I was on CBN yesterday to discuss the recent incident in which a Muslim imam and a mosque leader in Philadelphia attempted to enforce the Qur’an’s prescribed punishment for theft: amputation of the hand.
“Hand Chopping Case Spotlights Sharia in America?,” CBNNews.com, July 26, 2014:
Two leaders of a West Philadelphia mosque are accused of trying to chop off a follower’s hand with a machete after a Monday morning prayer service.
The alleged incident happened at Masjid Ar-Razaqq Ul-Karim mosque.
Police say the suspect, Merv Mitchell, and the mosque’s imam accused the man of stealing. Chopping off his hand was his punishment.
Officers have arrested Mitchell, who is also known as Mabul Shoatz. They are still looking for the unidentified imam.
Robert Spencer, a noted authority on Islamic terrorism, told CBN News that this case is an example of Shariah law at work in the United States.
How common is this kind of punishment in America? Spencer explains more.
