Removed line along the line of "some Islamic countries still have this as law" - the source was http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8425820.stm , which seems to point to a law on the basis of "an eye for an eye" (the people convicted had mutilated a woman's face). This seems quite separate and unrelated to its use as a punishment in its own right. Akdor 1154 (talk) 13:47, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
