Somali Adulterer Stoned To Death [Crowd of 300: "Blood Was Pouring From His Head"]

Somali Adulterer Stoned To Death

Islamists in southern Somalia have stoned a man to death for adultery but spared his pregnant girlfriend until she gives birth. Abas Hussein Abdirahman, 33, was killed in front of a crowd of some 300 people in the port town of Merka.

An official from the al-Shabab group said the woman would be killed after she has had her baby. Islamist groups run much of southern Somalia, while the UN-backed government only control parts of the capital. This is the third time Islamists have stoned a person to death for adultery in the past year.

Al-Shabab official Sheikh Suldan Aala Mohamed said Mr Abdirahman had confessed to adultery before an Islamic court. They [al-Shabab] are forcing women to wear very heavy clothes, saying they want them to properly cover their bodies but we know they have economic interests behind - they sell these kinds of clothes and want to force people to buy them

"He was screaming and blood was pouring from his head during the stoning. After seven minutes he stopped moving," an eyewitness told the BBC.

dear Lord, after reading biblical accounts of stoning I always imagined it as one of the worst deaths. These people are so sick and I am so tired of reading what they inflict upon others.

Aww, well wasn't that thoughtful of them. Once she does give birth, the baby is an orphan.

In our society, if you’re a babe and live in a Blue State, you simply pack up your stuff after the hubby goes to work, move out, get a lawyer, get a boyfriend, and leach off the (now ex) hubbie for the next few decades.

Non-violent: yes, morally ok: you decide.

And mohammedism does not permit adoption. Perhaps foster parents, but not adoption.

"A 13-year-old girl was stoned to death for adultery in the southern town of Kismayo last year.

"Human rights groups said she had been raped."
