The article referenced herein, ends with a reference to this woman's father, quoting his as saying: "He harbored no doubt that she deserved to die after she admitted to committing adultery.
"There was no option (he added) This is what Islam commands us."
Khurshid Kasuri said that the allegations had provoked outrage throughout the Islamic world.
"Mr Kasuri said that Muslim rage was universal
"It's unthinkable that someone could be so debased, inhuman, depraved as to provoke the feelings of not just those people there (in Guantanamo) but all over the Muslim world.
Well, Mr. Kasuri and all other followers of the “holy” Qu’ran, I have but one question for all of you. Actually, I have many, but this one is of a magnitude of intolerance and “evil” (and as it is “commanded” by your “holy book”) that all I ask is: WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE OVER A COLD BLOODED MURDER ON A YOUNG WOMAN FOR HAVING COMMITTED A “SIN” OF ADULTERY?
Do you NOT consider this practice “inhuman and depraved,” MR. Kasuri?
Do you and all other Islamist “condone” this barbaric practice? Why is the silence, deafening? “Insulting the Koran is punishable by death.”
So is the “violation” of its many tenets for trivial, “moral lapses,” which are “sins” and not “crimes,” punishable, by death.
I, personally would not flush the Qu’ran down the toilet, nor would I use it (as some have suggested) as toilet paper, for I consider this “holy” book, to be “evil incarnate” and would not even touch it with my hands, as I believe it to be “un-clean,” to use one of Islamite’s favorites sayings.
I do, however, “SPIT on your Qu’ran.”
"A KILLING COMMANDED BY ISLAMIC 'LAW'."
Within an hour, the entire village would learn that the 25-year-old married woman had been discovered in a darkened nearby hut with her lover.
Within two days, Amina was dead -- killed by her fellow villagers April 20 after the men of the community ruled that she had violated Islamic law by having an affair with a neighbor....
Soon Amina's father, the elders and a crowd of villagers had gathered outside. Mohammad unlocked the chain and flung open his front door. At the back of the room sat his son, Karim, on a floor cushion.
Next to him sat Amina. Her expression was once again blank, Aslam said.
It threw Aslam into a rage.
"I shouted, 'What is she doing here? Give her to me! I will kill her!' " he recounted last week. "I was so shocked, and my Islamic dignity was so offended."
But the other villagers restrained him, Aslam and other witnesses said.
"We told him, 'No, no! This should be handled by sharia now,' " his brother Hashem recalled, referring to the Islamic legal code.
"Fine, I will give her over to sharia then," Aslam said he responded. "Whatever sharia says, I will do it."...
Under Sharia, the punishment for adultery is death by stoning. But the code requires that there be undeniable proof of the crime -- for instance, multiple witnesses to the sex act, a confession, or other signs such as an inexplicable pregnancy....
But no one involved disputes that the villagers were unanimous in their view that according to the dictates of Islam, the proper resolution of the case would be for Karim, as an unmarried man, to be lashed and Amina, as a married woman, to be stoned to death.
Early that afternoon, one of the mullahs went to fetch a stick with which to whip Karim as Yousaf took his leave of the villagers.
Then they watched Yousaf's turban slowly vanish over a mountain path and, along with it, Amina's last hope.
Punishment
There are two, conflicting accounts of Amina's death.
According to her great-uncle Assan, after the shura reached its verdict, a group of villagers came to the dark storage room and took her away to be stoned.
"She knew what was going to happen to her," Assan said softly. "She was screaming and sobbing."
Amina's paternal uncle, Mohammad Azim, said he watched as the villagers forced Amina down a muddy path toward a patch of soft earth along a riverbank surrounded by stones, a few yards from the edge of the village.
It was a beautiful spot, shaded by an enormous tree and offering a charming view of the village clinging to the mountainside.
It was also an ideal place for a stoning.
"They dug a hole in the ground right here," Azim said, pointing to a spot in the clearing six days later. "Then they buried Amina up to her waist, with her arms pinned by her side."
Azim said Amina's hair was covered in a head scarf, and that she was crying in terror as nearly a hundred men gathered in a circle around her and began throwing small rocks at her head.
"I couldn't watch for more than a few minutes," Azim said. Instead, he said, he walked up to Amina's parents' house and waited with them in silence during the two hours it took to kill her.
Several villagers and Amina's mother said that they, too, believe she was stoned. And a few said they had seen the bloody hole after she was removed from it.
But no one else would admit to witnessing the actual stoning, much less participating in it. And the ground where Amina was allegedly buried to her waist showed little sign of disturbance six days after her death -- possibly because, as Azim and other villagers contend, they had refilled the hole and then the river had flooded over it, or possibly because the stoning never happened.
Several other villagers, including Amina's uncle, Hashem, tell a very different story.
Hashem said the villagers handed Amina over to her uncles, including himself and Azim. Their original intention was to hang her, Hashem said. But as they were leading her away, they became increasingly angry and started to beat her with their fists.
"It was dark," he said. "All of us were striking her, and then she fainted and we saw that she was on the ground and not breathing. Maybe she had a heart attack."
Whatever the means of her death, Amina's parents said her bruised corpse was returned to them sometime between afternoon and evening prayers that day.
Amina's mother, Nessa, said she did not grieve.
"My daughter was a criminal and a sinner who brought dishonor on my name," Nessa said hotly several days later. "And I should be blamed for her death, not anyone else, because I told my tribe they could kill her. I forgave them for spilling her blood."...
