Religion of (Peace and) Amputation Justice; But Hey They’d Win a “Democratic Election”, So Let’s Go “Green” for ‘Em
By Debbie Schlussel
Ah, the humane, tolerant, peaceful “Religion of Peace.” If only our courts were run this way . . . we’d be the world’s biggest amputee nation.
An Islamic court in Somalia that sentenced four men to have a hand and a leg cut off postponed the punishment Tuesday, saying the sweltering weather could cause them to bleed to death.
Thank Heaven for small favors.
The court sentenced the men Monday in the capital, Mogadishu, after accusing them of stealing mobile phones and guns. The court is run by al-Shabab, a powerful insurgent group that is trying to topple the U.N.-backed government and install a strict form of Islam.
“The sentence will be carried out later,” an al-Shabab official said, requesting anonymity because he was not allowed to speak publicly. “It was postponed because of the hot weather and fears that the victims will bleed to death.”
This is sharia. If you want to know why many of us lament this kind of barbaric “justice” coming to America (and it’s already here), that’s just a tiny taste of why.
But I guess I shouldn’t really comment on any of this, because, after all, I’m being judgmental, and who are we to question the lifestyles and choices of others. We must, instead, be tolerant of all, including the amputation practices of this religion, which go on not just in Somalia, but all over the Islamic world and Arab street. There’s a reason a certain public place in Saudi Arabia is called “Chop Chop Square.”
One other thing: If they had free elections in Somalia, today, Al Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda group that practices this Islamic barbarism would win the elections.
And a bunch of complete idiots throughout the West would don Islamic green for their “democracy.” Just like they’re doing with Iran, now.

If the men were truly guilty and planned on using those guns or selling those guns to violent people, would they deserve to have their hand/leg cut off?
Of course thieves shouldn’t have their limbs cut off, but I just find it funny that conservatives complain of our lenient justice system here and yet for the obvious reason of bashing Islam, decry the harsh treatment of criminals over there.
