Saudi preacher who allegedly raped and killed 5-year-old daughter stirs anger
Lama, late daughter of the Saudi preacher.
A Saudi religious scholar who raped his five-year-old daughter and tortured her to death has been ordered to pay "blood money" to the mother following a short term in jail, members of female rights group, Women to Drive, said on Saturday.
A statement released by the group said the man's daughter, Lama, was admitted to hospital on 25 December 2011 having sustained multiple injuries including a crushed skull, a broken arm and ribs and extensive bruising and burns.
According to the victim's
mother, hospital staff told her that her "child's rectum had been torn
open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed".
Lama died in October 2012.Despite the brutality of the crime, the activists say a judge has ruled: "Blood money and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama's death suffices as punishment."
The group claim the ruling is based on national laws in Saudi that a father cannot be executed for murdering his children as husbands cannot be executed for murdering their wives.
In the trial the father, who is a regular guest on Islamic television networks, reportedly confessed to using cables and a cane to inflict Lama's injuries.
Three Saudi activists, including Manal al-Sharif, who in 2011 challenged Saudi laws that prevent women from driving, have raised objections to the ruling.

I find this to be a vary disturbing story. How can the law of any country allow a person to commit such a crime and walk away after sitting in jail for a short time and paying £31,000. So if you have money in Saudi Arabia you can get away with murder. This my friends is what Sharia Law allows and that is why Sharia should not be allowed in countries that have not excepted it yet. One thing I do know is that this man will pay a heavy price when he stands before his Maker. In Hebrew "Lama" means "why" the true question here is WHY, why this little girl suffering under such a sadistic father? May God rest Lama's little precious soul and give her mother comfort.
