Although the Saudi government has taken some measures to participate in human rights activities, such as allowing a visit by the U.N. Human Rights envoy, it continued to view its interpretation of Islamic law as its "sole source of guidance on human rights," and does not follow international standards on the issue, the report said.

Accordingly, the government punished criminals according to its interpretation of Sharia law with methods considered torture by international standards.

Hmmm, I thought Islam was a peaceful religion and only fanatics use torture and violence to enforce its law.

So many myths, so little time.

Very good points and ones that we must keep a closer eye on. We should be looking for few countries under sharia law, yet it would seem that there are those elements that would expand sharia law.

Islam is a peaceful religion as long as you dont bad mouth it...then its the boot to the neck for you.

Well they did say it was the Saudis. Rich fanatics, but fanatics none the less.
