Only 14, Bangladeshi girl charged with adultery was lashed to death

The details of the death of Hena Akhter is but a symptom, the disease is Islam.

Murdered for being raped, this beautiful little girl suffered the supreme punishment from Allah because in Islam, men are not responsibile for their carnal urges.  Women, or in this case a girl are responsibile for the behavior of men, and if they are raped it means they have tempted the men in some way, thus the punishment of lashing or stoning. 

A brutal and sadistic end to a blooming life, courtesy Muhammad.

This is Islam.

Only 14, Bangladeshi girl charged with adultery was lashed to death

Hena Akhter's last words to her mother proclaimed her innocence. But it was too late to save the 14-year-old girl.

Her fellow villagers in Bangladesh's Shariatpur district had already passed harsh judgment on her. Guilty, they said, of having an affair with a married man. The imam from the local mosque ordered the fatwa, or religious ruling, and the punishment: 101 lashes delivered swiftly, deliberately in public.

Hena dropped after 70.

Bloodied and bruised, she was taken to hospital, where she died a week later.

Amazingly, an initial autopsy report cited no injuries and deemed her death a suicide. Hena's family insisted her body be exhumed. They wanted the world to know what really happened to their daughter.

(.)"...Hena was walking from her room to an outdoor toilet when Mahbub Khan gagged her with cloth, forced her behind nearby shrubbery and beat and raped her.

Hena struggled to escape, Alya told CNN. Mahbub Khan's wife heard Hena's muffled screams and when she found Hena with her husband, she dragged the teenage girl back to her hut, beat her and trampled her on the floor.

The next day, the village elders met to discuss the case at Mahbub Khan's house, Alya said. The imam pronounced his fatwa. Khan and Hena were found guilty of an illicit relationship. Her punishment under sharia or Islamic law was 101 lashes; his 201.

And the voices of Western feminists and human rights activists should be clamoring for attention to condemn this travesty against women.

Wait for it...
