Believe it or not!!
I'm shocked I do not want to believe.
Two months ago, a young mother of two was stoned to death by her relatives on the order of a tribal court in Pakistan. Her crime: possession of a mobile phone.

Arifa Bibi's uncle, cousins and others hurled stones and bricks at her until she died, according to media reports. She was buried in a desert far from her village. It's unlikely anyone was arrested. Her case is not unique. Stoning is legal or practised in at least 15 countries or regions. And campaigners fear this barbaric form of execution may be on the rise, particularly in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. 

Stoning is not legal in most Muslim countries and there is no mention of it in the Koran. But supporters argue that it is legitimised by the Hadith – the acts and sayings of the Prophet Mohamed. Stoning is set out as a specific punishment for adultery under several interpretations of sharia or Islamic law. What do you think?

    • I trust you, I,ve watched many cases like this on T.V. News. Even in adultery cases it,s unforgiveable but, why only for women? I will never understand this because I come from a western country and I guess you too.

    • I agree with you in opinion.
      But the reality is otherwise. There is a court ruling, and the lady was stoned to death by the law.

  • Hi Piña
    Thank you for your comment.

    In fact, I'll wait for a Pakistani friend to explain why do people accept this militancy?

    Another example:
    Flogging a Sudanese woman brutally murdered at the hands of the Sudanese police to implement the court order that I've found guilty because she rode a car with a strange man.

  • I,ll never understand this. :(
