Somalian woman stoned to death for adultery.
So as many of you may have heard how this woman was stoned to death becuase she was accused of adultery, I'm reminded once again how society, in most countries, treat men and women differently. What about the guy that also is in this. Is she the only one who should be put to death for the both of them?

| The 23-year-old woman was buried up to her neck in front of hundreds of people in a square in Kismayu and stones were hurled at her head. She was dragged out of the hole three times to see if she was dead. When a relative and others surged forward to rescue her, guards opened fire and killed a child. It is thought to be the first such public killing by the militants for about two years. Witness Abdullahi Aden said: "A woman in green veil and black mask was brought in a car as we waited to watch the merciless act of stoning. We were told she submitted herself to be punished, yet we could see her screaming as she was forcefully bound, legs and hands. Witness Abdullahi Aden "A relative of hers ran towards her, but the Islamists opened fire and killed a child." The Islamists last carried out public executions when they ruled Mogadishu and most of south Somalia for half of 2006. They were toppled by allied Ethiopian and Somali government forces at the end of that year, but they have taken back land by waging an Iraq-style guerrilla campaign. In parts, they are welcomed for the security they bring, but they are also imposing fundamentalist practices like banning entertainment seen as anti-Islamic. Islamists said the woman, named as Asha Ibrahim Dhuhulow, wanted punishment under Sharia law. Local leader Sheikh Hayakallah said: "She was asked several times to review her confession but she stressed that she wanted Sharia law and the deserved punishment to apply." But her sister, who asked not to be named, said: "The stoning was totally irreligious and illogical. "Islam does not execute a woman for adultery unless four witnesses and the man with whom she committed sex are brought forward publicly." Islamist leaders at the execution said the woman had breached Islamic law and promised to punish the guard who had shot the child in the melee around the execution. |
Disgusting! Unbelievable.
ugh, another 2 unnecessary deaths 
Somalia has no recognized government and is deemed to be 'stateless'. Probably one of the most dangerous places you could be in the world right now. My heartfelt pity goes out to the people of this sad nation.
sad 
Agreed this is very sad, her death and the kids are pointless ....
this article is alot more telling than bbc's however.

After talking to a guy in my office here who is from somalia and is 53yrs old has lived most of his life there and came to canada in 2001 tells me the country is in bad shape no Govt and the only way this incident took this ugly shape is because of the fact that she was dumb and went and told them that yes she did it instead of someone else telling on her, in that case they would have to bring forward up to 8 women and if its man then its 4 men to prove that they had sex and be the witness before she was to found guilty.......In her case she just blindly went forward herself and said yes I did it and I want this punishment.
Sad regardless.

I cant imagine seeing that myself..
i dunno man.. different cultures look at life differently. who are we to judge them? is it because we are taught to think we are better than everyone else?
im pretty sure she knew what would happen to her if she was caught committing adultery but she still chose to do so. if we had the death penalty in canada and you chose to kill someone and you get caught, it is nobody's fault but your own.
the kid's death was unnecessary though.

it does not matter if it is right or wrong to us, the reality is that the rest of their world does not have to believe what we do and there is absolutely nothing that can change this.

| Originally posted by love_child Yeah but killing someone is a totally different crime. Adultery is still wrong but then who were they to judge her? I guarantee you that each one of the individuals who participated in her death were not perfect human beings so what position were they in to make that call? Do you really think she deserved to die for that? I dont think so. |

while living is South Korea it was actually amazing at the sheer amount of things that they thought westerners were savage for doing.

| Originally posted by chinamon what one society thinks is right in regards to human rights doesnt mean squat in another society. that is how they live and they should abide by it. there are countries where a person would get the death penalty for possession of drugs and thats why their drug use is so low. people know the consequences. |
when there is absolutely nothing you can do to change them, no.
go to their country to convert them to your ways and see what happens.
