Another Stoning Death: Afghan Woman Stoned Over Adultery Accusation

The religion of peace. Get ready, cause in 15 years or so they will rule the world.

She was a bitch and deserved it anyway.

This has less to do with Islam than it does local tribal customs.

Anyone stupid enough to believe this CIA propaganda crap is........a good American!

Stoning to death for adultery is in the Bible as well. Barbarism runs deep in most major religions.

Yet only muslims do it in 2015.

R2/3 is late for his suicide bombing classes.

It's 2015: Please cite examples of Christians stoning women under Biblical law.

Thanks.

Not stoned, but still being beaten and killed for being witches. This is a fascinating article about barbaric Christianity in Papua New Guinea. It seems long, but really - it's worth the read.

Papua New Guinea is barbaric. Cite exemples of western, civilized countries, that burn women for being witches or stone adulterers.

We like to pretend we're so advanced yet adultery was a federal crime in the US just a generation ago. Sure it's not stoning but can we really say "We're better!" when we just locked people up?

We do the same with women's rights, gay rights, and minority rights. We STILL argue about those things with a strong contingent maintaining that these groups should not be considered equally...yet, because we don't kill people, we like to continue the myth that we're somehow better.

Western civilized societies have liberal democracies in place, all of which came about as a rejection of traditional religion.

This stoning was not sanctioned by the government of Afghanistan any more than the killing of Matthew Shepard was sanctioned by the state of Wyoming.

Sharia law is basically Old Testament Law, you know, the one people quote when they say being gay is an abomination....

[quote]because we don't kill people, we like to continue the myth that we're somehow better.

Um, yeah, the fact that we don't kill people over adultery or for being of another religion mean we are better. Jihadi John, aren't you late for the latest beheading?

Religion of Pieces.

R13 it's not the beheading that matters in this discussion, it's the fact that it's punished at all. Beheading just happens to be the way tribal villages punish. We lock people up.

R8 So funny that when we discuss Islam we must also bring up Christianity and Judaism "SEE OTHER RELIGIONS DO IT TOO"

But whenever we discuss the horrors of Christianity no one ever steps in and says "HEY WHAT ABOUT ISLAM! DONT FORGET THEM"

PC Regressives can suck it.

Consensual gay sex was punishable in the US until a decade ago. An entire political party still thinks it should be.

Yet, we're better?

[quote]This stoning was not sanctioned by the government of Afghanistan

Oh yes it was.

This is what Islamic countries do: they may have signed treaties but Sharia Law trumps all. Islamic governments, no matter what they claim about laws on the books do not lift a finger to prosecute or re-educate.

Amnesty International has called them out on this.

R16 This isn't an Islamic horror, it's a tribal Afghani horror.]

the problem is our ignorance in the west.

[quote]Yet, we're better?

Well, as a gay man or as a woman name some majority Muslim countries that you feel would offer you the same human rights as you enjoy in your majority Christian country.

R19 No the problem is that regressives like you try to deny the fact that Islam is a clusterfuck of barbaric nonsense that encourages Honor killings, Subjugation of women and demands that gays be beaten and toss off a tall building.

You would rather sit around all day and say "Well it's subjective we cant criticize because we aren't perfect, so lets just let the women, children and gays suffer because I want to seem tolerant of other cultures"

They do this because they hate gays.

[quote]Beheading just happens to be the way tribal villages punish. We lock people up.

We lock up people who have committed crimes. They behead people who commit adultery, are gay or christians.

Get a grip, Muhammad.

You all heard about Farkhunda right? the afghan girl who was lynched because she was accused of burning a Quran. I'm guessing that was just "Tribal Culture" as well and had absolutely nothing to do with Islam.

Islam is tribal culture. Muhammad was a violent tribal culture leader and his words reflect that.

