Afghan woman stoned to death for adultery

FAIZABAD, Afghanistan (Reuters) - An Afghan woman has been stoned to death for adultery, police said on Sunday, the first such incident in Afghanistan since the Taliban's ouster from power.
Amina, a 29 year-old married woman, was publicly stoned to death on the basis of a district court's decision on Thursday in Argo district to the west of Faizabad, the provincial capital of Badakhshan, they said.
"She has been stoned to death," provincial police chief, General Shah Jahan Noori, confirmed to Reuters, adding a team has been sent to the area to investigate the incident further.
Adultery is forbidden in the Muslim country and under Islamic sharia law the penalty can range from flogging to stoning to death.
Several women and men were given such punishments in Badakhshan, a remote northeastern province, during the government of the Mujahideen (holy warriors) in the 1990s.
The practice became common during the rule of hardline Taliban who controlled most of Afghanistan till late 2001 when they were ousted from power by U.S.-led forces.
A witness, Mujibur Rahman, told Reuters that Amina was dragged out of her parent's house by local officials and her husband who stoned her to death while the man was flogged, whipped 100 times and then freed.
Amina's stoning was the first one in Afghanistan since President Hamid Karzai was installed to power after the U.S.-led forces overthrew the Taliban's government, Noori said.

I don't believe this story of stoned women! You see, the liberal media is EVIL.....I know that because Sean Hannity interviewed Ann Coulter on Teevee and they both said the same!!! Our boys fight for our freedumb 8,000 miles away from home and the liberal media comes out with this story! Honey, get me the phone so I can call Sean Hannity to vent my anger!"

Thank you!
Meanwhile Joe Beer Belly on the phone with Sean Hannity:
Joe: Sean, these damn liberal lies about Afghanistan make me sick!
Sean: Our soldiers fight for freedumb, Joe, all around the world like gentle jolly green giants with M-16's, all to protect our freedumb to choose which shopping malls to go to and SUV's to drive to get there. You know, these sick liberals don't even care about your SUV and cable TV or your beer and ball games, Joe....they want to take it ALL away from you, all your freedumbs!
Joe: Sean, you're so right, man. I can't stand my liberal neighbors with their John Kerry signs and "Support our Troops, Bring 'Em Home!" bumper stickers! I mean, they're working in their basements to devise ways to take away my freedumb to drive my SUV 2 miles down to Applebees for BBQ night!!! I swear Sean, please tell your listeners that victory in Afghanistan and Iraq are VITAL to our freedumbs. Saddam was on the brink of bringing charges against the US in that pathetic UN building that we have too many shopping malls!!!
Sean: You know, Joe, these liberals have never even been to Afghanistan or Iraq? They've never even been there, so how do they know it's so bad over there!! I haven't seen one ugly thing that ever happened there!! The liberals faked photographs of Abu Ghraib, did you ever hear about that!? You have to read Bill Kristol's articles, the guy is genius.
Joe: Yes, pathetic liberals Sean, and they call themselves journalists!! Only Ann Coulter and yourself are true journalists. You and Ann made the trip over there too, right Sean?? You saw all the good things when you and Ann went there, right!
Sean: Listen, I gotta a caller from Zion Christian Church in Topeka, Kansas I must take right now, Joe. Look, remember, "Let Freedumb Ring" and say a prayer for/to Our Supreme Commander, George W Bush.

I am happy to see that even the evil puppet government that the US has set up in Afghanistan has not prevented Afghans from being Afghans. Our troops are bogged down mainly in Kabul and out in the countryside the people are returning to their normal culture. You can't force pornography, feminism and consumerism on a people unless you physically control them and that ain't happening.
