| Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada |
Taliban Chief Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada broadcasts a
return to the coverage of stoning ladies:
“We are going to quickly implement the punishment for adultery. We
will flog ladies in public. We are going to stone them to loss of life in public. We are going to convey shari’ah to this land.”
How enlightened – stoning and flogging.
Stoning as a type of capital punishment goes again to historic occasions. Stoning seems to have been the usual technique of capital punishment in historic Israel. The Torah and Talmud prescribe stoning as punishment for a
variety of offenses, nonetheless, Rabbinic Judaism developed plenty of
procedural constraints which made these legal guidelines virtually unenforceable.
Though stoning will not be talked about within the Quran, classical Islamic jurisprudence imposed stoning as a shari’ah punishment for adultery based mostly on hadith (sayings attributed to Muhammad).
Solely a
few remoted situations of authorized stoning are recorded in pre-modern historical past of
the Islamic world. In current occasions, stoning has been a authorized or customary
punishment in Iran, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia,
Sudan, Yemen, elements of Nigeria, Afghanistan, Brunei, and tribal elements of
Pakistan. That mentioned, it’s not often practiced – it seems that is about to alter in Afghanistan.
If you wish to see simply how barbaric Islamic stoning is, I like to recommend the superb film The Stoning of Soraya M, a 2008 film in regards to the stoning of a younger lady in Iran.
The film stars the gifted Shohreh Aghdashloo, Mozhan Navabi, and Jim Caviezel, and is available for free on YouTube.
I’ll warning that the stoning scenes are graphic and intense. The necessities for stoning are fairly exact, as proven right here (click here for a larger view):
