Sheria za Kiislamu zina adhabu za ajabu kweli. Angalia mfano wa hizi hapa chini.
Serikali ya Tanzania haina dini. Ziko sheria za Kikristu (Canon Law) lakini si sawa serikali yetu izitumie. Ziko vile vile sheria za Kiislamu, SHARIA, na si sawa serikali izitumie.
JK acha kuzunguka zunguka. Unataka kutubandika Sharia Law? Hatutaki.

Somalia: Al-Shabaab cut mans hand for Robbery
Saturday, 09 May 2009 19:03
Mohamed Omar Ismaiil was found guilty of robbery by governing Islamic militants (Al-Shabaab) in port town of Kismayo. Under Sharia law, the Islamic court has sentenced Mohamed Omar Ismaiil to have his right hand cut off. The age of Mohamed is assumed to be around 35 years old.
It is alleged that Mr. Mohamed Omar entered a house in Kismayo and stole number of clothing items. Mr. Mohamed Omar has admitted to part of the crime. With large crowds, the judge, Sheikh Abdi Wali had read to the court the punishment.
This is not the first time the Islamic group known as Al Shabaab, who introduced strict form of Sharia, or Islamic Law, carried out this sort of incident, it was just last year when they amputated a young man named Yusuf.
Under strict Sharia law, theft is sentenced by severing their hand. The death penalty is meted out for murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy and drug trafficking.
The sentence was carried out around 5 pm local time today. Prior to hand being cut off Mohamed looked nervous, but was under extreme pain as there was no medical support provided.
We have seen pictures, which we will not publish. It is truly horrific. The alleged crime and punishment does not balance in this day and age. It is extreme and barbaric. Despite the progress made over the last several hundred years, there are pockets in this world were medieval punishment is handed down without any compassion or weighing against alleged crime. Items stolen were valued around $90 US Dollars!
The future for Mohamed Omar does not look bright in a country with no medical support or welfare system. This is crime against humanity.

Somalia robbers sentenced to amputation
Tuesday, 23 June 2009 12:31
MOGADISHU Four Somalis accused of theft were sentenced Monday by the Shebab insurgent group in Mogadishu to have their right hand and left leg amputated, the ad-hoc court's judge told AFP.
"The four men sentenced today by the court of the mujahedeen (holy warriors) were accused of robbing residents at night in several Mogadishu neighbourhoods," Sheikh Abdallah al-Haq said.
"Therefore, they face the punishment provided for by Sharia law," he added.
During the hearing, which took place in the open in northern Mogadishu in front of hundreds of local residents, Shebaab officials displayed three mobile phones and two assault rifles they charged had been stolen by the defendants.
"The defendants admitted the charges brought against them and were sentenced accordingly. Each one of them will have his right hand and left leg amputated publicly," Sheikh Abdallah said.
The Shebaab group, currently engaged in a deadly military offensive in Mogadishu and central Somalia against the fledgling administration of President Sheikh Sharif, explained the sentence could only be carried out on Tuesday.
"They will undergo their punishment early tomorrow because in such a hot climate they risk bleeding to death if they are amputated in the middle of the day," a Shebaab commander told AFP.
While most of the political players in Somalia recognise Islam as the main source of legislation, the Shebaab have always advocated a very strict interpretation of Sharia.
An alliance including the Shebaab and hardline Islamists already controls and administers large swathes of southern Somalia, where courts impose tough sentences that have been condemned by international rights groups.
In May, Amnesty International issued a statement condemning amputations and unlawful killings it said were being routinely carried out by the local authorities in and around the southern city of Kismayo.
In October, a 13-year-old girl was stoned to death in public by around 50 men on one of Kismayo's main squares. She was accused of adultery by local hardline Islamists after reporting that she had been raped by three men. (By Sharia "law" a woman is always guilty because she is... a woman. Sharia "law" was invented and implemented by... a man over 1400 years ago.)
In May Mohamed Omar Ismaiil was found guilty of robbery by governing Islamic militants (Al-Shabaab) in port of Kismayo, he also had his hand cut off as punishment, see story (above).

Double amputation by Al-Shabaab: This is not Islam
Thursday, 25 June 2009 12:27
Mogadishu - (insidesomalia.org) - The al Shabaab group, which has foreign fighters in its ranks and is accused of close ties to al Qaeda, stepped up its attacks in early May. It now controls most of southern Somalia and all but a few blocks of the capital Mogadishu.
On Thursday, the insurgents used long knives to cut off a hand and a foot each from four young men in Mogadishu as punishment for theft, witnesses said.
It was the first double amputation in Somalia.
The men screamed in pain, and some spectators vomited.
Al Shabaab has carried out executions, floggings and single-limb amputations before, mainly in the southern port of Kismayu. Movies and soccer games are banned in areas it controls while men and women cannot travel together on public transport. Last month Mohamed Omar Ismaiil was found guilty of Robbery by governing Islamic militants (Al-Shabaab) in port of Kismayo and cut his hand, see story (above).
Al Shabaab's strict practices have shocked many Somalis, who are traditionally moderate Muslims, although residents give the insurgents credit for restoring order to regions they control.
"We have carried out this sentence under the Islamic religion and we will punish like this everyone who carries out these acts," said al Shabaab official Sheikh Ali Mohamud Fidow.
Security analysts and government officials say the rebels have been regularly supplied with weapons this year in spite of the U.N. arms embargo, while foreign fighters from Pakistan, Afghanistan and other nations have joined the battle.
Western governments and some of Somalia's neighbours fear that if the insurgents succeed in toppling the government, the country would then be used as a base to destabilise neighbors.
