Life Under Sharia

Brutality and Injustice
Islamist Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, defends
the freedoms and liberties of Western society against "stealth
jihad," a campaign by Islamists to slowly and methodically implement a
Sharia-compliant theocracy in the West. Sharia is Islamic law, based on the
Koran and the teachings and personal actions of Mohammad (known as The
Sunnah, noted and reported in Hadiths).
Below, very personal examples of life under
Sharia in Islamist societies. The intolerance, the brutality, the inhumanity.
The extreme lack of religious pluralism, women's rights, free speech and
equality under the law.

A Sudanese woman is lashed by uniformed
policemen at a Khartoum police station. The crowd of men gathered around
laugh at the process. Following the spectacle is an interview with Khartoum
Governor Dr. Abd Al-Rahman Al-Khadhr, which aired on Blue Nile TV on December
12, 2010.
Under Sharia law in Sudan, it is illegal for women to wear pants in public. The penalty:
40 lashes.

Excerpt from interview:
Gov. Abd Al-Rahman Al-Khadr: What was aired
was the implementation of an Islamic punishment. … We should consider
the more important issue in this case – our penal code is in keeping with
Islam, and the Shari'a is the main source of our legislation. Islamic
punishments are carried out to purge the perpetrator.
INTERVIEWER: This is not a case of a woman
wearing pants, is it?
Gov. Abd Al-Rahman Al-Khadr: No, it is not. I
did not mention the nature of the crime, because I do not want to slander
her. It has to do with immoral activity and prostitution.

A woman caught the attention of Saudi
Arabia's feared Sharia Police at an upscale shopping mall in Riyadh. Contrary
to the strictly enforced Sharia law, she was wearing lipstick, nail polish,
and a few strands of hair were visible under her veil. The agency that
zealously enforces Sharia law in Saudi Arabia is called the Commission for
the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.
This very brave woman stunned the Sharia
Police – who are used to absolute obedience – by putting up a public protest
and recording the incident with her camera phone. The State Police were eventually
called in. It is not known what eventually happened to this woman, who lives
in a closed society with no civil liberties. Since the video was posted on
YouTube, it is reasonable to assume she survived – at least for the
short-term.

Excerpt from video:
Woman: None of your business! I'm free to put
on nail polish if I want to. … I'm not getting out! What are you gonna do
about it? … You are not the boss of me, and you can't tell me not to wear
nail polish!
A lot has been written about women being stoned to death under Sharia law. But rarely has
it been seen. The cell-phone video below shows a woman being stoned to death,
allegedly by the Taliban in Pakistan, along the Afghanistan border. Watching
it is very upsetting, but necessary to serve witness to the brutality of
Sharia law.
The woman is ruthlessly killed in a slow form
of execution by having stones thrown at her again and again. Her
"crime": allegedly being seen out with a man.
Below, ABC News shows a heavily edited and
sanitized version of the video in a Sept 24, 2010 report by Brian Ross:
Below, an unedited version, as originally
shown by Al-Aan TV in Dubai:

translation of the Al-Aan TV segment.

World famous concert pianist Fazil Say is
considering never returning to his native Turkey after a Turkish court
accepted an indictment against him for allegations of insulting Islam.
After decades of secular rule, Turkey has recently fallen to the forces of
Islamism. Say's offense? A tweet:
The openly atheist Say wrote a tweet mocking
the muezzin, a person who leads the call to prayer in a mosque. "The
muezzin finished the azan in 22 seconds. What's the rush? A lover? A raki
table?" he asked. He also retweeted a verse attributed to the 11th-century
poet Omar Khayyám: "You say rivers of wine flow in heaven, is heaven a
tavern for you? You say two houris (beautiful young virgin women) await each
believer there, is heaven a brothel to you?"
Say is known for his electric
performances of Beethoven. Great art that will never be heard where
Sharia reigns.

