Islamic law prevails again
You may remember earlier in the year when I posted an article
about a judge who ordered a man to be blinded by acid for doing the same thing
to his wife.
Well it has happened again. Yet another man in the Islamic community has
decided to become a terrorist against his own wife. This is an incredible
story.
Adamu Hussaini Maidoya decided to cut off the right leg of his wife, Amina. He accused her of infidelity, after “over exposing” herself to a doctor to get an injection.
If she had to go get a shot from the doctor, chances are she was required
to expose herself to the doctor. It makes perfect sense to me.
Adamu deserves the same pain he gave to his wife. How
poetic, it has happened.
A Muslim court in northern Nigeria has ordered that a 45-year-old man’s leg be
amputated as punishment for doing the same to his wife. Judge Alhaji Abdu Yerima
ordered that the convict’s right leg be amputated at the knee and that the
person or doctor who executes the sentence should not administer anaesthetic or
painkillers.
"He must experience similar pain his wife went through when he cut off her
right leg from the knee,” the judge ruled.
I think this guy deserves this, and again I must applaud Islamic law here.
Anyone who hurts his wife deserves the same treatment by his country’s judicial
system.

He could ask for leniency, but he doesn’t have a leg to stand on…. Well, he won’t soon anyway.

I’m with you on this ramdac. I don’t condone violence. I don’t abdicate unusual and cruel punishments… But if a man is going to unnecessarily abuse his spouse he deserves to have the same done to him.
Don’t we live in a day and age where a woman shouldn’t have to live in fear of a husband who’d hit her for dinner being late? With that said, don’t we live in a day and age where someone who thinks it’s hunky dory to cause unnecssary bodily harm to another person can be subject to their own judgement?
Hip hip hooray for Islamic law!

while I fully agree about not hitting women regardless if she is your wife or not, did you really have to use the ‘terrorist’ buzz word? You catching the GW Bush Syndrome? eh?
“Yet another man in the Islamic community has decided to become a terrorist against his own wife.”
eeeeeek!!!

Yes, I had to use it. I only used it because he was Muslim. Had he been a white guy from Georgia, or Texas I might have said “redneck”.
Now does it seem justified?
January 8th, 2004 at 7:50 pm
oooo What if he had been Mexican? Would you have used “spic” or “wetback”?? I personally wou…
O, wait - That’s not the point.
Sorry… lol

I think we covered the problems of violence against women and the appropriate punishments.
But I have a question, if Muslim = terrorist, georgian and Texan = redneck, Mexican = spic and wetback.
what does Louisiana and Arkansas represent.

White Trash?! Brandy… you better take that back! :p LOL
January 12th, 2004 at 7:19 pm
I was assuming that was the Arkansas part, so I was ok with it
January 13th, 2004 at 1:07 pm
Hey… you know how black people can say the “n” word and Mexicans can make “wetback” jokes?? Ha! Well, I’m part Mexican, part Caucasian (and part a lot of other things), and I lived in a trailer park for a stint. I can make these jokes allllllll night if I want!
(insert evil laughter here)

Brandy, i agree you can make those jokes. I didnt know there was anything wrong with trailers.

There’s not. The one I lived in was nice, and the one I’m moving into is, too. But there’s a social stigma… Bah! on it, and yet I feel the urge to throw on Garth Brook’s “Friends in Low Places”….

I’ve always been told that Arkansas = hillbilly, Louisiana = coon ass, Texas = jack ass.
That’s just what I’ve always heard.

P.S. - I lived in a trailer park until I was 3. Then we couldn’t afford it anymore so we moved in with my Paw Paw. Then my dad went to work for Brown and Root (think Halliburton) and we got upgraded to a double-wide. Oh yeah.

Yeah i am proud of mine, except when it rains real hard my skylight leaks. I dont know who decided to put a luxury item like a skylight in the trailer, but dang it sucks. Yall dont worry though, I gooped it up with a lot of caulk, I think it is fixed now.
Yeah Lillie i forgot about coon ass, but that is the southern part of the state, if you live in North Lousiana you get left out of everything, including the name calling

Yeah, north louisianians get left out of dang near everything. It stinks
Where the money goes is always south of where I used to live in North LA.