If Amina had been allowed to live, Nessa added, the shame of it would have forced Nessa to leave the only home she had ever known and a valley in which her family had lived for generations.
"But now I can walk everywhere in the village with my head high. . . . I'm happy. Extremely, extremely happy," she shouted. The tone in her voice betrayed no joy.
Then Nessa covered her face with her hands....
Amina's father Aslam, however, was released from police custody in Faizabad after a night of questioning, on grounds that he was not directly responsible.
Just before embarking on the long walk back to Gazon, he sat on a metal chair in a room in the police station, reflecting on all that had happened in the last several days.
Unlike the feelings of his wife Nessa, Aslam's anger at Amina had by now given way to sorrow.
"I feel so sad for her. She was so young," he said, as his eyes grew glassy with tears. "I really miss her now. . . . I will miss her voice, and our conversations in the evenings."
There was much he wished he could go back and change. "If only she had told me that she did not want to go back to her husband," he said. "I would have done something about it. I would have counseled her."
But he said he harbored no doubt that she deserved to die after she admitted to committing adultery.
"There was no option. This is what Islam commands us."
Ergo, this is yet another Arab lie, and most specifically a lie from a guy who grew up in the desert who has no idea what a flush toilet is.
Having said that I'd like to note once again that when Mohammad destroyed the idols at the Kaaba he had no intention of replacing them in the minds of his followers with a book. He said specifically that there is only one true Koran and it's in Heaven. These are just paper copies ~ they are not to be used as idols.
"But the code requires that there be undeniable proof of the crime"
Well since the woman can't talk, I guess the guy can just say it and then it's "proof".
Poor young woman. Her mother and father gave her over to this. How vile!
Does anyone think this is an evil, depraved relgion because it treats a woman so harshly, but allows a man guily of committing the same crime do free?
Under these rules the Virgin Mary would have been stoned to death.
The koran belongs IN THE TOILET.
I'd personally like to FLUSH IT AWAY FOREVER!
Needless to say, does the male walk away scott free, as usual?
Well since the woman can't talk, I guess the guy can just say it and then it's "proof".
Yes, and what makes it so despicable is that "they" use their "holy" book as the "law," as it relates to "ALL THINGS!"
No appeal here, my friend. Judgment is final. Punishment, administered, forthwith.
You know, one can almost, rationalize and try and comprehend those who are religious zealots and obey the rule of whatever their religion dictates and carry that phylosphy and practice to an extreme.
Also, one can sit here and wonder about other countries, cultures, history, etc., and try and justify their behavior based on customs, history, etc.
However, I CAN NOT for the life of me, comprehend, how in this instance and others, that human nature and the instinct of Paternity and nurturing would not trump all?
How can these people be so quick to condemn (and often facilitate and participate in) the killing of one's own child absent a rational (okay, I know, that's us Evil American's logic) justification--the likes of which committing "adultery" far from qualifies as reasoned response.
Kind of makes you wonder about how we "Infidels" and "Un-Beleivers" could ever have drafted a document (The Constitution) which embodies all of what humanity should be afforded, not to mention the Bill of Rights.
Gee, I wonder if Kennedy and O'Connor will ever reference the "prevailing customs" as it pertains to Islamist in any of their future decisions? Especially, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendment cases? After all, is our Constitution not an "evolving and living document?"
Not to be rude, or anything, but what kind of toilets do they have there? Anything more than four sheets of Charmin and our toilet sends Mr. Hanky for a return visit. I mean, honestly, how do you flush a book down the toilet? Can it even be done? Has anybody ever witnessed this amazing event?
Women with AK47s don't get stoned. It seems only groups like the 2nd Amendment Sisters truly support muslim women.
NOW and Code Pink and the rest of the leftist hypocrites are content to let Sharia run roughshod over muslim women with trial-less stonings and honor killings.
Thanks my friend, after a long hard day and contemplating the madness in the world, I really needed a good laugh.
Also, no doubt, learned how to ride a camel before learning how to drive.
Wonder how long it took him to learn how to use a knife and fork?
As an aside, and not having the time or inclination to research it, which hand is it they are supposed to use only for eating and the other only for wiping?
Such and advance culture, nes't ce pas?
Please don't tell anyone I'm French--albeit, French Canadian--whose heritage and ancestry, I have now renounced and will NEVER (as with Mexico and France and few other places) set foot, there, again. Thank God, Las Vegas and New Orleans, are in this country. If not, that would certainly test my "resolve." LOL
Excellent point..
It's as if all sex is a "bad" thing caused only by the inherent lewdness of women.
The idea women cannot even show their face in public is pretty damn sick and proof of the male insecurity within those Muslim societies.
The whole "72 virgins in heaven promised to male martyrs who die for Islam" is a really sick view of sexuality.
These men are a bunch of perverts with a very unhealthy view of sexuality. It's as if natural sexuality is a filthy weakness for which a man cannot be held responsible.
Certainly looks it and certainly makes me sick and also makes me want to do something violent to someone who would commit such a vile, abhorrent act, against a woman.
I know. Not a very Christian thought, but I'll ask for forgiveness tomorrow, when I go to Church.
In the meantime, I want to kill something.
Too bad I'm beyond the age (by a few decades, LOL) whereby I could join (once again) the military.
As disgusting as this is to look at and contemplate, would it NOT make a great recruiting poster and tool?
Why is it you never hear of men getting stoned to death?
Probably because men wrote this garbage and now enforce it as they deem fit.
