Drinking alcohol: haram. Murdering someone for drinking alcohol: pleasing to Allah. “Yemen extremists kill woman in alcohol raid,” from AFP, December 21 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Armed extremists killed a woman in Yemen’s main southern city of Aden when they raided several homes whose owners allegedly have alcoholic drinks, residents and a security official said on Friday.
“More than ten” armed men on motorbikes stormed three houses in Aden’s Memdara neighborhood on Thursday, residents said.
The owners fled except for one woman who remained in one of the apartments, the sources said, adding that the gunmen shot her dead before driving off.
A security official in Aden told AFP that “we have received a complaint stating that Islamist extremists have killed a woman.” He did not give any further details.
Extremists took advantage of a year-long uprising in Yemen that ousted veteran strongman president Ali Abdullah Saleh, seizing control of large swathes of territory in the country’s southern and eastern provinces.
Despite giving up most of these territories after an all-out army offensive against them that ended in June, many have infiltrated the once bustling port of Aden in an attempt to impose their strict version of Islamic (sharia) law.
Have you ever noticed that mainstream media reports frequently reference a “strict version of Sharia” — in Iran, or Saudi Arabia, or Nigeria’s Kano state, or Yemen, or elsewhere — but we never read about a “relaxed version of Sharia”? That’s because there isn’t one. Contrary to the lies of Islamic apologists in the West, the content of Sharia is quite clear. And quite “strict” in all its variations.
Thought to be linked to Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the militants operate mainly by night, harassing young couples seen together and sometimes launching deadly attacks against security forces.
