Travel Info How does 'Saudi Arabia' punish "sodomites"? Travel Tips Male homosexuality in Saudi Arabia is punishable by death. The Islamic Penal Law Against Homosexuals, approved in July 1991 and ratified in November of that year, states in Article 110: "Punishment for sodomy is killing; the shari'a judge decides on how to carry out the killing." Lesbians are given more leniency 鈥?to a point. Article 129: "Punishment for lesbianism is 100 lashes for each party." But Article 131 adds, "If the act of lesbianism is repeated three times and punishment is enforced each time, the death sentence will be issued the fourth time." Last year in Saudi Arabia, six homosexual men were executed on charges of deviant sexual behavior. Some were flogged beforehand. In addition to the Koran, many hadiths condemn liwat, or homosexual intercourse. Quote: "When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shakes. Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to." Beheadings are taking place on Fridays. Non Muslims (Westerners) mostly will be deported after serving time in jail. Take care. Others They are beheaded publicly in special killing places in Saudi and then they are strung up in a tree by their neck for a week so everyone can see the dead person. Lesbians also get killed however they're whipped like 130 times first and then killed if they continue to commit the sin. Then they talk about the dead person on TV, saying their name and why the crime they committed to get killed. Americans and other westerners who are homosexuals are thrown in jail for like 3 months and then deported. |
