Just Been Stoned

The "religion of peace" has claimed yet two more victims today as a couple in Afghanistan was stoned by the Taliban for adultery. The hapless young couple, in this instance reportedly a twenty-eight (28) year old married man and a twenty-two (22) year old woman suffered the ultimate penalty in what may have actually been a miscarriage of Sharia as the married man under Islam is entitled to four (4) wives and could have avoided his bloody fate with an argument that he wished the lover to become his second wife and had every intention of keeping his family together. But those most fervent of Sharia practitioners have never been known to be particularly legalistic in their interpretation of their own religious faith as they also recently executed a visibly pregnant woman by shooting which is forbidden by the Koran until the baby is born, nursed, and weened. But really who is counting anyway- hang a seven (7) year old, blow a pregnant girl's brains out with three shots to the head, bury a man up to his waist so at least he is reprieved if somehow under the barrage of stones small enough to injure but not large enough to kill outright, he is able to dig his way out, but for modesty's sake bury his female partner up to her neck so for her there is no possible salvation- all this done at the end of the holy month of Ramadan to show just how peaceful Islam really is.
