KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — One of the founders of the Taliban and the chief enforcer of its harsh interpretation of Islamic law when they last ruled Afghanistan said the hard-line movement will once again carry out executions and amputations of hands, though perhaps not in public.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Mullah Nooruddin Turabi dismissed outrage over the Taliban’s executions in the past, which sometimes took place in front of crowds at a stadium, and he warned the world against interfering with Afghanistan’s new rulers.
“Everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments,” Turabi told The Associated Press, speaking in Kabul. “No one will tell us what our laws should be. We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran.”
Executions of convicted murderers were usually by a single shot to the head, carried out by the victim’s family, who had the option of accepting “blood money” and allowing the culprit to live. For convicted thieves, the punishment was amputation of a hand. For those convicted of highway robbery, a hand and a foot were amputated.

What would you like to be done about this?
Biden Administration says China’s cooperation on climate change is more important that human right violations.
“So what punishment should be administered to an Islamic woman who marries her own brother? Asking for a friend…..”
that depends on intent, If the sole purpose was to help defeat the Infidels than it is totally ok.
One of my friends was in a market in Cairo back in the 60’s. Some guy stole something from one of the stalls. They rounded up everyone in the area ( my friend include) and had them witness them cutting off his right hand.
I did. That part of the post still looked kinda open-ended. And no problem is insoluble; our problem is faith in the divine truth.
Imagine the size of the pile of hands of those who stole the 2020 election from us.
I wonder if any democrats would have any hands left.
Maybe a “handful”. Hahahaha
I guess he's the moderate Muslim we have to support.
And brutality to the point of barbarity is part and parcel to their “religion.”
