DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Reuters) -- A Pakistani man faces death by stoning in the United Arab Emirates for committing adultery with four of his stepdaughters, a local daily reported on Friday.

In the first case of its kind in the UAE, the Federal Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence issued by an Islamic sharia court in the emirate of Ajman, the English-language Gulf News reported.

Police arrested the man, identified only as Abdul Aziz, in 2005 after his youngest and fifth stepdaughter reported the case when he refused to let her marry a local man, it said.

The man, who had 11 children from illicit relationships with his four stepdaughters, admitted his guilt but said he was the father of only some of the children, Gulf News said.

The four stepdaughters had been sentenced and received 80 lashes each, it added.

Like most Arab states, the UAE implements Islamic sharia laws, but rarely executes convicted criminals.

So, when do Woody Allen change his name to Abdul Aziz?

I'm guessing the mother didn't win The Mother of the Year Award for that year, or any year.
No Stepfather, or Father of the Year Award here either.

Gee... wasn't Dubai supposed to be a model of moderate Muslims?

That is moderate for the Middle Eastearn Muslim world. They're executing the man instead of horsewhipping and jailing the stepdaughters. ;)

Was sarcasm Iron Jaw, I know UAE is close to the best thing the Islamic world has going for it....

But also to point out... the article says: The four stepdaughters had been sentenced and received 80 lashes each, it added.

They got whipped but good. Bet they don't let the next stepdad have his way.

I missed that part. That's what I get for skimming through it.:(

So the UAE is......status quo in that regard......but they did punish the stepdad.;)

My bartender tonight was a Muslim. She's been going to college here and took a job tending bar and also likes to party a bit.
Now she's actually scared for herself. She left a digital camera when she visited her parents and her mom found a picture of her sitting at a bar, then told her dad. Obviously they don't know she tends bar also.

She's a real nice and cheerful girl, or used to be cheerful. After some conversation with her a friend and I decided that she is actually scared of physical violence. She's 21.

I asked her how long she had to graduate and she said one semester. I asked if they were paying for it or if it was taken care of, she said she's good to go. I recommended she live her life as she sees fit and not subject herself to any punishment.

What a piece of shit culture. I told my friend "They're dead set on killing us, I don't feel bad when I try to turn one of them to our way of thinking."

UoA is supposed to be as western and "more like us" as the middle-east gets. Remember they were going to man our ports...another great idea of Bush.

Also, I wouldn't necessarily say "piece of shit culture." The Middle-East is for the most part, still living in Biblical times, however, that is one of the reasons why they are so mad. Diplomatically, they have been neglected and overlooked while the rest of the world (besides Africa) developed. Compare them to Jordan, Pakistan, India...

Kinda shocking that she's just waiting for the moment to slit your throat for not condeming Jesus Christ, eh?

They have also been oppressed and taken advantage of by Western Culture.

Oppressed and taken advantage of, by THEIR OWN leaders who are partners with our culture.

Absolutely correct in most instances. We sure know how to put the pressure on though.
