Drug use gets a beating in Yemen

Jail time or a lashing? In Yemen if you use drugs they beat you with a lash. There is no jailtime, just the scars of the whipping you carry forever.

Ah, the religion of tolerance and peace, such a wonderful world to live in.

Al-Qaeda lashes 5 youth over alleged drugs in Yemen

SANA’A: According to reports coming from the southern Yemen province of Abyan, al-Qaeda militants have punished a group of five youth for consuming narcotics by lashing them.

The group, Ansar al Shariah, which has declared it wants to restore their own interpretation of the Sharia Law, or Islamic law, has been handing out public corporal punishment over the past few months.

Uh, no, it is not their own interpretation of sharia, it is the pure and basic sharia law laid down from the Qur'an and hadiths of Muhammad. It is the sharia law that is considered right and true by the leaders of Islam and Al-Azhar University in Cairo.

A young man recently passed away after his hand was cut off as he had been accused of stealing electric cables by the Islamists.

According to al-Arabiya news channel, the punishment was carried out in a field just outside Jaar, a town under the Islamic group’s control in front of dozens of witnesses.
