Sharia Afghanistan: Man, woman given 100 lashes in public for adultery

Sep 5, 2015 9:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Remember: opposing Sharia punishments makes you a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.

Iran lashing

“Afghan man, woman given 100 lashes in public for adultery,” Gulf News, September 2, 2015:

Kabul: An Afghan man and woman found guilty of adultery received 100 lashes on Monday in front of a crowd who filmed their punishment, TV footage showed.

Public lashings and executions were common under the Taliban, who enforced a strict interpretation of Sharia law from 1996-2001.

The militant group was ousted from power by a U.S.-led coalition and such punishments are now rare.

The footage, taken in the western province of Ghor, showed a woman wrapped in a head-to-toe burqa and a man each receive the punishment from a man in a turban wielding a leather whip, watched by a group of mostly seated men.

The two remained in a crouching position throughout and did not appear to cry out.

The sentencing was backed by the government in Ghor province, where the trial took place.

“They had relations a long time ago but were arrested early this month,” a spokesman for governor Seema Jowenda said. “Their punishment is based on Sharia law and will teach others a lesson.” A local judge said the penalty was in line with the constitution and criminal law. A spokesman for the justice ministry was unavailable for comment.

The foreign-backed government does not enforce Sharia law and generally condemns the practices of beating and stoning when they occur, particularly in areas under insurgent control.

Earlier this month, five people were arrested in the north for beating a man and his daughter for robbery. In May, a woman was beaten to death by a mob in the centre of Kabul after being falsely accused of burning a Koran.…

    This story is written by a Islamophobe who is just trying to make the Religion of Pieces look bad, as it’s clear to me the author is presenting the religion’s adherents to look like seventh century barbarians, just look at this picture, wouldn’t you draw that conclusion? Islamists get carried away sometimes in their almost fourteen hundred year quest to force I mean establish Islam as the world’s only religion but sometimes when you’re dealing with stubborn Infidels a little force is needed, while I believe Hijrah is the most expedient way. Islamophobes listen up> Hijrah is Jihad by Immigration). Some Islamophobes are now actually accusing Muslim Immigrants of doing this and some are even calling Obama a Stealth Jihadist, Obama is a Christian and got the Christian votes in all 57 states, which shows how wrong you Right Wing conspiracy nuts are. The sad thing is if this story was published on yahoo and I posted what I did on here I would probably get more votes up than votes down.

      Pick and choose a verse

      Islam is full of forked tongue verses that contradict each other.
      Muhammad clamed that Allah commanded Muhammad to commit adultery with is own daughter in law.
      Muhammad repeatedly committed adultery with the wives of those he murdered as if murdering husbands would bless his lustful impulsiveness.

      Why then, wasn’t Islam’s biggest hypocrite adulterer horsewhipped?

      You’re right. He should’ve stuck with little boys. Because that’s okay for Afghani men.

      Dear Jack (off),..

      Every violation of human rights almost exclusively occur in countries that are under Islamic rule.. and based on Islamic law. Just as in this article, the most horrific atrocities are in nations controlled by a government, or Islamic religeous leader who strictly enforces Islamic rule of law. There’s a reason Jack, that refugees flee countires that enforce strict Islamic rule. However,… feel free to prove us all wrong, and immigrate to any country you choose that has strict Islamic / Sharia laws. Pick up a world history book sometime, and read the violence that Islam brings to every country it touches. Go vacation in Afghanistan Jack,… drop us a postcard. Prove your point Jack (off).

    Out of curiosity, were they actually married to other people?

    Yet where is the outcry by moderate muslims around the world?

    Oh right, they’re too intimidated by the “Religion of Peace” to speak up for the innocent.

    Islam: Where you can check out but never leave.

    Muslims: slaves of satan. Cowards!

      There are no “Moderate Muslims around the world.” All of them, whether they will admit it or not, get off on this kind of barbarity. They all look kind of dirty to me and could use a good bath. And where did the writer get the idea that the executioner was searing a turban. He was wearing a mask, to hid his identity. I, too, would be ashamed were I so masochistic.

    And of course the video has been removed by YT for, get this, violating their policy of “prohibiting content designed to harass, bully or threaten”

    What a crock. How it enrages me. I can never find any way of contacting them.

    I suppose that they were ” lucky ” not to get their heads smashed in with rocks.
    The serial adulterer Mohammed himself sanctioned the stoning of couples accused of adultery.
    Mohammed was the premier exponent of the ” don´t do as I do, do as I say ” philosophy.

    I think that Jack has not only been listening to those that gave him the Kool-Aid but has also been drinking it for way too long.

    Here’s a history lesson. There are only 50 states – not 57. It’s the not so great idiot in the White House who said that there are 57 states. And he went to Harvard and actually taught there. Just goes to show you what kind of education people are getting who go to Harvard.

    In case you didn’t figure it out yet, I would have voted thumbs down. If that had been possible. Not for what you said, but because you have your facts wrong. That destroys your credibility.

    Next time, before you post, make sure you know what you are talking about.

    Go back to school and this time learn something. Wait a minute. It’s the left who has control of the schools – especially the public schools. So don’t go back to a public school.

    Oh well, I’m wasting my time.

    Just call me one of the right-wing conspiracy nuts. But then, just because we are nuts, doesn’t mean that what we are saying isn’t the truth. You just won’t see it.

    Good luck in an Islamic US.

    ‘Sharia Afghanistan: Man, woman given 100 lashes in public for adultery’ is a sickning story by any standard. The world does not want to call spade a spade and for what reason I don’t know. People who live in Islamic countries and if they are Muslims who support the teachings of the Arab prophet and don’t find the teachings inhumane then of course they are equally responsible for what happens to them. True, there are many who are powerless and therefore since you become a muslim but cannot quit, it makes more traumatic to even think about leaving it when you finally discover that Islam is not a religion of peace as it has been said around the world. It is sad that as the world moves in development in every way, Islam is left behind and unable to redeem itself. I am sick when I read stories of religious barbarity when a religion of peace engages in barbarism and yet their adherents don’t seem or refuse to see the reality. If Allah were ‘God’ I am sure there could have a sense of sanity in the manner human beings are treated in lands where many devote their libes to serve him. Now I agree that the first victim is the one who considers himself or herself as a ‘muslim.’
