What could possible be the justification for this mob’s action—and the thing is, they would sincerely believe what they did was RIGHT in the sight of God. Of course, religion makes this possible and yet, some say we should not condemn religion or such things which have become widespread of religion.
The owner of a book burnt by another would be upset but reasonably, the person will not kill the one who did the burning—yet because the Koran is deemed Holy, someone who burns one MUST be killed.
A Koran can be re-printed even if burnt and a killed human being cannot be re-printed so why should anyone even consider hurting another let alone killing another for destroying a book?
According to MailOnline; the above is a screenshot from a “shocking video which has emerged of crowds of men repeatedly stamping on the 27-year-old, named only as Farkhunda, near the Shah-e Doh Shamshira shrine and mosque in the heart of Kabul.At one point, one of the attackers can be seen striking the woman with a piece of wood while another was filmed hurling a brick at her as she lay on the ground.
Some of the men stamped on the victim’s limp body while others could be seen punching and kicking her. Reports have emerged that her body was then taken to the Kabul river and burned. The mob carried out the lynching after she was accused of setting fire to pages of the Koran.”
Sadly, this woman is said to have been mentally unstable—and if she was even sound, her action did not in any sense merit this response in a civilised society. But the religious zealots found that killing the woman was a proportionate response to the Koran burning.
It’s appealing and Heather Barr, a senior researcher for women’s rights in Asia for Human Rights Watch has said “I would certainly hope the government would be trying to arrest and prosecute everyone who was involved and doing an internal investigation into whether the police response was appropriate.”
Apart from the holiness attached to the Koran which means anyone who taints it deserves to die, what else could be the motive behind this? It’s time religion begins to get its act together else it is becoming insane. And religious people should come out in their numbers to condemn such diabolical actions. I doubt most will say anything…
If this woman was suffering from a mental illness, now tell us what this mob was suffering from?
Haha, you are very pathetic. Who ever wrote this article is a no good coward. If this had happened to be Christians, you would have hurled insults and talked about how Christianity is a no good religion. Well it happens to be islam, and you are careful with your words, claiming religion when in fact its specifically stated this was done by muslims. Kwasia, dude you’ve lost all credibility.
Amen brother preach on GC cowards
loool they know what will happen if they ever attempt anything on islam…
