Somali stoning
by planetparker
Somalia is indeed a sad country, wracked by poverty and religious extremism. Quite recently has emerged the story of a 13 year-old girl who alleged she had been raped. When her father brought her before what passes for the authorities in that lawless country she was accused and convited of adultery and fornication and was sentenced to death by stoning. The girl, crying and begging for her life, was then placed in a hole on a football pitch which was then filled in with earth upto her neck. Fifty men then proceeded to throw large stones at her head. After about a quarter of an hour the authorities sent some nurses who dug her out. They stated that she was still alive, just; so they were ordered to put her back in the hole and replace the earth, until the sentence was fully carried out.
Such barbarism has no place in Islam, but before we start pointing a racist finger at the Islamic faith, let’s admit that such an atrocity could easily happen in the Christian west; instead of stones the hapless victim would be pelted with insinuations and calumny.
I think the people there are sick to the core, when I say core I mean it what say thern were treated the same way, forget the poor girl already being brutalized she had to be stoned to deat as well and all the rapist get was a prison sentence, where is the justice there. No wonder thousands of girls and women keep quite for atrocities committed aganist them .
