Shows if you are going to convert, there is no point being half-assed, you have to go the whole way or else.

Intruders whip Silverwater man, 31, for drinking

A MAN who was whipped 40 times in a home invasion said his Muslim attackers were punishing him for drinking alcohol, prohibited under Sharia law.
The man, 31, was lashed with an electrical cable by four heavily bearded men who broke into his bedroom in outer western Sydney about 1am on Sunday.
Three of them, in their late teens or early 20s, held him on his bed while a fourth, aged 40-50, lashed him with a cable about 40 times over 30 minutes.
The victim, a recent Islamic convert known only as Christian, told Auburn police he recognised the Wahabi Muslims from his local mosque.
They were punishing him for having a few drinks with friends, he told the Seven Network last night.
He said he was living in fear after the attack, which left him covered in welts.
Members of Sydney's Muslim community condemned the alleged assault.
This criminal act has no place in Islam. As Australian Muslims we are required to follow Australian law, not take the law into our own individual hands," said Ahmed Kilami, from the Muslim Village.

"I hope these guys are caught and face the full force of the law."

Police said they were investigating the attack.

"I hope these guys are caught and face the full force of the law."

YES AGAIN.
And if they are not aussie citizens back on the boat home.

[Pol the Pot]

They should put "Christian" on the boat to somewhere for crass stupidity. Did he think he would get away with breaking Sharia law?

Typical hypocritical religious nut is Christian

[harrybarracuda]

If he chose to convert to islam, there is the suspicion of mental retardation as well.

[dirtydog]

It's probably time good Christians in Australia went back to the old testament and done things that way, get the 4 mussies and do an eye for an eye, stone the buggers to death.

Don't sound like they will pay much, first one released on bail, complainant not wanting to co operate with police. Aggravated burglry carry's a life sentence, what's the bet they get off with a fine. Jim

There is no place here for sharia, says Scipione


THE NSW Police Commissioner, Andrew Scipione, made it clear where he stood on Islamic law as practised in Australia. ''When it comes to sharia … I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is no place in Australia for sharia law, full stop,'' he said.
But the reality for Muslims might not be so clear cut. From the religious requirements for divorce to issues around seeking a loan, the detailed religious regulatory system of all aspects of life is practised by many in the diverse Islamic community.
A Melbourne University professor of Islamic studies, Abdullah Saeed, said far from the stereotypical cutting off of hands or floggings, sharia in Australia sought to harmonise religious laws - such as the prohibition of alcohol, adultery or theft - within those of the state.

'We are not talking about punishment, we are talking about basic ethical moral norms and values that observant Muslims observe by and large in their day-to-day life.'' The alleged case of a Sydney man being whipped for drinking alcohol would only ''reinforce this negative stereotypical view of sharia that many people have.
''Even in Muslim-majority countries these punishments cannot be implemented by individuals, or by groups.''
Jamila Hussain, a lecturer in Islamic law at the University of Technology, said sharia criminal law did not operate in Australia, but the Islamic system could govern other aspects of life. ''Some people just have a religious marriage rather than having a secular marriage, [and] the only way they can undo that is by going to a religious authority,'' she said.
In Good and Bad Sharia: Australia's Mixed Response to Islamic Law, published in the University of NSW Law Journal, Queensland academics Ann Black and Kerrie Sadiq note that the government is seeking to allow sharia-compliant investments and banking in Australia through tax law changes.

And I thought I was out of shape



It's just as hard to leave Islam as it is for those LA gang members to quit ,
which tell you all you need to know about it...

[Kurgen]

The victim, a recent Islamic convert known only as Christian,

Is that his Christian name

[Cujo]

I bet he disconverts real quick.

[Agent_Smith]

^They'll kill him for that.

[Cujo]

^ That's the way to discourage converts.
Keep it up lads.
