Somali woman buried up to her neck and then pelted to death with stones in front of a large crowd in Kismayo

Shocking sad news from BBC today, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 - Somali woman executed by stoning:

A woman in Somalia has been stoned to death after an Islamic Sharia law court found her guilty of adultery.

The woman was buried up to her neck and then pelted to death with stones in front of a large crowd in Kismayo.

It was the first such execution in the southern port city since Islamist insurgents captured it from government-allied forces in August.

A local Islamist leader said the woman, Aisho Ibrahim Dhuhulow, had pleaded guilty to committing adultery.

"She was asked several times to review her confession but she stressed that she wanted Sharia law and the deserved punishment to apply," said Sheikh Hayakallah.

A group of men performed the execution in one of the city's main squares in front of thousands of people, AFP news agency said.

Such ignorant barbarians deserve life imprisonment. I wonder what befell the person who committed adultery with her. Sharia law makes no sense to me. I am totally against it operating in any shape or form here in UK.
