting they have no control over monks' actions or whereabouts.
Shortly after that meeting, one of the monks sent a letter to the girl's family, saying the temple's monastic community had resolved the matter, the lawsuit says. The "wrong doer had accepted what he had done," wrote P. Boonshoo Sriburin, and within days would "leave the temple permanently" by flying back to Thailand. "We have done our best to restore the order," the letter said.
But 11 years later, the monk, Camnong Boa-Ubol, serves at a temple in California, where he says he interacts with children even as he faces a second claim, supported by DNA, that he impregnated a girl in the Chicago area.
Sriburin acknowledges that restoring order did not involve stopping Boa-Ubol from making the move to California. And it did not involve issuing a warning to the temple there. Wat Dhammaram didn't even tell its own board of directors what happened with the monk, he said.
"We have no authority to do anything. … He has his own choice to live anywhere," Sriburin said.
A second lawsuit against Boa-Ubol and the temple was brought by a woman who claims the monk sexually assaulted her back in the 1990s when she was 14 and fathered a child on her. DNA tests have verified that the monk is the father.
A Google search indicates that Camnong Boa-Ubol resides in a temple in Long Beach, CA. Despite the allegations and the lawsuits, no charges have been filed against him and the temple still allows him to provide instruction to children and others.
This is not the only case involving Theravada monks and temples though. The Tribune also reported on a monk charged with sexual assault against a 16-year old girl in Harris County, Texas:
The charges came in January after a 16-year-old girl confided in her high school counselor that the monk had been having sex with her for months, according to the complaint. Sgt. William Lilly, of the Harris County sheriff's office, said he visited the temple in search of the monk after the teen's outcry and "just got the sense they weren't going to help." Days later, the monk's attorney announced his client had fled and was believed to be in Cambodia. Where is the monk now? The temple's president could not say.
Another case, this one involving two sisters sexualy assaulted by a monk in Pomona, California in the 1990s, had a different outcome: The monk in California landed in prison after his convictions for sexual assault of the sisters and sexual assault of a child, court records show. The sisters also had success with a civil suit. It described the monk as "a serial rapist who seductively wrapped himself in the robes of religious office" and alleged that other temple officials played a "role in the cover-up and the attempted flight from justice." The court found multiple parties guilty of negligence, including the operator of a California temple where the assaults of the sisters took place, and a monk at another Theravada temple where the sisters were members.

Maybe you are not familiar with Shariah law, and the ruling "Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law". The book of law is It is certified by Al-Azhar University as a translation that "corresponds to the Arabic original and conforms to the practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni Community".
This Shariah manual also garners respect in the USA. Dr. Alan Godlas, Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Georgia, calls it a "carefully translated manual of the proper practice of Islam (shari'a) according to the Shafi'i madh'hab.

So there you have it, in black and white. According to Shariah Law, parents are not subject to retaliation when killing their offsprings, of their offspring's offspring, which goes a very long way in explaining why Muslims commit over 90% of "honor killings" world-wide.

I blame the man. I blame whatever Imam put into his head that he could do this and it was okay. I blame the system in Saudi Arabia that allows judges to let a monster like this get away with it.

Irksome .. isn't it?? Saudi Arabia gets a free pass by the press and by the world at large. The UN 'human rights' groups never go after things like this. Probably because of all the money Saudi Arabia has and because it isn't in their political agenda to do so.
