MOGADISHU, Wednesday

(picture is from another stonning) 

An unnamed woman was stoned to death at Eel-boon in Wajid district, 330 kilometres southwest of Mogadishu, on Wednesday. 
She was sentenced by an Islamic court after she was found guilty of adultery.

The woman was taken to a square, her body half buried and then stoned.

A crowd was present as well as officials of al-Shabaab, an Islamist movement that opposes the Transitional Federal Government and controls a large territory in Southern and Central Somalia.

A young man, who was also caught in the same adulterous act, received 100 strokes of the cane.

According to Sheikh Ibrahim Sheikh Abdurahman, a judge of the Islamic court who sentenced the woman to death and the man to whipping said the cases differed.

“The woman was had been married before and under Sharia (Islamic law) she is to be stoned to death upon proof,” said Sheikh Abdurahman.

“The young man with no previous marriage experience is to receive 100 whips under the same law,” he added.

Last Friday, another Islamic court that falls under the control of al-Shabaab sentenced a young man to death by stoning in Marka town, 110 kilometres south of Mogadishu. He was found guilty of committing adultery following a case of alleged rape.

At a football stadium facing the Indian Ocean, the condemned man was taken to a corner of the playground, his body half buried in dirt before youngsters started hitting him with stones.

Before the execution, the clergymen who rule Marka town and surrounding areas announced that a woman who had also been sentenced for committing adultery was in custody, to be stoned.

The woman is said to be pregnant.

Al-Shabaab and Hizbu Islam, the Islamist groups that strongly oppose the TFG, generally enforce the severe punishments.

In 2008, a teenage girl was accused of adultery in Kismayu, 500 kilometres south of Mogadishu, sentenced by a court and stoned to death.


Islam is inhumane

What better example is there of religious ideology trumping common sense and compassion than this? Islam is what happens when believing wins out over thinking.


Democratically-minded Former Muslims

My great hope is that the number of Democratically-minded Former Muslims will continue to grow, until it reaches a critical number. When they let themselves more and more be organized, known and heard, as in USA, UK, Germany and other countries.

In contact with Muslims and Politically Correct People I already like to represent them as also a group which deserves to be "respected", with whose feelings we also should be concerned, whom we also should protect against so-called hate-mongers with hate-speech (mostly the Still-Muslims). Because they are also innocent-until-proven-guilty. As this is what we constantly hear how we should behave towards our Muslim-minority, from politicians, media, many people! Well, there's now a Democratically-minded Former Muslim-minority also!


Stoning of Du'a KhaliDu'a for Falling in Love!

" Stoning of Du'a Khalil Aswad

Du’a Khalil Aswad (دعاء خليل أسود)(c. 1989 or 1990 – c. April 7, 2007) was a 17-year-old Iraqi Kurd of the Yazidi faith who was stoned to death in an honor killing.[1] It is believed that she was killed around April 7, 2007, but the incident did not come to light until video of the stoning, apparently recorded on a mobile phone, appeared on the Internet.[2] The rumor that the stoning was connected to her alleged conversion to Islam prompted heavy reprisals against Yazidis by Sunni extremists, including the 2007 Mosul massacre.[3][4] ...

Ancient times obscuring Modernity.

These type of mind insults is what could potentially make all complacent Muslims guilty of evil, somehow these moderates manage to be not terrorists but could be used to stone human beings to death, this is among the reasons why I never made a good Muslim, how could anyone be so cold to the extent of committing such a morbid religious act?? the only Muslims I will respect are those that are non-believers in the closet, how come the fear of hell could not stop others from leaving the faith?? I was afraid of hell as a Muslim, but I just couldn't contain the sheer inhumanity in that violent system, there are free countries with millions of Muslims who could easily unite and protest aginst the incessant slaughter of humans that has become the norm, but I hear nothing, imagine this type of slow death in the streets, a couple of weeks ago I read an article on here that requested a petition for two Iranian girls waiting to be killed for apostasy, imagine the horror those girls are experiencing right now, I hope this nightmare will come to a permanent end soon.


You just about said it all

You just about said it all with great emotional eloquence. 'Imagine the horror, you stated. I can't help but recall Apocalypse Now' when Marlon Brando says just this: 'The horror, the horror!'. There is a certain amount of low/sick fascination and mostly a negative sense of power in the world of horror. It's an illness, a sickness.

I think you never stopped being a human being, you never blocked out your emotions entirely, and so you managed to overcome your fear of Muslim hell due to your sense of compassion, as I did too as well as many of us ex-Muslims, I believe.

Of course we are not claming that adultery is right and when we reply to such horrors, I think at least some Muslims believe that we are standing for adultery and feel possibly comforted in the fact that at least THEY can do something about it and put things right. Such Muslims are no longer human, not even animal like. Evil and ruthless comes to mind. I feel sick. I feel scared. It's incredible how a cult like Islam can totally dehumanize its followers. It's psychotic behaviour and people die daily because of this. Yes, it's a nightmare and we need to turn out that light at the end of the tunnel fast.
