Afghan Women Will be Stoned to Death for Adultery, Declares Taliban Leader Akhundzada in New Audio

Afghan women will be publicly flogged and stoned to death for “crimes like adultery”, Taliban’s supreme leader Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada has purportedly declared in a new audio message in which he also challenges Western democracies. The audio, released online by the national broadcaster, also announces the strict implementation of the Islamic code of Shariah.

“You say it’s a violation of women’s rights when we stone them (women) to death… But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery. We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public,” Akhundzada declared.

“These are all against your democracy but we will continue doing it. We both say we defend human rights – we do it as God’s representative and you as the devil’s.”

According to Akhundzada, women’s rights as advocated by the international community are against the Taliban’s rigid interpretation of Islamic Sharia.

1. This makes my soul sick.

And I’m sure the women won’t get a fair hearing in determining if they are “guilty”… This is disgusting and sickening.

2. Somehow I doubt the men who participate in the adultery will be stoned either...

It sickens me. And then I realize how much many in christofascist wing of the republican party would be OK with this for the woman.

3. Bet they don't stone the men to death. Or at all. n/t

4. They flog and stone women to death "as God's representatives."

Everyone else is the devil.

We have our own version here in the US.
Women are left to die, tortured, sent to jail over reproductive "crimes."

5. Never underestimate how much our world hates women.

6. The men who stone women and say they're god's representatives--their only god is their penis

and the power they accumulate to keep people without penis' subjugated. Because it makes their god happy.

7. Why aren't the men equally guilty?

Because they ARE men?
