Neither the story or your terrible pun are funny. Stop laughing.

Part of me gets some perverse satisfaction out of backwards-ass fundamentalist relgious types suffering of their own accord. But beyond that initial reaction, I think of how sad it must be to be born into a society with no choice but indoctrination and conformity. The guise of religion softens the perception of such preordinance being unjust, but in reality these strict religious cultures are no less disturbing than a socially determinate totalitarian state.

I pity these women. Really makes me appreciate my freedom.

How very 21st century of them.

I'm laughing that I accidentally put "stone age" without even thinking of its implication. Stop having an ironic username.

Nothing new here. There are a lot more messed up things happening than this in that part of the world. Shouldn't be surprising.

 

[belgurdo]

Yeah, just business as usual in Africa. Makes me wish the contintent as a whole were more enlightened, though, but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon

Bauchi is a part of Northern Islamic Nigeria where they suspended polio vaccination because it was a part of the western world to make their women infertile last year, so a polio outbreak occured. Some states are still objecting to the shots today

You know I like Nas... but the next rapper that says we should go back...

"Champ, what did you think of Africa?"
Ali replied, "Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat."

from an earlier stoning conviction that was overturned. Just keep throwing till the person is dead.

How big would the stones be? "It could be something like this," says the attorney general, holding up his fist.

And how would the execution be carried out? "They will dig a pit, and then they will put the convict in a way that she will not be able to escape, and then she will be stoned."

The precise method, explains Mr Sanyinna carefully, is up to the judge in the case.

"Another way is that she could be tied up against a tree or pillar."

Islam doesn't support stoning. Stoning in these Muslim countries comes from a bunch of writings compiled about 200 years after Islam was founded which were heavily influenced by christian, jewish and other writings and thought. Stoning was/is a Jewish law which was later adopted by Muslim law. However, as I said earlier, Islam doesn't support stoning.
