Saudi "Arabia": News of paralysis sentence “outrageous”

[DESERT FIGHTER]

stop the b.s. every country fixes a limit according to its living standards i.e inflation..an indian earning $50 dollars a day can live a kings life here compared to ur country..its ur country who decided that limit according to ur life standards..next time before commenting u must study a bit

And ur above poverty line is 1.25$ per day?

 

[Yzd Khalifa]

I doubt that regular Indians could make $50 a day back home LoL.

Plus, every country has a poverty rate which is quite understandable. For example, if you don't study or don't have any qualification, of course you will end up poor here and there.

And ur above poverty line is 1.45$ per day?

1.25 and according to 2010 stats it stands at 29.8% considering 1.5% decrease it would be about a quarter of our population

$50 dollars is just an example which is why i changed it to $10 dollars later..my point was a person earning the same wouldnot be living life of same standards.so its the govts who decide the limits

LOL, what the are you talking about?

My point is obviously that what is considered poor in KSA is considered very rich in India and most other countries. Hence why a "poor" in KSA cannot be considered poor overall looking at the bigger picture.

Sure, since the vast majority of Indians still are extremely poor and dozen of millions live in regular slums.

Also poverty is not a problem in KSA anyway which was my initial point. Just because KSA is a wealthy nation with the biggest economy in the Middle East it does not mean that all those who earn less than the majority are "poor" by the real definition of the word. No Saudi is starving to death like you see in many other places, among others India.

KSA has largely a welfare-state that India is completely lacking.

thats precisely im tryin to explain a limit for poor in ksa need not be the same in india.because the living standards are much lower here and even if an individual earns $10 dollars here he live better of compared to the same earner in ksa.because ge gets goods and services at much lower level.u were saying as if ur govt kept the poverty line much higher but ur govt fixes it according to the inflation in ur country..so u cant compare it with other countries like their limit is much lower..got what im tryn to say?

Well, I have been saying that all the time. So I don't think that we disagree. My point is that there are no "real" poor people in KSA by my definition of poverty - simple because they are 100 times better off than most poor people around the world. Also KSA is largely a welfare state. Nobody is starving to death. People are generous when it comes to the zakat (Islamic obligation) etc. I am not saying that no people in KSA have a hard time but mostly it is due to their own mistakes, bad luck or bad health.

Even the official poverty line/unemployment has been rapidly decreased in KSA and the economy is among the fastest growing in the world.

Just like India's poor eventually will cease to be considered (poor - as in starving) in a few decades or longer, but there will still be a lower social class. But whether they can be called poor - only time will tell.

Also I believe that the international society operates with one fixed global poverty line. A poor Senegalese man is obviously not comparable to a poor Swede. Other than the fact that both are considered poor by their countries standards. But on a bigger scale, when poverty is measured world wide the "poor" Swede will not be considered poor compared to the "real" poor people in let's say Gambia, Surinam, El Salvador, Somalia or India. To take some examples.

UK urges Saudi Arabia to withdraw sentencing a man to be paralysed | Pakistan Today | Latest news | Breaking news | Pakistan News | World news | Business | Sport and Multimedia

LONDON - The UK has urged Saudi Arabia not to carry out a reported sentencing of paralysis for a Saudi man as punishment for paralysing another man. A Foreign Office spokesperson said London was "deeply concerned" by the sentence,
describing it as "grotesque".

Such punishment was "prohibited under
international law", the official added. Saudi media reports earlier said the 24- year-old man could be paralysed from the waist down if he could not pay his victim £250,000 in compensation. Ali al-Khawahir was 14 when he stabbed a friend in the back in the Eastern Province town of al-Ahsa.

He has been in prisonfor 10 years. The judge in the case has reportedly interpreted the Islamic law of qisas, or retribution, that Saudi Arabia follows as meaning that he in turn could face being paralysed.

No it won't make the whole world Blind but only poor and weak so ghandi's statement is totally flawed...

 

[Peregrine]

If he will not be punished he will not realise the gravity of the crime he committed...........he might feel encouraged to commit more crimes if not punished....this purely is a Saudi matter and these western hypocrites need to butt out.

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

It doesn't make sense to get a man paralyzed over a crime he committed when he was 14 years old. What do you think guys?

 

[ResurgentIran]

^Omg REALLY??

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

The Government paid the victim and the case is closed.

The UK needs to keep its mouth shut as it did over the last few decades somewhere else ,otherwise their economy will collapse. The Brits are cowards anyway they dismissed two inquiries already.

As I thought, this wouldn't happen in KSA.

 

[Yzd Khalifa]

As I thought, this wouldn't happen in KSA.

And will never be. The Supreme Court will always dismiss such verdicts.
