Women stoned to death in Syria for adultery
Associated Press ^ | August 9, 2014 | Bassem Mrque

A cleric read the verdict before the truck came and dumped a large pile of stones near the municipal garden. Jihadi fighters then brought in the woman, clad head to toe in black, and put her in a small hole in the ground. When residents gathered, the fighters told them to carry out the sentence: Stoning to death for the alleged adulteress.

None in the crowd stepped forward, said a witness to the event in a northern Syrian city. So the jihadi fighters, mostly foreign extremists, did it themselves, pelting Faddah Ahmad with stones until her body was dragged away.

"Even when she was hit with stones she did not scream or move," said an opposition activist who said he witnessed the stoning near the football stadium and the Bajaa garden in the city of Raqqa, the main Syrian stronghold of the Islamic State group.

The July 18 stoning was the second in a span of 24 hours. A day earlier, 26-year-old Shamseh Abdullah was killed in a similar way in the nearby town of Tabqa by Islamic State fighters. Both were accused of having sex outside marriage.

The killings were the first of their kind in rebel-held northern Syria, where jihadis from the Islamic State group have seized large swaths of territory, terrorizing residents with their strict interpretation of Islamic law, including beheadings and cutting off the hands of thieves. The jihadis recently tied a 14-year-old boy to a cross-like structure and left him for several hours in the scorching summer sun before bringing him down -- punishment for not fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

***The stonings in Syria last month were not widely publicized at the time, but in the following days three photographs appeared online which appeared to document the grisly spectacle...

Well, when was the last time you heard of a botched stoning?

I wonder what the trend-line is for mosque construction in the US.

Muzzies openly profess their intent to turn the US into an islamic state.

I refuse to believe our Bill of Rights demands we allow these invaders to make these United States an easy conquest.

When is a group recognized as a cult in the U.S.? When is a group recognized as a religion in the U.S.? What are the guidelines?

Good points. We could make a strong case that Islam is not compatible with our constitutional republic structure.

Ahmad, he said, appeared unconscious, and he had overheard that she was earlier taken to a hospital where she was given anesthesia.

Well, at least they were "humane" about how they stoned her to death. /sarc.

The Left gets itself all worked up into a tizzy when anyone on the Right calls these people "savages" or "barbarians" or "subhumans." I don't know what to call this other than savage. They are bloody-minded murderers who keep on going and going. It would be as if someone in the US gave Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy or some other serial killer the right to do whatever he wanted to do without being arrested.

Since the muzzie’s doctrine, the koran, demands they kill us non-muzzies, I don't understand why they are afforded 1st Amendment protection. Whoever said the Bill of Rights isn't a suicide pact was right.

The other tactic of the Left it to pull out canards, like “This is what the Tea Party will do the homosexuals or women who get abortions.”

Perhaps what is worse is how islam is increasingly accepted in civil society. No thanks. It is a barbaric social and economic system in religious drag that has no place, as you say, within our constitutional republican structure.

He gets to throw the first stone. Nobody said Sharia had to be fair.

I look at it from another perspective. Some ISIS scumbag raped her, then declared her a harlot for having sex out of wedlock.

They are so much worse than “dumb” animals that that term should never be applied to them, not that it was in this instance. Unfortunately subhuman doesn’t apply either, for too often such conduct is all too human. They give scum a bad name.

When human nature falls, it does not fall to the beastly. It falls to the demonic.
