| Public lashings follow Derna 'Sharia Court' verdicts |
| 2014-10-21 |
| [Libya Herald] The "Sharia Court" of Derna, an institution of Derna's Shoura Council of Islamic Youth, has laid down the law for a group of young men guilty of alcohol abuse, sentencing them to a public flogging, which was carried out on Saturday in the courtyard of the town's old mosque. According to common interpretations of the Hadith, the appropriate punishment for alcohol consumption is 40 or 80 lashes--left to the discretion of the Moslem leader ‐ "with two palm branches stripped of their leaves". Derna's Shoura Council of Islamic Youth was said to have declared its allegiance to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS), and to the "caliphate" of His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... at the beginning of October. |
