Video: Sudanese Woman Publicly Flogged As Onlookers Laugh
Eyeblast TV / The Blast ( Media Research Center) ^ | 12/14/2010 | Joe Schoffstall

Posted on 12/14/2010 1:49:19 PM PST by blog.Eyeblast.tv

The public flogging of a Sudanese woman was caught on tape as onlookers laughed.

The governor of Khartoum, Abdul Rahman Al Khedr, told the independent Blue Nile TV channel that the woman was “rightfully punished according to the sharia law, but the violation was in the manner her punishment was carried out.”

Authorities launched an inquiry into the video and say in this particular instance the punishable offense was ‘adultery’ or ‘pimping’. Given Islamic law, or Sharia Law, is fully enforced in the northern region, floggings are common. Just one year ago, a woman was flogged in public for simply wearing pants. Sudan has some of the worst human rights violations in the world.

They'll be doing the same thing in US cities before long and the democrat fascists will defend the right of their allies the Mooslims to “cultural differences” while at the same time bitching about Christmas trees.

That’s not true! I do reply from time to time. They do have punishable offenses for ‘pimping’, which is what they call it.

It's a punishable offense in many places, some just flog more than others.

There would be no sense in being one, if you couldn’t act like one.

Your admirable restraint is an inspiration to us all.

It's hard to administer Sharia under a mushroom cloud.

I'm just sayin'.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

So, do they also flog the males who frequent or participate in livestock sales?

Do they ban the sales of Dairy Goat Journal?
