Radical Muslims have once again perpetrated a heinous, misogynistic act of barbarity against a female child. Such acts reveal the deeply repressed state of some Muslim males. They force their women to cover themselves up so as not to arouse sexual temptations, apparently not trusting themselves. They blame women who are, for example, raped — even executing them. Such “punishments” are almost incomprehensible to most Westerners, but the civilized world needs to pay attention to these acts of violence, as they provide deep insight into the “thinking” of Islamists. From the Daily Mail, entitled, “Somali girl ‘pleaded for mercy’ before Islamists stoned her to death for being raped:”

A girl of 13 begged for mercy moments before a mob buried her up to her shoulders and stoned her to death, it was claimed yesterday.

The Somalian youngster is said to have pleaded ‘Don’t kill me, don’t kill me’ before her horrific execution in front of a 1,000-strong crowd.

A boy is thought to have been shot dead amid the appalling scenes inside a football stadium in Kismayu, a rebel-held port.

According to Amnesty International, the girl was 13 and had been raped by three men. …

A Unicef statement said: ‘She sought protection from the authorities, who then accused her of adultery and sentenced her to death.

‘A child was victimised twice - first by the perpetrators of the rape and then by those responsible for administering justice.’ …

A witness told the BBC the woman had begged for her life and had been crying as she was forced into the hole in the ground.

He said the girl had asked the Islamic administration in Kismayo: ‘What do you want from me?’

They replied : ‘We will do what Allah has instructed us.’

She said: ‘I’m not going, I’m not going. Don’t kill me, don’t kill me.’

The witness added: ‘A few minutes later more than 50 men tried to stone her.’

He said no one tried to stop the Islamist officials, who were armed.

Such acts of barbarity against women are not unique to Somalia. In 2007 in Saudi Arabia, a Shiite girl was gang-raped 14 times. A judge sentenced her to 200 lashes for being the victim. Apparently, if this judge had had his druthers, he would’ve gone farther:

… On November 27, Okaz newspaper published an interview with Judge Dr. Ibrahim bin Salih al-Khudairi of the Appeals Court in Riyadh, in which he said that he would have sentenced her to death. …
