Under their law no rape occurred, since there weren't four adult male Muslims to witness the rape.

You probably think I'm joking.

I'm not.

Witness, or participate in?

Ahmadinejad was right -- you can't maintain a western gay identity in a culture where every guy fucks men.

"If convicted the Sheikh could be sentenced up to two years in prison."

Two. As in, one fewer than three.

Huh.

Will read part of a magazine article five years ago, so he thinks he's an expert on Sharia. He's not.

Lol. No, I'm basing it on articles I've read recently in Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and other media.

Sharia is practiced differently in different countries.

But, in essence, the witness requirement is true for rape in the most Islamist countries.

You may not like it, but it is what it is.

Got four adult male Muslim witnesses? Then you can get a conviction for rape.

Got three or less? Than the woman (or in this case the male) victim broke the law.

Gee, Will, are you sure the law is the same for male and female victims? What IS your professional legal position?

IANAL, but my brother plays one in NYC.
