Hardline Islamist militiamen in Somalia have stoned to death a man accused of raping and murdering a woman.

The execution took place in front of a large crowd in the town of Wanlaweyn, about 90km (55 miles) south of the capital Mogadishu.

The man was convicted by an unofficial court set up by the al-Shabab movement.

On Thursday in Mogadishu, al-Shabab - which advocates a strict form of Sharia - publicly amputated a hand and a foot from each of four men accused of theft.

"This man was accused of raping and killing an 18-year-old girl in May this year. The court found him guilty of the charges brought against him," Sheikh Mohamed Saleban, a local al-Shabab official, told AFP news agency on Sunday.

"Ten masked men from the al-Shabab forces stoned him to death in front of everyone. They had dug a hole, buried him to his neck before throwing stones at him," he told AFP.

That sounds horrific (cannot defend yourself with your hands). I'm not saying the guy didn't deserve this--just that it sounds like a very painful way to go. I wonder if this would reduce the number of rapes with murder in our country if we punished them in this manner.

I believe that the rape rate would drop dramatically if we stoned rapists to death.

It would in Somalia.
Rapes has happened with nothing occuring because there was little rule and order.
If a man knows he will be stoned to death, he'll think twice before whipping it out imo.

As much as i despise Al shabab for their goals and Taliban links, if they do what everyone else failed. Bring stability and law and order into Somalia. Then they have my gratitude
 
It's kind of like bowling but with only one pin.
 
Stoning a man to death is a good ruling?

Compared to the usual letting the man off with a slap on the back or even worse, the women getting the stoning for being raped. Hell yes

Maybe this will prevent any Somali men raping their women if they know they will get the same treatment.
 
I didn't realize rape was a crime in Somalia.

It has been enforced since Al Shabab and the Islamic Courts came into action.

If a Somali women was raped before that, she would keep it to herself to not shame her tribe.
 
I remember in 06, one of the first thing the Islamic Courts did was by implementing Sharia law practically enforced a 'Eye for an Eye' scene in which a killer would be killed by a family member of the victim.

Example:
BBC NEWS | Africa | Somali boy executes dad's killer

A Somali teenager has stabbed to death his father's killer in a public execution ordered by an Islamic court.

Large crowds gathered at a Koranic school in Somalia's capital to watch 16-year-old Mohamed Moallim, stab Omar Hussein in the head and throat
 
Have they ever tried putting rapists in jail?

That sentence is barbaric and sickening. :2sick1:
 
Sounds like such a gross place. Sorry Laila. You seem nice, but Somalia sounds vomit inducing.

No problem, btw i'm not from Somalia but Somaliland.
Can't say i enjoy taking holidays there either :2wave:

What's sickening, is when a rapist is given a year's probation for raping a 10 y/o girl.

Holy **** that is a lenient sentence.

It can't be worse than UK tho.
We are letting out some goddamn monster who calls herself a Mother who tortured her child, a mere toddler and killed it in THREE YEARS.
The case and what was done to him almost made me sick, his spine was snapped, left to starve, kicked, teeth knocked out, soiled himself, dropping him from 6 feet down the stairs, nails ripped out .... it goes on
Her womb should be torn out and she should be forcibly sterilized.

Sorry, where did you read it was "his" woman which led to your conclusion that it will prevent them from raping "their" women?

In every barbaric patriarch society you will get seriously punished for raping (in that case even killing) women "owned" by another (maybe even influencial guy) or for just being accused to have done it.

If you are the father and the chief of the family the crime "rape" does not even exist, if you force your wife to have sex with you.

To be honest I do not care what they do there, I don't trust their legal system any more than ours.

The other aspect I understand, even the barbaric rulership can sometimes be better than no rulership, when simply the stronger one rapes, murders, tortures at will.

I do not know what was the more serious accusation, propably the murder weights out the rape and led to this form of punishment.

Not his literally or theirs.
But Somali women and men are one anothers almost exclusively in Somalia so it made sense and easier on me to explain it like that, my bad.
How about it'll stop Somali men raping Somali women. Better?

Some rule is better than no rule exactly.

Now i wouldn't mind sending her to Somalia to meet justice :S

Mothers murdering their own children are not seriously punished in the western world.

Because for some reason, we are more shocked at a women doing it than a man and so we do not punish it properly.

She was a sick little whore tho, she had a child in prison. Why is her legs not sown shut?

That ain't nothin'. Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a bathtub, got life, with parole after 40 years, then, that ruling was overturned and now she's in a minimum security funny farm. I'm waiting for them to giver her weekend passes like they did with John Hinckley.

Omg :shock:
10 months on a pedophile who downloaded child porn or even worse, we let out a pedophile by mistake who later attacked a 4 year old and raped her

For some part. Nevertheless I do not think that a Somali man forcing his wife to have sex with him will be punished.

Pragmatically seen Somalia will become a slightly safer place if such rulership is installed.

Because for some reason, we are more shocked at a women doing it than a man and so we do not punish it properly.

It is not properly punished either way, but those feminist lobbies make it even worse.
