Somalia: Adulterer stoned to death; pregnant girlfriend faces execution after she gives birth

This, too, follows the example of Muhammad:

There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child). When she was delivered she came with the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him (the Holy Prophet) with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle, here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He (the Holy Prophet) entrusted the child to one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her. - Sahih Muslim 17.4206.

Sharia Alert. "Somali adulterer stoned to death," from BBC News, November 6:

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 official 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....

This young couple
They had fun
But Al-Shabab said no no no
With a whack whack
Stone your head
Till we crush your skull
In Islam fun is a load of bull

Morbid it maybe but accurate as well is it not? Sometimes reality is quite grim.

Verses from the Bible. Go ahead, look it up.

Isaiah 13:16 "Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished."

So Abdullah Mike, is this real Islam or some extreme version? We're waiting on pins and needles.

So, I guess that it means that the stoning is alright. Also, you posted the same post on another thread here. This is spam.

Really touching!!! The great Hadrat himself entrusting the child to one of the Muslims. A more barbaric leader would have had the child stoned as well.

Really worth congratulating the Ummah over...

Religion of retards, islam has to be banned its not compatible for the 21st century world.

pulsar182 | November 7, 2009 7:20 AM

Islam wasn't compatible with the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th or 20th centuries either...

Infidel | November 8, 2009 5:54 AM

Or even the 7th... The pagan Arabs of the time had much higher ethics and morals than Mohammed did, which was why they'd respect the same treaties that he broke when convenient. They were also far more tolerant of religious diversity, or else, they'd have put him to death for proposing a new religion. And their women had more freedom - see Khadijah. All in all, when Islam arrived, it first f^&ked up Arabia, and then the surrounding continents like a cancer - Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Central & South Asia.

Okay, November 6, 2009 5:17 PM,
So what is your point in quoting all these verses from the Bible? You know as well as I do that NO Christian follows these verses any more, if they ever did. On the other hand, many Muslims continue to follow the violent verses in the koran. A day doesn't go by where we don't hear of another violent outrage. Again what is your point?
