Afghanistan: Mother, daughter stoned to death in Ghazni

A group of armed men have stoned a woman and her daughter to death in Afghanistan's Ghazni province, security officials have told the BBC.

Officials blamed the Taliban for the attack and said they had accused the widow and her daughter of "moral deviation and adultery".

The incident happened on Thursday in the Khawaja Hakim area of Ghazni city, where the family lived.

The police said two men had been arrested in connection with the murder.

Security officials said armed men entered the house where the young widow lived with her daughter, took them out, and stoned them to death.

"Neighbours did not help or inform the authorities on time," an official said.

1. Odd isn't it that Allah didn't see fit to make stoning haram? Pigs have a better

life than women in these cultures.

4. "Officials said a number of religious leaders in the city had been issuing fatwas"

"Officials said a number of religious leaders in the city had been issuing fatwas (Islamic religious edicts) asking people to report any one who was "involved in adultery"."

Want to know who reported those women? Find out who's going to get their land/livestock/whatever now that they're dead.

5. 1692. Salem "Witch" trials.

What year is this? Three hundred years (plus) later and this is still happening.

7. Freedom is on the march!

I'm so glad that we bombed these people back to the Stone Age. Of course, they're already there.

8. The mother was "young" -- how young was her daughter?

Can a child be accused of moral deviation and adultery?

9. A child allowed to live might get their stuff

I agree with the poster above who said fi you want to know who the accuser was, a good place to look might be to find out who gets their stuff.
