Caning Results in Death

Where are the feminists from America? A Muslim woman in Bangladesh is caned and dies. Does anyone care about this poor woman and many like her? Why is it that those of us who are accused of Islamophobia are the only ones who give a rip about these women?

Read from Atlas Shrugs:

Bangladeshi Woman Dies After Caning Under Islamic (Sharia) Law

"Islamic law ..... respect it.

Bangladeshi 'stepson affair' woman dies after caning BBC


'Two people have been arrested after the death of a Bangladeshi woman who was publicly caned for allegedly having an affair with her stepson, police say.

A group of village elders and clerics sentenced Sufia Begum under Sharia law to 40 lashes for adultery.

The 40-year-old died of her injuries almost a month after the beating
in Rajshahi district, her family says.

[...]
Two people, including a woman who allegedly took part in the beating, have been arrested. Police say they are looking for four others.

Her body was swollen and I couldn't even recognise her” Taimur Rahman Sufia Begum's brother

"According to the information we've received, village elders tied 10 canes together and beat her four times," Masud Parvez, an investigating police officer, told the BBC.

{...}
"Her body was swollen and I couldn't even recognise her," said Ms Begum's brother, Taimur Rahman.

Police say it has not yet been established clearly that she died from injuries caused by the caning.

Women's rights campaigners in the country are demanding action, and have gone to Ms Begum's home village in an effort to find out what happened.

Activists say dozens of fatwas are issued under Sharia law each year by village clergy.

Nearly 90% of Bangladesh's estimated 160 million population are Muslims, most of whom practice a moderate version of Islam
.'"


So much for moderation.
