Woden Tradies Rolled. The rise of the machete

Wow. My whole first post was full of typos. Disappointing effort, Mysteryman.

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t aware of the criminal activity taking place in Canberra. I know it’s always been happening, but knowing about it makes me feel like this place is getting worse.

Once they catch them, perhaps cutting off one of their hands would suffice as a deterent to them and others?

Bit extreme perhaps…………?

I’m comfortable with that.

Wow, fans of sharia law are we?

Gee, is that what it is called? I was thinking more on a practical level than that.

But, hey, knock yourself out.

That should read:

*and is not defined by the punishment*

Typo.

There’s a big difference between Sharia law and increasing the penalty for our existing laws. Sharia refers to the code of conduct expected of Muslims and it’s defined by the punishment. There was a time when criminals in non-Islamic societies wee also punished by having their hands cut of. It had nothing to do with Sharia law.

I think the prospect of loosing ones hand would be a much better deterrent for theft than our current system. One of the upsides is that the crook could only commit theft twice before it was literally impossible to do it again! 😉

So, why are we so against Shariah law, you seem to be all for it?
