The report below refers to al-Shabab’s “strict interpretation of Islamic law,” but this penalty is based on the Qur’an, which does not specify a less draconian sentence for a small theft: “As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is mighty, wise.” (5:38)
Yet in the West, anyone who believes Sharia is incompatible with secular law is derided as “Islamophobic.”
“Somalia: Al Shabaab Court Cuts Off a Man’s Hand for Stealing,” Dalsan Radio (Mogadishu), December 22, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Alshabab militants have publicly cut off the right hands of a man on Tuesday after a sharia court convicted him of breaking into a shop and stealing about a 26,000 Somali shilling which is equivalent to one US dollar.
The man identified as Mukhtar Muhidin confessed to the theft in the Adan Yabal district of the Lower Shabelle region and was ordered to refund the money.
Meanwhile, a 47-year-old man was publicly executed by firing squad after he was accused of killing another man identified as Maalim Aweys Arbow….
Al-Shabab, which has been fighting for over a decade to topple the central government and impose its own strict interpretation of Islamic law, carries out executions, floggings and amputations after summary trials in cases ranging from espionage to theft.

Allah is all merciful, right? In the world of Islam they are actually being lenient by not cutting off his head.

ill omar complained about the ‘punishment’ for terrorists from her homeland committing their acts of terror in the U.S. and demanding easier, less harsh actions by the government…she gets paid to ‘represent.’
What does ill omar have to say about this awful treatment in her homeland? Why does she not return there and teach her fellow somalian moslims a thing or two about being fair and merciful? She could explain how she has committed adultery and even incest and fraud and has gotten away with it now for years, and so this guy should not have lost his hand due to only stealing a dollar.
Go, omar, go home and teach them how to be fair and exercise mercy as they claim your fake ‘god’ says he practices thru his false ‘prophet.’ You should be there instead of trying to silence freedom of speech here.
islam is from satan the devil and does the “desires” of that one.

What is wrong with citizens of Minnesota? Was her election rigged also ? Is public education this disfunctual ? God please help the U.S.
somehistory says
She had her minions go out into the places where moslims live, don’t speak English, and were given money to ‘vote’ for her. They were told to vote for her and were given ballots, and then money when they complied. It’s called “vote harvesting,” and this one moslim bragged about how many ballots he had in his car.

Again I state that all willing adult Muslims are confused, but all willing black adult Muslims are extra confused.
A la Joe Biden, if you’re black and a Muslim, you ain’t black.

Then we are good, We all here do not want Shariah Law, or nasty Islam here. So can you tell me why do you have a war with me Journalist. I have not done anything to you ? So let us be friends. than enemy.
OK. I am Mojdeh Azad Persian Girl and these people in Iran are not Muslims.

Mojdeh, I don’t “have a war with you”, and I in fact admire a lot of your posts coming out against a nuclear Iran and against Shari’ah law and Jihad terror, and have said so here many times.
But I do take issue with your constant whitewash of Islam and the vicious “Prophet” Muhammed. The Mullahs, save for their being Shia rather than Sunni, far from not being Muslims are actually the epitome of Islam. Their saber rattling with Infidel nations, threats to destroy Israel, persecuting non-Muslims, oppressing women, marrying off little children, crushing freedom, and imposing brutal Shari’ah law is all perfectly Islamic.
This barbarism in Somalia is orthodox Islam, as well.
Exposing the horrors of Islam is what Jihad Watch does.
OLD GUY says
I’ll bet they don’t cut off a muslim mans penis for raping a child. Islam makes no sense at all as a religion. How Muhammad convinced people to follow his crazy idea of how GOD wants people to live is surprising.
Unfortunately the use of religion to gain and hold power over others has been around along time and continues today. How islamic leaders continue to abuse religious power at this time in world history is amazing. Human rights are a high priority around the world and defended highly by far left political agendas. Yet islam teaches and demand inequalities of women and non-muslims and will enforce its ideology violently with the left protecting its right to do so. VOTE non-islam
rooare says
Here’s how Muhammad convinced people to follow his crazy (i.e. evil) idea of how GOD wants people to live, Islam panders to the base nature of mankind, that is one can indulge all ones fleshly desires bc it’s divinely sanctioned. The more I learn of Islam the more I become convinced that Islam is satanic to the core!

One of the things that Islam does right.

How is amputating the linbs of petty thieves doing things right? This is a large part of the reason why Muslim countries are such hopeless crap holes. Shari’ah law savagely punishes petty theft, sipping alcohol, and holding hands in public, but sacralizes “marrying” little children, raping Infidels, and slaughtering unbelievers.
