Muslim lovers to be caned for trying to have sex in a car

An engaged Muslim couple who tried to have sex in a car have been sentenced to be caned by a Sharia court in Malaysia.
Islamic religious police caught Mohamad Shahrin Abdul Majid, 29, and Nadiah Najat Hussin, 24, wearing only their underwear in a car at an office parking area in May.
They pleaded guilty to trying to have sex out of wedlock and were sentenced to six strokes of the cane. They were also fined £1,000 each.
The couple, who plan to marry soon, are appealing against the caning but they have paid the fines.
The maximum sentence for the offence under Islamic law is three years in jail.
Though Malaysia has long been upheld as an example of a moderate Muslim-majority country, recent harsh punishments for breaking Sharia law have made headlines.
Earlier this week, an Islamic court ordered a Muslim man to be whipped six times and jailed for a year for drinking alcohol at a restaurant.
In July, a woman was sentenced to six strokes of the cane and a fine for drinking beer in public at a hotel.
The caning, which would be the first time a Malaysian woman has received the punishment, has not been carried out yet.
Sharia laws apply to Muslims, who make up about 60 per cent of Malaysia's 28million population, in all personal matters.
Non-Muslims - such as Chinese, Indians and other minorities - are not subject to the laws.

You'll pray that you don't have to crap for at least a month, otherwise it will be a burning sensation!
