If you need any more proof of just how shitty, how utterly, utterly shitty, a religion Islam can be, you might like to read this disturbing report in Britain’s Sunday paper, the Observer.
The headline sets the scene admirably: Rape victim, 13, stoned to death in Somalia.
Some earlier reports had put the victim, Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, at 23; now it’s emerged she’s just in her teens.
Ophelia Benson in her Butterflies and Wheels blog post is characteristically – and justifiably – angry. “Bastards bastards bastards,” she begins, continuing, “It can tip you right over the edge sometimes, contemplating how unfathomably foul people can be.”
She cites an Amnesty International report on the issue, which describes how the girl was stoned by 50 men with a lorry load of stones brought for the occasion. This took place in a stadium, watched by 1,000 people. As some ran onto the killing ground to try to save the girl’s life, militiamen opened fire, killing a boy who was a bystander.
You can read more on my regular blog here, but first let me ask this: this story has had a good airing, so there is no excuse for any Muslim groups, mosques or individuals not to be aware of it in Western societies with a free press, so how many will stand up and denounce it?
