Somali Man Stoned to Death for Adultery - Girlfriend to Follow...
This is a story showing the tolerance of Islam, they won't stone the girlfriend until after she gives birth. Thoughtful, eh?
Friday, 6 November 2009
Islamists in southern Somalia have stoned a man to death for adultery but spared his pregnant girlfriend until she gives birth.
Abas Hussein Abdirahman, 33, was killed in front of a crowd of some 300 people in the port town of Merka.
An of
More..ficial from the al-Shabab group said the woman would be killed after she has had her baby.
Islamist groups run much of southern Somalia, while the UN-backed government only control parts of the capital.
This is the third time Islamists have stoned a person to death for adultery in the past year.
Al-Shabab official Sheikh Suldan Aala Mohamed said Mr Abdirahman had confessed to adultery before an Islamic court.
"He was screaming and blood was pouring from his head during the stoning. After seven minutes he stopped moving," an eyewitness told the BBC.
The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says that if the woman is also killed, her baby would be given to relatives to look after.
Meanwhile, President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed has accused al-Shabab of spoiling the image of Islam by killing people and harassing women.
"Their actions have nothing to do with Islam," said the moderate Islamist during a ceremony at which he nominated a new administration for the capital, Mogadishu.
"They are forcing women to wear very heavy clothes, saying they want them to properly cover their bodies but we know they have economic interests behind - they sell these kinds of clothes and want to force people to buy them."
Last month, two men were stoned to death in the same town after being accused of spying.
A 13-year-old girl was stoned to death for adultery in the southern town of Kismayo last year.
Human rights groups said she had been raped.
Another man has also been punished in this way in the Lower Shabelle region.
Mr Sharif, a former rebel leader, was sworn in as president after UN-brokered peace talks in January.
Although he says he also wants to implement Sharia, al-Shabab says his version of Islamic law would be too lenient.
The country has not had a functioning national government for 18 years. Less..

all people have the rights of a fair trial, even if he/she is guilty penalize him/her that will make them remember their mistakes not by "killing" them.
-poor people, didn't have the chance to change.

So what, these people live in 1009, we live in 2009. Let them concern themselves with this this shit, I for one don't give a shit. I live in the UK (the West), these people live in the East. The two cultures do not mix..... live with it.

You should run for Immigration Minister on that platform. You'd be able to stop these cave people at the airport or port of origin. I agree, the two cultures don't mix, and our governments should accept it and stop trying.

He's a troll, they can't explain things that complicated. They only know how to slither from post to post typing whatever moronic word that comes to their feeble minds.
