Sharia Court Orders Man With 80 Wives To Thin The ‘Herd’ Or Die
Islam … It’s such a neat and tidy religion … So organized and precise.
Granted, Christianity (Catholicism in particular) has it’s blood-stained past … But we ARE talking about the late 20th and the early 21st Centuries here … So just leave that whole ancient history business in the books.
Look around the world. I think it is very safe to assume/claim 99.9999% of the religious persecution and killing in the name of one’s ‘god’ is being done by one religion in particular against non-believers …
By the way … the court refers to the man’s abundance of wives as a … herd.
Women’s rights groups? Feminists?
{loud chirping of crickets …}
An Islamic body in Nigeria has issued a death sentence on a man who married 80 women well above the maximum of four allowed, the Guardian newspaper reports.
The Jamatu Nasril Islam (JNI), one of Nigeria’s top Islamic bodies, said in a statement that Mohammadu Bello Masaba from the central Niger state stood condemned to death unless he divorced 76 of the women in four days.
“Unless Masaba repents within four days and take only four wives from the herd he remains condemned to death, according to Sharia law,” the statement said.
“Any Muslim who married more than the approved number of wives at a time either by mistake or out of ignorance is instructed to choose but only four and ask for Allah’s forgiveness,” the group said.
Since the return of Nigeria to civil rule in 1999 a dozen predominantly Muslim states in the north have re-introduced a strict version of the Islamic Sharia legal system.
Sharia law is often seen as more efficient and less bureaucratic and corrupt than Nigeria’s secular courts.
The northern states pride themselves on applying a mild form of Sharia, with no deaths by stoning carried out and few amputations.
