A Muslim forced to clean mosques for skipping prayers.

[Sam_777]

Riyadh, 18 Nov. (AKI) - A Saudi civil court has ordered an Asian immigrant to clean mosques next month during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca after religious police caught him skipping Friday prayers several times, Saudi daily al-Watan reports. The man will have to clean five mosques along the highway into Mecca twice daily for eleven days, the court ruled.

The Ministry of Islamic Affairs will be tasked with checking if the immigrant obeys the court order. If he fails to do so, the court has warned that he will be tried before a criminal court.

Instead of handing out custodial sentences, a number of Saudi judges have recently ordered minor offenders to clean buildings and cars, memorise the Koran (the Muslim holy book) or do community work.

Earlier this month, a judge ordered a young man to memorise part of the Koran and 40 sayings of the Prophet Mohammed as a punishment for appearing in public with a woman who was not a relative.

Slavery, humiliation, discrimination…, WHAT RELIGION IS THAT!!!:dts:

But as Lord Jesus said:
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” (Matthew 7:15-16).
And Saudis are his fruit. :sad_yes:

And as its written in (Genesis 16:11-12):
“The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
And Saudis are his descendants. :sad_yes:

Thank GOd that they did not beat him or stone him.

Maybe he will learn not to live in SA if he can help it.

I agree. Then again, though not perfect, this actually shows how serious the Muslims are when it comes to professing the religion. Unlike Catholics, they take cafeterianism more seriously.

And Muslims call Christians evil. Some even point to the Crusaders as proof, yet how much evil is being done in this day and age by those who profess to believe in Allah and Mohammed as his prophet? By the fruits you will know the tree.

But you can’t judge a forest by a tree.

If there is no compulsion in religion, how do you make him pray?

 

[MugenOne]

Islam is so insecure that its followers have to result to threat in order to get people to stay straight and narrow.

Stoning is reserved for other sin.

I was asking this before - since sin is already paid for on earth, does it mean when the person dies, she / he will not be punished anymore for it by Allah?

With the wealth from their oil, it’s inevitable people from poorer countries flock there to earn honest living. We hope that their dignity is still respected and not abused for it

 

[inJESUS]

But what are they basing their punishments on? based on what do they say if someone skips prayer, he must be punished, and in this way?

Didn’t Sam already start a thread identical to this one a week or so ago? Or… is this the same one he started a week ago?

Whatever.

I don’t see how making someone clean a mosque makes him evil. Or making him memorize the Qur’an.

Calling people witches and burning them to death, though…

Of the punishments for offenses that I have seen from SA, I like this one better than most.

THis is the same thread, I think
