Ever picked up a copy of Sharia law? OK, not rivetting reading for most of us, but next time you stroll into your local Islamic bookshop have a look at one (English translations are available).

Have a look at the section on punishment for adultery. It's death by stoning of course...but the interesting bit is the rule on how to stone a woman to death.

The text dictates that a woman must be placed in a trench in the ground before the process commences...so that if she happens to become 'exposed' or 'unclothed' during the barrage that she will not cause scandal to herself or the spectators. How thoughtful.

Dubai may be different (today)...but Iran used to be a liberal regime as well, until the Mullahs got a grip.

That's me well and truly Fatwah'd then.
