This morning in Dubai, Emirati sailor Rashid al Rashidi was executed by firing squad for raping and murdering four-year-old Moosa (Mousa) Mukhtiar Ahmed in a mosque washroom.
The pedophiliac crime on the first day of Eid al-Adha in 2009 shocked the United Arab Emirates. Eleven judges have okayed the death sentence; even one of al Rashidi’s own lawyers demonstratively resigned himself from the case of “the suspect who brought shame to mankind.”
The terrified al Rashidi met his death at a Dubai shooting range this morning, begging for God’s forgiveness … and also that of his victim’s relatives, five of whom witnessed the execution.
Unsurprisingly, the aggrieved family wasn’t biting.
“I will never forgive him,” Mousa’s father reportedly told the Grand Mufti to whom al Rashidi had entrusted his contrition.
It’s the first execution in the UAE 1945: Giovanni Cerbai, partisan
come on seriously, its one of the worst crime ever, for raping and murdering a 4 years old infid. who is very innocent. according to the law in canada, the man wouldn’t have been killed. he would be given 25 years life in prision. May Allah help the father of the child amin
That is good for the justice as there are lots of big guns who commits and run away but it is good for UAE justice system May Allah rest in piece the poor Mausa soul .Ameen

Poor child. Justice took its course here, I feel.
Talk about man’s inhumanity to man. The sight of the young boy’s toys made the hairs on my arm stand up. It’s difficult to imagine how anyone could commit a crime so crazy and sick.
