Egyptian addicted to stealing cuts off both his hands… by allowing a TRAIN to run over his wrists

An Egyptian man has sliced off both his hands by placing
them in the path of a speeding train to overcome his
stealing addiction.
Ali Afifi, 28, was apparently so appalled by his
habitual crimes that he took his punishment into his
own hands.
The young man, apparently guided by the rules of Sharia
law, severed both his hands in his self-inflicted
purgatory.


His decision was likely to have been drawn from the
Islamic teaching of Sharia law - the principles, rules
and subsequent punishments that inform every element
of life for those who practice Islam.Mr Afifi said his
stealing 'disease' started at a young age, first
taking his friend's lunches at primary school. It then
escalated to items in shops and until recently he was
taking people's mobile phones and gold jewellery.
He said he used to give the money he made from the
thefts to children and poor families.

But Mr Afifi was unable to cope with the guilt and
decided to cut off his hands to put an end to his
compulsive behaviour. He said he wants to help his
local town, improve the buildings and build a youth
centre. He also wants to marry but doubts an Egyptian
woman would take him because of his history of theft.

The Islamic legal system deals with many issues addressed
in secular law as well as informing daily decisions of a
personal and mundane matter, including hygiene, fasting,
prayer, diet, politics, sexual intercourse and marital
rules.
Interpretation of the law by Muslims varies between
cultures, but it is accepted in some countries that
repeated stealing is punishable by cutting off the hand.

Normally, a person caught stealing would be summoned
to a Sharia court where Islamic jurists would issue
guidance on an issue.
But for Mr Afifi, from the central Nile delta region
of Tanta, Egypt, he decided he knew what his fate should
be, according to the 'divine law'.
According to Sharia law, stealing is considered one of
the most serious crimes as specified by the Quran.
A Sharia court may issue a punishment of some kind of
injury to the hand to someone caught stealing for the
first time, such as slowly driving a car wheel over the hand.
In countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and northern
Nigeria, amputation for repeated stealing is still
practiced. In Egypt, however, the courts have not
permitted judicial amputation for many years.
Last year, however, under the new Muslim Brotherhood
government, MP Adel Azzazy, from the Salafi-oriented
Nour Party, proposed a bill to reintroduce amputations
for certain crimes.
He called for the application of 'Heraba' - extreme
punishments for crimes including overt robbery, murder,
forcible taking of property with a weapon and
vandalising public facilities.

The penalties according to Azzazy’s bill were
execution in the case of murder, or cutting one arm
and one leg from opposite sides of the culprit’s body in the cases of robbery and
forcible taking of property.
If the taking of possessions is accompanied by
murder, the penalty would be death or crucifixion,
to be determined by the judge.
The bill, according to the Egypt Independent, also
stipulated imprisonment for intimidating citizens,
and that the prison sentence will end when the felon
repents.The penalties would only be imposed on adult,
mentally-stable wrongdoers, who either committed the
crimes or assisted in carrying them out, according
to the bill.

Robinhood style?
But he had good intentions but bad approach. There are those who stopped stealing without cutting off their hands.
But its Ok... Its is business. BTW, he owns the hand not me.
To the randy guys, could you take a cue from him? grin