A Kuwaiti man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for allegedly sending
"disparaging" tweets about the Prophet Mohammad. Hamad al-Naqi
was found guilty of "endangering state security" – whatever that
means.
Mr. al-Naqi is actually lucky. Shortly after
being arrested for his "crime," Kuwait's parliament approved a law
imposing the death penalty on any Muslim who insults God, his
prophets, messengers, Prophet Mohammad's wives or the Koran, in any form of
expression, if they don't repent.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
infamously told an audience at Columbia University that there are no
homosexuals in Iran. If that's true, it's because they are being murdered
under Sharia law.
Four Iranian gay men are due to be executed
for sodomy under their nation's Sharia law, according to recent stories in
the Huffington Post and Jerusalem Post. The four men -- identified by the Human
Rights Activist News Agency in Iran as Saadat Arefi, Vahid Akbari, Javid
Akbari and Houshmand Akbari -- are set to be hanged after their guilty
verdicts were approved recently by "high court" judges.
A recent study found homosexuals in Iran are
comprehensively and systematically brutalized by the Islamist regime, which
exposes them to horrific punishment, bullying and risk of suicide. The first
detailed report on Iran's homosexual community has found that its members
live under social and state repression, with some being persecuted, forced
into exile or even sentenced to death.
A series of photos from 2005 shows the
hanging of two terrified teenage Iranian boys, allegedly for their
"crime" of homosexuality. The photos are of Mahmoud Asgari, 16, and
Ayaz Marhoni, 18.
The Washington Post reported on the controversy surrounding
the photos and the difficulty in verifying the "crimes" of these
two teenagers in the closed, totalitarian Islamist society of Iran.

The following is footage of an Islamist
demonstration held in Tunisia in response to statements made by an unnamed
Tunisian expat deemed heretical to Islam. The footage aired on the Al-Jazeera
network on June 8, 2012. Translated by Memri.
Excerpt from video:
Tunisian cleric Mokhtar Jbeli: That man had
the audacity to affront us and all that is sacred to us. He does not respect
the Tunisian people. He must be punished. We demand that he be placed on
trial and punished.
Interviewer: Even if he apologizes?
Mokhtar Jbeli: Anybody who affronts the
Prophet Muhammad must be punished by death, even if he repents. The
punishment for heresy must be imposed upon him. Even if he repents, he must
be killed, because it is the decree of Allah.
Crowd: Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.
Mokhtar Jbeli: Islam will be victorious,
whether the atheists, the infidels, the secular, and their ilk like it or
not.
Tunisian cleric Shihab Al-Din Tleish: Let
everybody know that for the sake of the Prophet Muhammad, we are willing to
sacrifice our fathers, our mothers, and ourselves. We will be slaughtered
for your sake, oh Messenger of Allah. We will not allow the Messenger of
Allah to be cursed.

According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the
most authoritative reference work on Islam in the English language,
"there is unanimity that the male apostate must be put to death."
WARNING: The video below of a brutal
beheading is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. It is highly recommended that you do not
view. It is posted here only to serve as an historical witness to the
brutality of Sharia law – the barbarity of Islamist societies can not be
denied. For those who prefer not to view it, a full textual summary can be found here.
The "crime": converting to
Christianity and refusing to renounce it.
Liberal talk show host Tawfiq Okasha recently
appeared on "Egypt Today," airing a video of Muslims slicing off a
young man's head off for the crime of apostasy -- in this instance, the crime
of converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce it.
A young man appears held down by masked men.
His head is pulled back, with a knife to his throat. He does not struggle and
appears resigned to his fate. Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or
"narrator," chants a number of Muslim prayers and supplications,
mostly condemning Christianity, which, because of the Trinity, is referred to
as a polytheistic faith: "Let Allah be avenged on the polytheist
apostate"; "Allah empower your religion, make it victorious against
the polytheists"; "Allah, defeat the infidels at the hands of the
Muslims," and "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his
messenger."
Then, to cries of "Allahu Akbar!"—
Allah is greater!"—the masked man holding the knife to the apostate's
throat begins to slice away, severing the head completely after approximately
one minute of graphic knife-carving, as the victim drowns in blood. Finally,
the severed head is held aloft to more Islamic slogans of victory.
