“He did not have her according to sharia.”
“The man was married with two wives and children. He was publicly stoned to death today for committing adultery according to the Islamic sharia.”
“Al Shabaab is fighting to overthrow the weak UN-backed government and impose its own strict interpretation of Islamic law.”
In reality, there is no interpretation of Islamic law that does not mandate stoning for adultery.
“Somali Islamist insurgents stone man to death for adultery,” Reuters, May 29, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
MOGADISHU: Somali Islamist insurgents stoned a man to death on Sunday as punishment for alleged adultery, they said, a reminder that the militia is still strong enough to carry out public executions despite losing its grip on most towns and cities.
Hundreds of witnesses watched the death of 44-year-old Dayow Mohamed Hassan in Ramo Adey village in the south-central Bay region, the regional governor representing the al Qaeda-linked insurgency said.
Moalim Geedow told Reuters that Hassan was buried neck-deep in a hole then pelted with stones.
“The man was married with two wives and children. He was publicly stoned to death today for committing adultery according to the Islamic sharia,” Geedow said, using a term for Islamic law.
“The man had a third woman who was a divorcee. He did not have her according to sharia. He deceived her, saying that he went to a sheikh (local leader) and that he married her. However, when the woman got pregnant, the two families debated and there was no trace of valid matrimony. The court ruled he did not marry her legally and he was stoned to death.”
The government did not return calls seeking comment.

“He did not have her according to sharia.”
Per “Allah”, she was not his legal property.

Damn stupid… Who now supports the children? The Christian god would solve the problem by having them get married. The Islam god lays the support on the Ummah who have no investment and some will likely abuse the children.
Some people don Western clothing while their mind is still in the jungle.

Somalia: Muslims stone man to death for adultery
……………………
If he was just raping Infidels it would have been perfectly Islamic…

Hmm, I’ve heard an awful lot about women being stoned for adultery, but a straight, non-infidel, non-apostate, non-blasphemer, muslim man? That’s a first for me. Can’t help but think there’s more to this story.

In theory, the punishment is same for men and women if convincted. I recall reading of instances in which men are executed for this in Saudi Arabia previously. Although, it’s worth noting that cases involving men do get less coverage.
