The purpose of releasing such images is twofold: it “strikes terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), and it demonstrates to Muslims that the Islamic State is carrying out Islamic law in its fullness, including this: “The thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent from Allah” (Qur’an 5:38).
“Isis releases brutal images of man’s arm being amputated for theft,” International Business Times, December 20, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):
The Islamic State (Isis) has released graphic images of a man having his hand amputated in Syria after being found guilty of theft by an Islamic court.
A large crowd of men and boys gathered to watch the punishment, which was carried out after Friday prayers in the city of al-Bab, in the Syrian province of Aleppo.
Blindfolded by a beige tasselled scarf, the victim is shown wearing a black leather jacket and being led into the centre of the street.
His hands are tied behind his back while an Isis fighter is shown grabbing the man by his neck.
A bearded man wearing a shirt and brown scarf is seen apparently waiting patiently for the victim. The man is later shown tending to the victim’s freshly amputated arm while wearing a pair of white surgical gloves.
Subsequent images show several medical items on a small wooden table, including plasters, a reel of plastic tape, and a brown plastic bottle possibly containing an anti-septic or a pain killer.
The final few images show the doctor cleaning up the bloody stump and applying plastic tape to bandage up the wound.
The photos of the amputation were released just hours after Isis publicly crucified a man in Aleppo. The man reportedly admitted that he had dropped small microchip tracking devices near strategic Isis buildings in Aleppo.
Isis has gained a fearsome reputation for carrying out brutal punishments for crimes such as blasphemy, adultery and sorcery….

What kind of a doctor gets involved in punishment amputations? Surely that’s against the Hippocratic oath?!
Zebo says
Hippocratic Oath is so Kafur and 90’s.
Muslim doctors are far more advanced.They have the hypocritical oath.

Even Islam must at time try to give an air of civility to its vile barbarity.
We might expect that a Muslim cleric was standing nearby holding a QUR’AN
(Islam’s weapon of choice)

“Even Islam must at time try to give an air of civility to its vile barbarity.”
Yeah. But most of the time, they don’t.

Well, old Joe Biden could tell them a thing or two about Islam and set these suckers straight! They’ve got Islam all wrong, imam Biden would say! Get on the phone, Joe, and tell ’em it ain’t so!
Michael Copeland says
The BBC, deflecting attention away from Islam, deceptively claims that Islamic State has a “radical interpretation of Islamic law.” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-29600573)
The BBC nourishes the false notion that there is a non-radical “interpretation”. No. Kill means kill. Stone means stone. Cut means cut.
zebo says
off course there are non violent interpretations.
You can interpretate think all the way you want to .
The question is:How accurate the interpretation is.
As we know that mohammed evolved from a peacefull men to massmurderer
because of islam and all peacefull things had been abrogated(=meaningless)
a peacefull interpretation is bullshit.(there is a reason why muslims are the most criminal and violent group
in every country they enter.And the problems they create are so huge that goverments have to
stiffle the truth,fake statistics and forbid discussions about islam to keep the hings going)

Sharia laws are Allah’s laws. Anyone who ‘interprets them will have to face Allah. How is it possible to interpret perfection?

These guys are like the mafia who ever joins them in their crime spree gets rewarded with virgins, young boys and girls of slain parents, wives if dead husbands etc. which they refer go as ‘war booty’. But if a person steals to survive whatever scraps are left after these coc# suck&€$ are done they quote sharia law I.e law of Allah and amputate hands, legs etc.
Any guesses on who the mafia boss is?! Hint – this as% ho%€ died 1650 years ago but his mentally retarded ideology grows stronger and is attracting the scum of humanity…
Evil spreads when good people keep quite and if nothing..
Bezelel says
I’m glad this has nothing to do with islam because we have too many peaceful muslims in the US to have them start believing this is part of their peaceful religion. We would sure have a mess on our hands or hand if that ever happened here.

If they cut off limbs how are they going to work? All that is left is theft.

SICKENING !!
Ayattollahowmany says
“how are they going to work?”
Muslims who want to work?? About as common as hens teeth!
Don’t forget about economic jihad- as Anjem Choudary put it,
“The normal situation is the kuffar work, give us the money, allahu akbar!”
Also see the situation in Arab countries- they import foreign worker slaves,
being too lazy to work themselves.
