actually, i disagree with my own post so EDIT

 

[nlgbbbblth]

not to jump on this but people should be able to disassociate the actions of a militia clan from the an entire religion. If they can't, well then... that's their problem.

True.

but - innocent, non-militia Muslims may feel the brunt as negative vibes may be directed their way - from people who don't know any better.

More simple than patriarchy - it's the age-old custom of the exploitation of the weak by the string

So the cats were right all along?
We have to fight the string.

To many people this incident will reinforce hatred of Islam and fuel suspicion of its followers.

I'm suspicious of followers of all religions.

I'm not aware of any other religious laws that provide for the stoning to death of women for adultery except under Sharia law.

It's a minor tennant of Nailerism.

true indeed.

I wonder what the situation on the ground was. There was suggestion that the militia fired on the crowd when some intervened.

my understanding of sharia is very bad but as far as I understand there isn't a set of rules that dictate action and sharia is interpreted through the culture and custom of the context it is being delivered.

The punishments related to Hadt or Hadd (or whatever it is) are not applied in the same manner in different countries.

One of the main things I picked up from the Chester Beatty Library "understanding Islam" conference a few years back was the lack of hierarchy, as we see it, under Islam. i.e the pope and all that comes under that. And this is one of the reasons why there is such conflict and debate in what is real and unreal in Islam

But especially the ones that stone kids to death for no good reason, right?

 

[maims bond]

being stoned to death as a kid is pretty harsh. having the top of your knob lopped off soon after birth because it's considered unclean is pretty harsh as well.

having to say the rosary is pretty harsh. some of the stuff in the old testament is fuckin sick.

This puts a dampener on the whole "everything is gonna be alright" vibe I had going today.

Sick like Diplo's new mixtape is sick?

Don't worry about it - it goes on quite a bit in Iran as it happens. Not 13 year olds though, to the best of my knowledge

the word has a duplicitous meaning.

jesus. beween a rampant kidnapping epidemic and a drug war that's seen over a thousand murders this year including high ranking police and the army... mexico's a pretty fucked up place at the moment.

Stoners are my enemies.

 

[freddienonose]

I was in Somalia yesterday. Seriously. Hairy, hairy.

People I spoke to there say things like this happen all the time but it's rarely reported. Normal rules (even normal Sharia rules) don't apply in Somalia and anyone who says they have a clue what's going on there or where it's going is talking shit.

Don't want to go back anytime soon.

precisely. in a way there is no such thing as 'Islam'- there are just hundreds of version of interpreting the Koran.

man, the lifestyle forum used to be so innocent, full of heating tips and friendly debates on jam.
