The punishments should be implemented but are not. As I said before Wasta and money go a long long way.

Islam does have fixed penalties,ie mentioned in the Quran and/or the hadiths for adultery,rape,murder,torture etc but the chances of them been carried out is far less now than at the time of our Prophet. 

Someone in authority needs a good hard wake up call to take action now and stop these attrocities. Make an example of those who are caught and fear not the blame of the blamers. Am I expecting too much or will this day come?God alone  knows!!