Well they sew their slit closed, might as well sew their legs closed too. It's like Salem circa 17th century over there, full of hysteria and stupidity. I highly doubt any woman would actually fuck around due to the serious consequences, let alone look sideways at a man. He probably just wanted a new wife and the easiest thing to off her was to lie and say another man got her hairy taco.

So what happened to her lover, and the husband who married against her will? Did they get any punishment?

Betcha not. In patriarchal punishment, the woman (or man perceived as feminine) bears all the punishment for any sex-related crime, the actions of the males involved are seen as normal and excusable. Islam and fundamentalist Christianity the enemy of gays, never forget that for a minute.

How can any sensible person rationalize decapitation, stoning, or any violent act as punishment for adultery or homosexuality... and how can anyone compare such violence to imprisonment, R2, R10, R11, R12, R15, R17, R19? Your making excuses for her death and saying she deserved it is quite frightening.

Let's let in 500,000 of these peaceful people.

[quote] Islam and fundamentalist Christianity the enemy of gays, never forget that for a minute.

R27 fundamentalist Christianity is held under check by...who? By other Christians.

That's not so with Islam. Islam is Islam.

I'm a bleeding heart liberal who loathes all things Islam. My heart bleeds for the unfortunate, downtrodden, discriminated against, and born into an unlucky situation. But the bleeding stops with Muslims. For generations they have continued to hold onto a barbaric religion, without updated it, without letting it evolve. I do feel bad for the average person stuck over there, but I don't want any of them over here. Fuck em.

R17

Damn right we're better.

* Try being openly gay over there & see where that gets you.

* Try being a woman over there see what rights you have.

* Try having a religion other than (being) muslim over there.

What about carpet-munching?

R32 try to be openly gay in Mississippi and see where that gets you. try having another religion other than Christianity in Tennessee and see where that gets you.

You won't get killed (unless you mean a drunk homophobe at night), but life isn't pretty,

What happened to the guy she ran off with???

Will it get you tortured by the police and then killed by law, R34?

Rest in Peace Little Star (Rokshana) I hope your pain was brief You were named after another Rokshana, who was murdered long ago for being the wife of Alexander the Great I hope the men who killed you suffer a worse fate

It is in the hadith....

'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Verily Allah sent Muhammad (may peace be upon him) with truth and He sent down the Book upon him, and the verse of stoning was included in what was sent down to him. We recited it, retained it in our memory and understood it. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and, after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proof is established, or it there is pregnancy, or a confession.

So I'm guessing the guy got off because he's a man?

Why do people on DL do this in literally every thread in which Islam is mentioned?

Can we just nuke that shithole into oblivion?

[quote] Stoning to death for adultery is in the Bible as well

uhhhhhhh.....

5 year old thread

Hmmmm

Wish I knew who was digging up threads from 2015... and why.

Whatever the reason, it’s not good for the DL community.

An old dermatology thread has also been resurrected. So random. I wonder what they're trying to bury.

I’ve noticed that he bumps threads more fervently when there’s a bad news cycle for Trump (e.g., the ultraviolet light/detergent farce of the past couple of days). He apparently bumps threads to push down negative threads about Trump. The threads bumped are mostly non-political threads from 2015, before Trump was president and are thus less likely to contain posts critical of Trump. The “bump post” is usually a fairly innocuous post that is at least tangentially responsive to the last response on the thread.

I'd rather seen a five year old dermatology thread then another instagram ho thread.

R46, I think you hit it on the head, regarding the choice of pre-Obama threads.

Would be great if Muriel could throw this guy or bot off the site. There’s no good reason to do this consistently.

According to the CNN video, the man who ran off with her received a lashing with a whip. This is horrible. She was a kid, and she may have been in the throes of her first love, when your hormones make you crazy. And then imagine having to marry someone else. Possibly her father had arranged the marriage, as women are considered property of their fathers. And I wouldn't be surprised if her new husband was 50 or 60 something. Horrible.

[quote] regarding the choice of pre-Obama threads

Pre-Obama?

Sorry, meant pre-Trump.
