This scene was something else! 🎥 The Handmaid’s Tale.

So, islam.

Lol this is hilarious The show runners altered this scene from the book. In the book, it is a male abortion doctor they kill. Looks like they changed it to Offred's friend so the viewer feels bad for someone who would kill a baby. The show is pure propaganda

Why the hell wasn't this set in the middle east where this is actually happening? This show comes across as some weird female fantasies.

Stoning, known as "Rajm" in Arabic, is a form of capital punishment that has been historically associated with certain interpretations of Islamic law (Sharia), particularly for the offense of zina (illicit sexual intercourse) when committed by a married person. It involves an organized group throwing stones at the convicted individual until death. Here's a breakdown of how it's understood and, in some contexts, carried out: * Basis in Islamic Law: * Quran: The Quran itself does not explicitly mention stoning as a punishment for zina. Instead, it prescribes 100 lashes for those found guilty of adultery or fornication (Surah An-Nur, 24:2). * Hadith: The practice of stoning is primarily derived from various hadiths (sayings and actions attributed to the Prophet Muhammad). Most schools of Islamic jurisprudence accept these hadiths as a source of law, second only to the Quran, and thus consider stoning a valid punishment for zina committed by a married person. * Classical Jurisprudence: Classical Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) established strict evidentiary requirements for proving zina to be punishable by stoning. * Evidentiary Requirements: * Four Witnesses: To prove zina for the purpose of stoning, it typically requires the testimony of four adult, sane, male Muslim witnesses who directly observed the act of sexual penetration. This extremely high standard makes it practically impossible to prove the offense, and historically, Muslim jurists often used these strict requirements to avoid applying the stoning penalty. * Confession: Alternatively, a confession from the accused person could be grounds for conviction. However, even confessions were often subject to conditions, and judges might encourage retraction. * Procedure (where implemented): * Burying the Accused: In some interpretations, the convicted individual might be buried up to their waist (for men) or chest (for women) before the stoning begins. * Size of Stones: The stones used are generally not supposed to be so large as to kill instantly but large enough to cause significant injury, leading to a prolonged death. * Public Execution: Stoning is often carried out in public, allowing the community to participate. * Controversy and Practice: * Conflict with Quran: Many modern Islamic thinkers and human rights organizations argue that stoning contradicts the Quranic prescription of 100 lashes for zina. * Historical Rarity: Historical records suggest that legal stoning sentences were extremely rare in pre-modern Islamic history. Muslim jurists developed techniques to make its application virtually impossible. * Modern Context: In recent decades, some states have incorporated stoning into their penal codes, often influenced by Islamist movements. However, even in these countries, it has often played a largely symbolic role and tends to fall into disuse. Nevertheless, extrajudicial stonings do occur in some tribal areas. * International Law: Stoning violates international human rights laws. In summary, while stoning is a prescribed punishment in some interpretations of Sharia law, particularly for married individuals convicted of zina, its application is historically rare due to extremely stringent evidentiary requirements. Its legitimacy and practice remain a subject of significant debate and concern in the modern world.

Under Islamic sharia law stoning is the prescribed punishment for adultery based on the Quran and the hadith as primary sources and it actually happens

Another liberal wet dream.

They were so quick to call this America when I saw this first hand in Afghanistan. If yall women don’t think you have rights here, I’d hate to see you somewhere else.

Killing or rping a child should be death. This isn’t controversial.

This show is the most overrated piece of crap on television today.
