LANDI KOTAL (Khyber Agency), March 14: A woman and two men were publicly executed in Bara on Wednesday on charges of adultery, official sources said. The sources said that a local council of elders, including activists of the Lashkar-i-Islam, accused Allah Noor and Shahzada of the Kukikhel tribe of having illicit relations with a divorced woman, Taslima, in Akkakhel area.
Announcements were made on loudspeakers from mosques and the three accused were brought to an open place after they had been caught. A large number of people gathered to witness the execution, said a witness.
The council of elders stoned the three before two masked activists of Lashkar-i-Islam shot them with Kalashnikov rifles. Lashkar-i-Islam Amir Mangal Bagh was reported to have been present during the execution.
The local administration has registered a case.
Does sort of sound like what my wife would do to me if she caught me messing around :-)
Nancy Pelosi, Queen Hillary and the rest of their nest of Liberal snakes should have been there to witness "the religion of peace" in action. None of these Liberal idiots have met a Islamic terrorist that they didn't feel sorry for.
Resent your demeaning comment about Neanderthals! First the GEICO ads, and then you, comparing us with islamic lynchers! It's too much!
Here's what Wikipedia has to say on the subject:
Capital punishment in Iran is legal, and can be executed in a number of ways, one of which has included stoning in the past. The Iranian judiciary has officially placed a moratorium on stoning, although the punishment remains on the books.[1]
In April 2002[7], the Iranian newspaper Entekhab reported that a woman called Ferdows B had been sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment, to be followed by death by stoning. Another woman who received a similar sentence was stoned to death in May 2001, after eight years in Tehran's Evin Prison. She had been convicted of adultery and corruption on earth.
In December 2005, Iran Focus reported a Tehran court's sentence of a woman to stoning in Varamin [8]. In the same report, Iran Focus reported the sentence of stoning on a man for armed robbery and murder in Nowshahr[8].
In June 2006, according to Iran Focus, a report about the stoning to death in May 2005 in Mashad of Mahboubeh Mohammadi, a teacher, and her sister's husband, both convicted of murdering Mahboubeh's husband, circulated on Persian-language websites.[9]. The stoning was allegedly carried out in the middle of the night in a cemetery.
In early July 2006, a report by ADN Kronos International[10] about the sentencing of Malak Ghorbany in Urmia to stoning for adultery started circulating widely in the internet[11] along with a petition against the sentence[12].
According to Amnesty International, Article 104 of the Iranian penal code states, with reference to the penalty for adultery: ...the stones should not be too large so that the person dies on being hit by one or two of them; they should not be so small either that they could not be defined as stones. Amnesty argues that this is clear evidence that "the punishment of stoning is designed to cause the victim grievous pain before death".[7]
In Iran, the convicted person to be killed is wrapped in a sheet and buried; male convicts are wrapped from the waist down, female convicts are wrapped till the chest to prevent the breasts from becoming exposed.
Islam's stone age civilization has
immigrated into America and this country
is the new mid-east battle ground.
This is Bush's Fault. Bush is no Martel.
I do not think there is much vigilantism in Saudi Arabia. If crime is extremely rare there, but crime is punished very severely. SA is a police state, as its Ministry of Interior keeps an eye on its people.
This was actually done in our 'ally', Pakistan. The tribal areas there are rife with Taliban, Al Qaeda, and the other fundemental jihadists. Their idea of a trial consists of someone in authority saying they broke the law, and then the punishment is carried out. No appeals, no jury, no 'due process'.
"Nancy Pelosi, Queen Hillary and the rest of their nest of Liberal snakes should have been there to witness "the religion of peace" in action. None of these Liberal idiots have met a Islamic terrorist that they didn't feel sorry for."
The thing the liberal idiots will never understand is that if the islamo-fascists had free rein in our country, the wierdos of the left coast would be the first ones stoned. Nancy and her ilk would be ... stuffed into burkas .... and ...(hmmmmm) ... silenced.
OK, so it's a barbaric evil religion appropriate to a society of 7th Century goat herders. I guess it's got its good points, too.
Now, now, now. Let's not be judgmental. We have baseball as a national pastime and other cultures have their national pastimes. If we just tried a little harder to understand them, maybe they would learn to love us and share their special and wonderful ideas with us.
Pardon me while I hurl.
Lots of videos of stonings available on the 'net:
