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.
So we should take your word on that? An admitted satanist. No his words and actions say otherwise. So Mike you believe everyone who says they are Christian is one? You sure are dumb.
"Sorry, I live in a fact based world, and he is a Christian, quite obviously." "So we should take your word on that? An admitted satanist. No his words and actions say otherwise. So Mike you believe everyone who says they are Christian is one? You sure are dumb." You're a LIAR, Mike, and not even a good one. The only thing 'obvious' here is, you condone and excuse his un-christian deeds, you turn away from his excuses for murdering babies and innocent women and children with his assassination drones..Jesus, Mike, have you seen their pitiful little burned and mutilated bodies? There is NOTHING Christian in what this evil creature is doing to this country, and every country he targets with them. If there was a decent bone in your body that cared anything about the sanctity of LIFE, and I am sure now you don't have one, you would condemn him too, yet you defend him, WHY? No president in my lifetime has ever publically declared war on Christianity, tearing it down, scripture by scripture, mocking Gods word and changing His word to satisfy their every perversion and dirty deeds, while at the same time, building up and glorifying to the world how wonderful the religion of Islam is, how tolerant and peaceful, ooozing tolerance and dignity than this person who calls himself, by an Islamic name, Hussein Obama. Obama is an Abomination, a spawn of Satan himself, he's evil, vile and the most dangerous person to ever sit in our White House, and the sooner we find some way to throw him out, the better, American lives depend on it, innocent women and children targetted in foreign nations by his drones continue to die....those who look the other way, hide their eyes, deny it's happening, or those who attempt to make pathetic excuses for this evil corruption, destrustion, death and suffering, are just as evil and filthy as he it. JMHO! Obama Releases Ad Touting His ‘Christian Faith’ & Claiming He’s Leading America ‘With Faith Values’ Nov. 4, 2012 10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity #1 "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation" #2 "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation." #3 "Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?" #4 "Even those who claim the Bible's inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages - the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ's divinity - are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life." #5 "The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics." #6 From Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope: "I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex—nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount." #7 "I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can't imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That's just not part of my religious makeup." #8 "Those opposed to abortion cannot simply invoke God’s will--they have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths." #9 On his support for civil unions for gay couples: "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount." #10 "I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people." *************************************************** 10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Islam #1 "Islam has always been part of America" #2 "we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities" #3 "These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings." #4 "America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings." #5 "So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed" #6 "Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality" #7 "As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith." #8 "I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month." #9 "That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." #10 "I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story."
A statement of opinion based on very good evidence such as President Obama going to church, belonging to a church, and constant reference to his faith is no lie. Get your shit straight.
