You don't have to be insulting to make an empty point.

You know nothing about Islam,I was a christian like you before I embraced Islam so there's nothing you wanna tell me.

idumuose: My first reaction to these pictures was "I don´t believe this, it must be a photographic trick".

Unfortunately, the truth seems evident, a little boy gets punished because he has stolen bread and they drive a heavy vehicle over his arm ....

What do you do when you receive a series of pictures like this? You ignore them? Delete and think, thank God I am not living in Iran? This does not happen in my world ....

But the world is OURS - whether we live in Portugal, Sweden or in Iran. OUR children grow up in this world.

omenka: That boy's picture is too damn touching. Just to digress a little, why does the world seem silent over the genocide taking place in Gaza Instead of Senator Kerry flying down there to ask both sides to sheath their swords, he's chosen to turn a blind eye to it preferring a trip to Afghanistan to mediate over disputed elections and then Iran for nuclear talks!!! At the last count, over 175 have been killed in that hugely one sided conflict, most of whom are women and children!!! Pictures don't lie!!

Ucheosefoh: I never support violence but people don't attack people first and expect no reaction, we all know Hama started it first by kidnapping and killing two Israeli citizens and also fire some rockets to Israel. What did you expect Israel to do ? Keep on complaining to UN instead of protecting their citizens? Those Hamas firing rockets into Israel are they not aware their are women and children on the Israeli side ? Are they not aware their women and children will be targeted too when Israel attacks. Let's call a spear a spear you no go go another man house kill him children and expect him to keep quiet when he revenge na your whole family he go wipe out.

IdiAmin1: You got it all wrong, I know a lot about Islam. Atleast I know about Talibans, Al queda and of recent boko haram. So what else am I missing?

Liar for Christianity how is market?

The above story was spread by Evangelism by Lie disciples,

The disturbing set of photographs shown above has now been circulating via email, blogs and forums for several years. According to the explanation that accompanies the images, they depict an 8 year old child being punished under Islamic law for stealing bread from a market in Iran. The message claims that the images show the boy's arm being deliberately crushed by a car wheel as retribution for his crime, all in the name of Islam.

However, as is often the case with images that circulate cyberspace, things are not what they seem. While the photographs themselves are genuine, the event they show had nothing whatsoever to do with Islamic law and was not a punishment for stealing. In reality, the stunt was a street performance conducted for the entertainment of onlookers. The photographs were originally published on the Iranian news website Peykeiran. According to information published on the Little Green Footballs blog, a reader who contacted Peykeiran about the images received the following reply:

It seems you have not read the text that came with the pictures. In irna there some who earn their bread by Maareke giry. In our case one of these maarke gir _ha had hired a kid to do those unhuman show.

The first photograph in the series shows a man talking into a microphone and this collaborates the claim that the event is part of a street performance. It appears that the microphone wielding "host" is explaining the stunt to onlookers.

Moreover, most versions of the protest message omit the seventh photograph in the series, which shows the boy sitting up after the stunt, apparently with no serious injuries. Thus, the claim in the message that the boy permanently lost the use of his arm is clearly untrue.

Furthermore, although strict interpretations of Islamic Sharia law do call for amputation or cutting of hands as punishment for stealing, it is unlikely that such a punishment would be carried out on an 8 year old child who only stole bread. Various references point out that one of the conditions that regulate penalties for stealing is that the thief must have reached puberty before a severe penalty would be enforced. Other references suggest that the maximum penalty of hand-cutting may not be carried out on a person who stole minor or inexpensive items, especially if the person stole only food because he was hungry. There are many credible references that describe the Sharia Law maximum penalty for stealing as the possible amputation or cutting of the thief's hands. However, I could find none that described the crushing of the thief's arm under a car or any other heavy object.



Thus, it seems that this long running diatribe against Islam is simply the result of a misinterpretation of the event depicted in the photographs.

Of course, even without the erroneous religious interpretation that has been placed on it, many would consider it reprehensible to use a young child in what appears to be a dangerous, painful and frightening stunt, even if the child was paid for his participation. However, forwarding the email in its present form will do nothing to help this child or others like him.

The obvious excesses and human rights violations perpetrated by such groups as the Taliban under the umbrella of Sharia Law quite rightly generate intense debate and condemnation from many commentators. But, muddying the waters with misinformation such as that contained in this email forward is decidedly counter-productive and will serve only to widen divisions and foster even more hatred and misunderstanding in our already strife-torn world.

omenka: Not to disparage your comment, but there has been no proof that the Israeli settlers were killed by Palestinians (Hamas) as claimed by Tel Aviv other than the fact that they were killed in occupied territory. For what it's worth, the Israelis themselves could even be responsible for the murder of those teens!! Israel has been huffing and puffing, threatening fire and brimstone since the pact to form a Unity Govt between Hamas and Fatah. They just might have killed two (three?) of their own just to present to the world an excuse to carry out their threat. Or be that as it may, why have they chosen to bomb homes of civilians snuffing life out of innocent women and children when they know just where to hit with their precision guided missiles to get their enemies which they claim are just Hamas?? Pray tell, what has a 5yr old got to do with rockets landing in Israeli territories Since the days of David Ben Gurion, Israel has always nursed an uncanny desire to exterminate the Palestinians and steal their lands, they have always been opposed to a Two State Solution (even though they say otherwise on camera) approving the construction of thousands more settler homes in occupied territories in violation of international laws whenever a deal is about to be struck just to set back the peace process and maintain the status quo. The siege on Gaza is reminiscent of the apartheid era in SA and segregation in the US. Even your enemies don't deserve this!! #FreePalestine

Ucheosefoh: conspiracy theorist, may may may you not sure if your accusations are right. You have a point on the issue of occupied territory but to say Israel killed their own to have an excuse to attack Palestinians is uncalled for, mind you the rockets are launched towards Israeli residential areas which can be able to damage and kill people. So go and tell the Palestinians to stop finding trouble cus Israel gots loads of them ready to dash out on any trouble maker. This conflict has been on for ages and the hamas are aware how Israel react when attacked so they could have consider the innocent women, men and children before launching any attack on Israel. My mama tell me say if you no want trouble no go cause trouble.

thorpido: For the first time you choose to be objective.The 'vex' part of your moniker overides objectivity usually in your posts.

tunshe:

Thank you for debunking the lies,they go any length to castigate Islam and Muslims with falsehood.

Shame on them! They will continue to fail!! Islam will continue to grow whether they like it or not.

omenka: You wouldn't accept the theory that Israelis killed their own, but you are always quick to acknowledge that northerners are the sponsors of Boko Haram! Come on dude, you can do better than this.

There is no Vex part of my username, I am shocked by your allegation!!
