Angry Tip of the Day: Thieves and Islamic Law

I'm all for it.

Quote:
Under the sharia, repeated theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand, administered under anesthetic...if the thief repents and makes restitution before the case is brought before a judge, the punishment can be reduced; furthermore, the victim can demand recompense rather than punishment or can grant a pardon...Aggravated theft can be punished by cross-amputation of a hand and a foot.
