Is it not contrary to the hypocratic oath to undertake judicial mutilation?

Eye for an eye is not valid anymore.Study the law in western countries before making judgments and being a judge.
3. Saudi savages

People that harm or kill others, should have the same done to them.

There is no legal obligation to swear the Hippocratic Oath,only 50% of British Medical personnel do..I find it hard to believe that any Muslim would swear an oath to Greek gods
6. # 4 Damn wrong!

I hope you are never responsible for someone's accidental death, by car, neglect or whatever malady or circumstance may befall any of us. There is a difference between 'kill' and to 'murder.' The correct wording in the 10 Commandments is 'Thou shalt not murder,' not the word kill. Murder is malice a fore thought, to kill ( as in war or self defense ) is not and the rules of the engagements of the law and punishments are in the book of Leviticus, please acquaint yourself with them, they are quite distinctively apart and different. Judge not. ( so carelessly )
7. yeah, yeah, eye for an eye
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (04.03.13)
I love these Islamic idiots who don't know what it means. Too bad they did not learn the talmud, baba kama, where it explains what it means and why it can not mean literally an eye for an eye. bunch of idiots, trying to act as if they are G-d's chosen people and are really a group of fools who act like terrorists.

Don't let our savage in the White House hear you say that. After all he did bow down to their king.
9. Didn't we invent the idea ?

10. A smart lawyer would say.......
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (04.03.13)
A smart lawyer would say that the man should receive only one punishment for his crimes. The state has had him in prison for 10 years since the age of 14. Because of that he lost on the chance to earn enough money to pay compensation to his victim for his crime. Therefore, the state should either compensate him for his time spent in prison in order for him to pay for stabbing his friend because he wasn't able to earn money in the prime of his youth because of prison OR the state should count the 10 years spent in prison as a sentence served with no additional punishment. I don't know how long he has in his prison sentence, he could not be done with it. OR The state could compensate him and his family for time spent in prison for the amount they are demanding him to pay his victim and then paralyze him. Though that would be the least preferable option.
11. #1: We're talking Arab "medical care"
Carl ,   USA   (04.03.13)
Sure normal doctors would find that abhorrent, but the Arab world is a whole different ball game from medicine in the West, having seen some of that first hand! Not to mention that Saudi Arabia has both a king and that wonderful sharia "law," so the Western concept of personal choice and individual freedom is entirely irrelevant.

Of course they didn't study the the Talmud Baba Kama..They went straight to Torat ha-Melekh for inspirational modern ideas..
