As the Heavy story notes, this is in complete accord with the Qur’an. But in the West, if you take note of what the Qur’an says and see that jihad groups are acting in accord with it, and if you point out that Sharia is incompatible with numerous Constitutional principles, you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”
“WATCH: ISIS Boko Haram Cuts Off Hands of 2 ‘Thieves,’” by Sam Prince, Heavy, November 2, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):
A new video purportedly released by the African branch of the Islamic State, AKA Wilayat Gharb Ifriqiyyah, formerly known as Boko Haram, has released an amputation video. The video was released November and is titled “Establishment of the Limit Upon the Thieves.” It is the first known amputation video by the Northern Nigerian Islamic State militants.
In the video, an ISIS jihadist is shown reading charges against the two alleged thieves. In sharia law, stealing is considered “hudud” or “a crime against God.” The Quranic verse 5:38 advises what to do to thieves:
[As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent [punishment] from Allah. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
After the charges are read, the men’s hands are cut off.

This article says the two — (alleged thieves)
Last night I heard about this as I was switching radio stations.
It was reported WITHOUT the word — (alleged).
The MSM automatically assumes the accused is a thief and reserves the word ‘alleged’ for people like Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Will says
& once again the velvet glove of sharia is drooped exposing a bloody iron fist . That bloody iron fist imposes with a feral vengeance a total submission to the ideology .
The velvet glove of the most benevolent, most merciful of creeds is a camouflage meant to comfort ignorant western ‘progressives’ and to continue to inspire their gospel of absolute moral relativism .

The Liberals will never forgive you if you threaten their “fantasy world” with reality and facts.
PRCS says
I received a copy of Qur’an from CAIR many years ago per their “Explore the Qur’an” campaign.
More than a page of that 6 pound monster is devoted to explaining why such amputations are necessary.
No, not why that barbarity has no place in the 21st century, but the “rational” for it.
As CAIR says there is no place in Islam for “extremism”, one must wonder how Uncle Nihad and Honest Ibe define extremism.
Angemon says
It would be interesting, PRCS, to compare a current CAIR-distributed quran with your older, unapologetic, version.
Jeremiah says
Behind every sharia punishment is a mosque. Get rid of it.

Sharia punishment: Islamic State in West Africa amputates hands of two thieves
……………………….
And note: this is just the first amputation *by the Islamic State*. Northern Nigeria has had Shari’ah for some time now–including amputations and sentences of stoning:
“Nigeria’s Zamfara Sharia court orders amputation”

Bronze Age barbarians.
Bronze Age Death Cult.
Westman says
They chop off hands for petty theft while they kill and steal from Infidels on an amplified scale. Truly, “the worst of people”. Even Allah must be ashamed.
Westman says
This is a fatal flaw in Islam – no forgiveness coupled to repentence and equitable restitution. The theft was for some figure less than $1000, but the punishment is lifelong with a production loss value many times the value of the theft – completely violating Allah’s mantra of an eye for and eye. It is closer to a life for a few dollars, eliminating voluntary reform, a future spouse, children, and causing a lifetime of ridicule.
Amputations make Allah into the the most offensive thief of all time, far exceeding an eye for an eye. It is so blatantly inconsistent that only a moron would accept this as being from anything but the addled brain of a barbaric human.
Jeremiah says
The fault is entirely ours. We have tried to ignore the koran for 1400 years. We need to stop the teaching of the koran so that muslims can be free to accept Christianity.
Dewana says
Do Nigerian moslems gain psychological acceptance from their moslem Saudi Arabian friends? Remember, the Saudi authorities put the blame on hajj pilgrimmers from African countries for recent Mina stampede that ended up with more than a thousand people got killed being trampled down. Such a statement might be considered racist.

Jeremiah says
There have been multiple declarations of war against the West, America and Israel. We no longer need to look for ways to brand Islam as racist of barbarian. Whether we do or not, we are at war. A prudent first step to acknowledge the threat from Islam to our women and children would be to raid all of the mosques in one night and gather seditious materials, weapons and databases.
Then hold your breath!
If the Police will not do it . . . show some intestinal fortitude and grey matter.
