Riyadh - A prominent Saudi Arabian preacher who raped his 5-year-old daughter before torturing her to death has been spared a death sentence or even a lengthy prison term after agreeing to pay "blood money" to the slain girl's mother. Fayhan al-Ghamdi, a former drug addict who rose to national prominence as an Islamic television preacher, was arrested last November and charged with brutally raping and torturing 5-year-old Lama al-Ghamdi to death. According to a medical report, the little girl had been tortured with whips, electric shocks and an iron. She had broken arms, a broken back and a fractured skull. She died on October 22. According to social worker Randa al-Kaleeb, Lama had been raped "everywhere." Hospital staff told the girl's mother that her "daughter's rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed," Agence France-Presse reports. It wasn't the first time that al-Ghamdi abused his daughter. Last April, he was accused of torturing her so badly that her skull was fractured and she sustained brain damage. Al-Ghamdi was jailed for a short period, but the judge ruled that the prosecution could only seek to compel him to pay "blood money" to Lama's mother. That, combined with time served, led to the killer's freedom. In Saudi Arabia, a US ally, people are executed by public beheading for apostasy (renouncing Islam), blasphemy, witchcraft, sorcery, adultery, homosexuality and prostitution. But under the strict brand of Islamic law practiced in the kingdom, men cannot be executed for killing their wives or children. Read more: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/342697#ixzz2JsPlYoEb

This is sick Mike. Par for the course for Muslims though. Obama is a Muslim you know that.
This story does not involve President Obama, who is a Christian. It shows how distorted and unjust Saudis are in terms of their legal system. I would note too that some of the offenses they kill people for are the same you loathe people for and are highly intolerent of.
Sorry, I live in a fact based world, and he is a Christian, quite obviously.
Jesus said he is the one and only way. Obama says there are many ways. You witches sure do lie a lot.
You call me a follower of a figure from your religion, not mine. That is what living away from the facts does to people. You just live to bait and to try to bully. If anyone is not a Christain yet says they are, it's you; not President Obama.
You are to dumb to know you worship Satan.

You are too stupid to realize the President is a Christian. Not to mention that Satan and Jesus never existed.
