FAU Professor Praises Severing Hands Under Sharia Law | The Daily Caller
"At a panel discussion on Islam and terrorism at Florida Atlantic University, a professor on the taxpayer-funded school’s faculty praised the Sharia law practice of cutting off the hands of criminals who steal.
The words of wisdom concerning the notorious Islamic penal code came from Bassem Al Halabi, an electrical engineering and computer science professor at Florida Atlantic University. Florida
In countries in the Middle East where Sharia law is not practiced, Al Halabi said, people “die in dozens and hundreds every day because of organized crime.
People kill people — other people — for steal [sic] pizza for 10 dollars.
So when Islamic Sharia is saying about capital punishment — so even though it sounds very severe, but if that is the solution to prevent any crimes, then it still has a lot of rules and regulations.”
Al Halabi then defended cutting off criminals’ hands.
“I will just mention one and stop here, which is: let’s say cutting the hand off a person if they steal,” the Florida Atlantic professor continued.
“It sounds very severe.
It sounds very barbaric, I know.
But if it takes one or two people to have their hands cut off and then there’s no more stealing in the whole nation, that’s a much better resolution than having hundreds of people die every day.”
Al Halabi also assured attendees at the event that “Sharia is being practiced in the United States.”
“We at the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, we practice Sharia — if someone doesn’t know,” he said..."
