They grew up and lived there, so they would probably know. There may be some areas that do indeed still practise that, but the bottom-line is, prior to the war, her point is the crime rate was very low because crime wasn't tolerated like it is in the USA where murderers get off free on ridiculous technicalities, like this here: mercurynews.com DA loses round in murder case JUDGE DISALLOWS KEY CLUE IN SLAYING OF JEANINE HARMS By Connie Skipitares Mercury News The case against Nasmeh -- who met Harms for the first time in a Campbell bar on the night she disappeared and is the last person known to have seen her alive -- hinges on fibers found in the cargo area of his Jeep during that search. Investigators say those fibers match a yarn crafts project that Harms had worked on in her home in Los Gatos, as well as fibers found on Harms' area rug, which police believe was used in disposing of her body. (police) kept it (the suspects car) for 24 days. It should have taken only one or two days to conduct the entire search, Condron wrote, ``and no justification was given for the additional 22 days that the defendant was deprived of use and possession of the Jeep.''Had the officers needed more time, they could have asked So, they'll probably toss a case out because the judge didn't like how the police kept the car for 22 days. Go figure! Meanwhile, it's perfectly okay to spy on innocent people at town meetings in Santa Cruz, while it's not okay to search a murderers car. Hypocrits. mercurynews.com

According to friends, prior to the US taking over Iraq, a thief would have their hand cut off for stealing. You're friends are wrong. That's sharia law as practiced in Saudi Arabia. I wonder how effective those laws are. It would be interesting if the rape rate is not that much different between the US and Saudi Arabia. Even death does not deter the rapist?
