A sad, mad, maddening, crazy crime.

The murder of an already abused child.

Animals, these people.

Nothing more to write; beyond words; beyond outrage.

Somalia is among the world‘s most violent and impoverished countries

As a Muslim I have to be careful of my response with this post. firstly, I would like to say that I do not have full knowledge on this story, thus I can not give an opinion regarding the story. We always have to keep in mind that there is always two sides to a story. We only of one side which is based on according to.
secondly, I do belief this post belongs here. it is more suitable for the political forum, because this story has nothing to do with Islam. I don't know what the posters intention was, but i have to disagree with the post being here. Somalia as we all know, and I quote " is among the world's most violent and impoverished countries". There is no real leadership in Somalia. All Institutions have broken down and the country I believe resembles a country of lawlessness. I believe the Rape and the stoning if this events did occur is a symptom of the problems that is going on in Somalia. It is not natural for gang rape to occur in an organised Islam society, and then for jungle justice to be carried out is even more un-Islamic.
Thirdly, People who have real Knowledge of Islamic Law and Justice will know that such sentence can not be passed if events occurred as reported. There is either more to the story that we are unaware of, the people who ordered and carried out the stoning where totally wrong and there will have to answer to Allah, or the story was a fabrication
I reserve judgment and comment because I don't want to speak out of ignorance, please let us all try a little bit of that.

I have read,re-read and read this story over and over again

I find it hard to believe that people can  be so heartless.

Why do people do evil acts and try to justify themselves by including sharia?

The girl reported her story, she asked for justice to be served and they in turn with their sick and twisted minds turned it to mean that the little girl asked to be stoned to death

All the blood thirsty people always find ways to justify their cruel acts, nothing is jjustifiablein this, ttheymurdered a 13 year old innocent girl in broad day light  with spectators too

muhsin:

I'm truly a Muslim. And I do believe in everything thats in the religion, Shari'a included. Yet, I see nowhere where a 13 year old girl would be lawfully stoned to death. Although, the stroy is not that lucid to tell us either that girl was married before or not. If she was married and later (or eventually) captured having an illigitimate affair with another man, then yes, she should rightly be stoned to death. But, if she is not, they did utterly wrong. And I darned well know and believe Allah will not let their devilish action unpunish now or then (hereafter).

A thirteen year old, regardless of her sexual history is just aperson to be forgiven. She may not have reached puberty, yet. But to have been raped, also, there isnt any justification for her losing her life for acts performed on her by individuals who are worse thn cattle!

In Islam, Allah spoke about mercy and forgiveness more than punishment and revenge. Allah emphasises that age of maturity is 40. We see that this late young soul was way less than 40. May Allah the Almighty forgive her and make her from th people of Paradise. May He strengthen her parents and her people to accept the loss and use her as a means of mercy and forgiveness for them, her loved ones.

I hope those vigilantes can have the backbones to do "justice" on the perpetrators of the evil act on her. I hope too that they search their soul and show anyone, either from Qur'an or Sunnah their justification for what they did. Considering the rulings that surrounds illegal sexual act, a person raped could not have been qualified as a willing perticipant of this illegal sex act! Even, if they have the most overwhelming evidence against her, the very fact that she said she was raped, nullified every shred of evidence.

Finally, Somalia has become a lawless society. Proof; is there a place for highsea piracy, which is the same as hijacking? Yet you see in the news segments where these people indulge in such evil. Could they be people who make the muslim prayers in full concentration? I doubt it, because they must be always ready to attack or be anticipating attacks from many quarters.

Not all acts have its grounding in Islam. The rape, and the killing of the raped, and hijacking are just some of these evil acts.

And please tell me what you know as verdict of fornication--commiting unlawful sex by a married man or woman? Isn't it stoning to death?
Thanks.

Kudo to the father who defended the "honor" of her daughter. Even if she was 23 or older, a woman raped should not be punished by death, for even inviting the rape, while the evil men who raped her were not punished first. The men were at least just as guilty because they could have walked away.
