MIM: It should be publicly known that amputations and beheadings are supported by clerics based in the UK and Europe and are not just a phenomenon in the Middle East or Asia. Bilal Philips, a convert to Islam, (and unindicted co conspirator 34 in the 1993 WTC bombings) who heads Muslim 'educational' centers the UK and the UAE . In a response to a questioner on his website about which day of the week beheadings and amputations should take place Philips replied: http://www.bilalphilips.com/qa/d_000003.htm Question on Death ( Mawt )
------------------------------------------- MIM: Bilal Philips proclaimed that " the cutting of hands and heads,stoning of people to death, and lashings are only to be held on Fridays". Since public executions of Muslims are limited to once a week, the Islamic Circle of North America, (ICNA), has established the Muslim Alert Network, to fight against media reporting of Islamist atrocities in negative terms. Indeed nowhere is the claim that "Islam is a mercy for all mankind" better reflected then in the shari'a justice system which only allots one day a week for decapitations, mutililations, stonings, and lashings. Philips extolled the low crime rate in Saudi society, noting that it had a population equal to New York City but had less murders in a year then NYC has in a week. He stated that "one of the key factors" for this was the Islamist practice of "public executions". ------------------------------------------- MIM: Closer to home, the Saudi funded Islamic Circle of North America declaration of goals complements the agenda of the 'Muslim Alert Network' which is dedicated to combatting the "media portrayals of Muslims as violent fanatics". The head of ICNA in Philadelphia Iqbal Baqai, who was orchestrating demonstrations against the Inquirer newspaper which had published one of the cartoons, (along with a disclaimer justifying their exercise of free speech), told a CSM journalist that: "We are going to keep protesting till they say they are sorry," he says. "Muslims are very angry and the Inquirer offices could even be attacked." http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0209/p02s01-ussc.htm------------------------------------------- Taliban publicly execute murderer, amputate two robbers AFP, August 14, 1998KABUL, Aug 14 (AFP) - The hardline Taliban Friday publicly executed a murderer and amputated limbs of two robbers amid shouts of "God is the Greatest" at the Kabul stadium, witnesses said.Thousands of Taliban soldiers and citizens, including women, watched the proceedings.The murderer squatted and after his face was covered with a pink mask he was shot dead by the father of the man allegedly killed by the accused earlier this year.Later a team of surgeons wearing blue masks chopped off right hands and left feet of two men convicted of highway robbery.The surgeons amputated the limbs after anaesthetizing the convicts and left the severed limbs on the ground for the spectators to rush and have a close look.The three were convicted by a military tribunal created by the Taliban supreme leader Mulla Omar to deal with criminal cases under the Islamic Sharia law.Taliban, who now control almost three-quarter of Afghanistan, have enforced punishments in public under the Islamic law which they say helped deter and curb criminal acts.April 24, 1998![]() 1998 Taliban amputation of right hand at stadium while thousands watch the spectacle Picking up one of the hands by the little finger, a militiaman raised it in the air and told the crowd: "This is the cut hand of a thief, the Shariat [Muslim law] punishment for any of you caught stealing." ![]() ![]() ![]() Talat Khan, a young Afghan convicted for theft, whose right hand and left foot were amputated on the orders of the Islamic court established by the Taliban in Lashkargah (Helmand province). ----------------------------------------------
