Traditional Islamic law is very tough I heard. If someone steals, he gets his hand cut off. If a man rapes a woman or child, he is castrated. If a woman is unfaithful, she is stoned to death. Yikes. Barbaric, huh?

G'day koldkanuck, Thank you for your question. They can have their hands cut off, providing that it meets the following criteria: * The thief must be adult and sane. * There must have been criminal intent to take private (not common) property. * The theft must not have been the product of hunger, necessity, or duress. * The goods stolen must: be over a minimum value, not haraam, and not owned by the thief's family. * Goods must have been taken from custody (i.e. not in a public place). * There must be reliable witnesses (two men or one man and two women). The punishment is not imposed if the thief repents. I have attached a source for your reference. Regards Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia#Penalties

Islamic Law System The Islamic law system is based off what they believe and a “level” system. *Obligatory, meaning required. *Recommended. *Neutral. *Disproved upon. *Forbidden. One obligatory law is the five pillars. If one does not do this they are “punished” by God or the state. In most Muslim countries if you don’t fast during the Ramadan you are most likely to get a very large fine or imprisonment. Dress and behavior are needed as well. Most laws are not obligatory and people who break these rules are very rarely punished. The acts that are clearly illegal are mentioned in the Quran a book from which they rely on for their rules and punishments. These laws include gambling, adultery, eating pork, drinking alcoholic beverages, and cheating. The crimes such as theft, murder, and adultery have very serious punishments. The Quran wants to lessen these laws. Which I guess is pretty nice. ~Ashley H.
