Serious Adultery

“Unofficial death sentence” for having an affair

We’re kind of used to stonings and executions for people caught having affairs in lands where more extreme forms of Islam hold sway. What is more disturbing is a case from Spain – where a woman from the Catalonia region has been rescued from the hands of 9 men who had unofficially ‘sentenced’ her to death.

The men allegedly held her in a remote farmhouse where she was awaiting her ‘sentence’ when she engineered a chance to escape. A police spokeswoman told reporters:

“According to the victim, she was taken against her will and sentenced to death by a group of men. The men may have formed a court to apply sharia law.”

7 of the 9 are now in jail waiting to face trial for illegal detention and attempted murder, whilst 2 have been released on police bail. It’s pretty disturbing that attitudes like that have made the leap from Islamist parts of the world to the heart of modern Europe.

Still – at least Tiger Woods is probably safe. For now.
