India: Muslims execute woman for adultery

Sharia mandates that adulterers be stoned to death, so this panchayat must be made up of moderates. "Lashed to death: Bihar panchayat executes woman for adultery," from Dailybhaskar.com, December 4 (thanks to Sreekanth):

Purnia(Bihar):In an incident reminiscent of Taliban-style execution, a woman was whipped to death in Bihar’s Purnia district last week for adultery. According to eyewitnesses who didn’t wish to be identified, the Tiyarpaya Panchayat held Bibi Shehzadi guilty for having an affair with a relative, and ordered a death penalty.
Nobody in Asiyani village protested as they saw Shezadi being beaten to death.

The panchayat, headed by sarpanch Zaki Ahmed, had earlier given a dressing down to the victim for her role in starting a self-help group for women of the village. The SHG, reportedly provided solace to women of the community who suffered from emotional or physical trauma.

Some, however, claimed that Shezadi was pronounced a death penalty as a retributive measure, for her husband had contested against the sarpanch in the civic polls last year. Her husband, Md Munna, now works in Ludhiana, and couldn’t be reached for a comment.

"ASP Deepak Barnwal had been asked to ascertain the exact cause of the woman's death," said Amit Lodha, superintendent of police, Purnia while speaking to a newspaper.

No arrests have been made in the case so far.

The incident comes two days after another Panchayat in Bihar's Kishanganj district banned women from using mobile phones.

Panchayat, according to Wiki:

It is the oldest system of local government in the Indian subcontinent. The word "panchayat" literally means "assembly" (ayat) of five (panch) wise and respected elders chosen and accepted by the local community. However, there are different forms of assemblies. Traditionally, these assemblies settled disputes between individuals and villages. Modern Indian government has decentralized several administrative functions to the local level, empowering elected gram panchayats. Gram panchayats are not to be confused with the unelected khap panchayats (or caste panchayats) found in some parts of India.

India: Muslims execute woman for adultery
.........................

And this happened *in India*—an Infidel-majority nation.

Purnia(Bihar):In an incident reminiscent of Taliban-style execution, a woman was whipped to death in Bihar’s Purnia district last week for adultery.
.........................

This is not "Taliban-style" per se—it is, as noted, absolutely mainstream Shari'ah.

Nobody in Asiyani village protested as they saw Shezadi being beaten to death.
.........................

They may have been too terrified to intervene, or they may well have believed that this poor woman *deserved* her savage murder. But this is *always* the case with witnesses at Shari'ah executions.

The panchayat, headed by sarpanch Zaki Ahmed, had earlier given a dressing down to the victim for her role in starting a self-help group for women of the village. The SHG, reportedly provided solace to women of the community who suffered from emotional or physical trauma.

Some, however, claimed that Shezadi was pronounced a death penalty as a retributive measure, for her husband had contested against the sarpanch in the civic polls last year...

In other words, it is quite likely that the victim wasn't an "adulterer" at all. This is very common with accusations under Shari'ah—it is often an easy way for the Ummah to get rid of inconvenient people.

Moreover, with reference to the self-help group the victim started, this may well be a warning to the women in the region that this is exactly what will happen to them if they get too "uppity".

No arrests have been made in the case so far.
.........................

And I don't expect there to be, even though it can't be any mystery who sentenced this woman to death, nor who carried out the sentence.

Even in India, the police in Muslim areas so often turn a blind eye to pious Muslim savagery.

There have been no arrest in these cases, either:

And what are the Indian authorities doing about this? Nothing, most likely.

Muslims in India—as in so many parts of the world—are increasingly flexing their muscle, with predictably oppressive and bloody results...

If the authorities in India were not so thoroughly dhimmified, and so frightened of the massive Mohammedan Fifth Column within their country, the thing to do would be to round up the entire villageful of malevolent Mohammedans (since they can all be deemed complicit in this Sharia murder, this ritual human sacrifice), strip them of their Indian citizenship, and pack the lot of them off to Pakistan where they belong. Or to Bangladesh. Whichever is closer.

Further thought.

How soon will it be, before something like this is done in *France*, or in the *UK*? A 'sharia court' will deem a woman 'guilty' of zina - most likely on the basis of malicious gossip, or some Mohammedan male's perfervid imaginings - and she will be flogged to death, or stoned to death. And will the deeply-dhimmified authorities *there* dare to pursue the murderers?
