It may well have taken the intervention of the Saudi royal family to ensure this vile man remains in prison, but this case has caused an outrage in the middle east and at least they did intervene and have started some tentative steps in setting up some child protection lines. I know this is woefully inadequate but for a country like Saudi Arabia it is a massive step, and must be as such however much we might wish them to catapult themselves towards our way of thinking they wont, it will be a very long process for women and girls to achieve an equal status there, and tragic though that is we must be patient.
YMF, do you really worry that child rapists might be let off with a fine, women not be allowed to drive, adulteresses stoned to death, people beheaded, thieves mutilated, and men divorce their wives (of which they have three) by saying 'talaq!' thrice, in this country?
If not , which parts of Islamic, Sharia, law and "justice" do you fear will come to this country (and why?)

sharia law is already here. http://
it could be the thin end of the wedge, it's just a short step to "persuading" the islamic community not to involve the UK legal authorities in matters that concern only muslims. if these sharia councils were already hearing serious matters, eg, deciding to release child rapists on payment of blood money, how would UK authorities know?

Saw this too. Obviously to be welcomed is the intervention by the Saudi Royal Family to overrule the judgement from the original trial and to ensure that this preacher will spend a significant amount of time in jail.
Not sure that it represents the beginning of the enlightenment just yet, unfortunately. They have done nothing to put in motion a review of the laws that allow father to kill daughter or husband to kill wife with impunity.
The only reason they acted, it seems to me, was because a snall internal group of protestors used social media and other avenues. The story went viral, and international, and the country was roundly condemned by the international community for barbarism and injustice.
This suggests PR and crisis management to me, by the House of Saud - not a genuine recognition of the failings of their legal system and an earnest desire for reform......

Agreed LG. Still, I guess we have to take the fact they've been embarrassed enough to do something about this individual case as a positive.
