Lets flip the coin kiasi; Imagine it was some Uncle Sam Cowboy who slashed an Arab girl in that manner somewhere in Texas! All Imams would be on the streets shouting al..u ak... - then some youths would be encouraged to fight for al... Bottom line - apart from all the other issues, they are experts in victimhood politics! Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic

Is the person crying/shouting loud "leo na mwaga dam,leo nakuf" the lady or someone in the crowd? Sad day in humanity! Portfolio: Sold

Meanwhile, Quote:Kenyan employees were often poorly treated by their European employers—sometimes even beaten to death by them—with some settlers arguing that Africans "were as children and should be treated as such". It was widely acknowledged that few settlers hesitated to flog their servants for petty offences. To make matters even worse, African workers were poorly served by colonial labour-legislation and a prejudiced legal-system. The vast majority of Kenyan employees' violations of labour legislation were settled with "rough justice" meted out by their employers. Most colonial magistrates
appear to have been unconcerned by the illegal practice of settler-administered flogging; indeed,during the 1920s,flogging was the magisterial punishment-of-choice for African convicts.

First, I've said again and again that it is not a Muslim who does not follow Islam, whether he calls himself a Muslim or not. So please do not blindly say "These muslims are just pathetic."
Secondly, Islamic law is not applied blindly. Not that somebody accusing somebody of killing a baby and law is just applied like that, no. Islamic law requires that there be four witnesses for the application of this law, Reliable witnesses, not just anybody, but people who are known to be just and righteous. And without those four witnesses, the law cannot be applied.
Thirdly, now regarding this case, coming from gutter press, they report that it's the father of the dead baby who is executing the woman. I doubt that. My suspicion is that, this is death sentence issued by the court and evidence and witnesses verified. And the one meting out the justice is the state's judicial executioner.
Fiftly, if the above was death sentence, carried out by state's judicial executioner, then note that these laws are applied and done publicly. People should be present to observe it. It is not for entertainment in public, but for them to see law and its application. The sight of it helps to enforce in the minds of the people that the laws are being applied and we should avoid these kinds of crimes.
IMPORTANT: I'm not supporting or CONDONING sporadic killing by anyone against anyone. NO MATTER where it is: Saudia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, or U.S, or France, or ANYWHERE... Islam is AGAINST killing. YES! the victims maybe perceived as evil doer, anyone may disagree with them. BUT! We are not allowed to go out and kill them.
NOTE: My response above is informed by the fact that this news are coming from sensational journalism, which should be consumed with pinch of salt. You do realize you are defending the actions of these barbarians and in the process killing any chance of separating their actions from the right Islamic way of doing things. Instead of focusing on the actions and the message coming across, you have quickly run to look for the messenger so you can kill him. You then go ahead to kill the messenger you have not found  "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

Do you have any specific question you want to ask me from Islamic perspective?

unfortunately your reply only makes it worse. What's this Islamic law that allows people to be beheaded in public? I wouldn't care if they needed 1000 pure virgins to witness the crime.
What I just saw was just pathetic.
So I'll stand by my initial statement. Going to these muslim countries is a direct risk to your health and sanity. They might just chop off your head because you walked cross legged. @alma, since you are asking me about Islamic law, to avoid people here misunderstanding and thinking I'm supporting the alleged act in the gutter press, let me use another thread to answer you. Please read here for my answer... what is your position on apostasy from Islam similar argument? They fall in the same category of crime right? Religion of peace year right! My answer here

That's my point. Those two are not mutually exclusive. You will never hear of violent atheist fundamentalists. @ham, Dictionary Definition of ‘fundamentalist’ A fundamentalist is a person who follows and adheres to the fundamentals of the doctrine or theory he is following. 1. For a person to be a good doctor, he should know, follow, and practice the fundamentals of medicine. 2. For a person to be a good mathematician, he should know, follow and practice the fundamentals of mathematics. 3. For a person to be a good scientist, he should know, follow and practice the fundamentals of science. IMPORTANT: He should be a fundamentalist in the field of science, or medicine or mathematics.

The people slashing the girl claim to do it as per their enterpretation of Islam, the same people deny women the right to drive or go out alone while citing Islam. Those who join and fight for ISIS, al shabab, boko haram all claim it to be consistent with Islam. From those people the real effects Islam that the world can not ignore are felt. So there is that enterpretation, then there is the alternative. Which is which. In the meantime blood continues to be spilt! Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
