Islamic Insanity  -  Sexual relations outside of marriage now forbidden under Sharia



Thanks to  "The Libertarian Republican"  for a heads up on this story.


From Eric Dondero:

You have to wonder, where's the outrage in the West? Why isn't this top of the headlines at Yahoo News, CNN, Huffington Post, Washington Post, MSNBC, ABC News, ect... If this had been Christians flogging a young couple for sex outside of marriage, it'd be all over the news. As it is, its Muslim repression of individual liberties. So, we have to go to foreign news services to get the story.

Notice too the bearded white Arab man in the video (17 sec. mark). White Muslims whipping dark-skinned Black Africans.




A Timbuktu resident’s lament: “The radical Islamists are destroying our culture”

Radical Islamists, who took control of Timbuktu in April, have been relentlessly destroying the tombs of Sufi saints, which are the pride of this pious city’s residents. One of our Observers there told us he feels helpless and powerless against the disappearance of ancestral symbols of his culture, which the Islamists consider to be idolatrous.
.
Invited by the Islamists themselves, a journalist from Al-Jazeera filmed the fighters from the Ansar Dine movement as they destroyed two tombs at the great mosque of Djingareyber with the help of clubs and picks. Djingareyber is one of the three main religious shrines in Timbuktu, but also a pilgrimage destination for Sufi Muslims.




In early July, the same Salafist group had already shattered seven of the town’s 16 saints’ tombs and destroyed the door to the mosque of Sidi Yahia. Two months earlier, the tomb of the scholar Sidi Mahmoud Ben Amar -- one of the Sufi saints most venerated by Timbuktu citizens -- that was burned to the ground. Sufism is considered heretical by defenders of radical Islam.

For almost three months now, Salafists from the Ansar Dine movement as well as members of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQMI) have imposed Sharia law in Timbuktu. Faced with the threat posed against the cultural heritage of this city, UNESCO declared Timbuktu an endangered World Heritage Site on June 28.     (France24.com)
