Mali: Ruling Islamists Publicly Lash Teen Girl for Speaking to Men on the Street in Timbuktu

Photo credit: AFP/Getty Images.

Radical Islamists in Timbuktu convicted a teenaged girl of speaking to men on the street. She was punished with 60 lashes in public.

The girl, who is just 15-years-old, was allegedly caught “standing alongside men by the Islamists of Ansar Dine who now run Timbuktu,” the Associated Press reports.

“The Islamists charged that the girl was warned five times by Islamist police but she continued to speak to men in the street. After the hearing, the Islamists gave 60 lashes to the girl. The population did not turn out in large numbers to attend this flogging,” said Ousmane Maiga, a Timbuktu resident contacted by phone from Bamako.

The public lashing occurred at roughly 11 a.m. local time in front of the new headquarters of the Islamic police in downtown Timbuktu, ironically next to “Independence Square.”

Where is the outrage and condemnation? Why is the whole World not outraged at the savage heathen way Muslim males treat their females?

Islamic men treat their goats better than they treat their women.
They want to keep their women ignorant and enslaved to them.

  When is Obama going to call this girl and let her know he feels her pain like he did Sandra Fluke? Where is Code Pink? Where is Chris Mattews on this – it clearly falls under the War On Women? Where’s Hillary? She my as well be the one holding the whip. Ahhhh the smell of the Arab Spring….reminds me of the rank odor of Goats at the 4-H Fair.

  Hey Ben Franklin, They are all scared Crapless. They know how easily they can be targeted if they step out of line. They have already fallen into line behind the muslim brotherhood. Don’t htink for a minute that anything Hillary says will cause the muslims to think twice about what they do, how they do it, and who they do it to. When we go there and our women wear head scarfs we show them we fear them, siple as that.

  On a brighter note, I understand the White House has invited the group responsible for a meeting in the Oval Office. They are going to try to understand why they are so angry with women, and find out if there is some foreign aide that they need.
  
  It is so nice to have such an understanding cosmopolitan president. I can just feel his enlightenment.

  Lashings in Timbuktu are now news in America? I think not. It is really nothing more than anti-Muslim, for Israel, propaganda.

  Another example of the “Religion of Peace”. As for their goats, they probably “love” their goats. I remember during the Iran Hostage crisis back in 1979, the leading nut-job of Iran put out a list of animals that muslim men were allow to have sex with. They are all two bulbs short of a traffic light.

  Love all of the unintelligent responses. It’s a common practice by those who know that the truth doesn’t fit with their ideological beliefs. Ask yourself, “When was the last time Mali, or Timbuktu, made the news in America?” When you realize that you can not answer that question, you’ve given the real answer.
  
  It’s all propaganda, anti-Muslim propaganda for Israel. Why not a story like this one:

  God bless 14 year old Malala Yousafzai for her good works.
  She was shot and seriously wounded by the Taliban, just because she was fighting for the rights of Muslim females to be able to get a formal education.
  God will heal her wounds. God will help this young girl to free all Muslim women from oppression, abuse, and slavery.

  Jerk: When Christians can worship as freely in Muslims countries as Muslims worship in mine, then I will be willing to take the time listen to what you have to say. Until then, go work with Muslims to step up into real civilization.
  
  Your argument sounds like a thief who is complaining about how difficult it was to find the valuables.

  The saddest part about all this is the fact that muslims who reside in America do the exact same thing on a daily basis to their women and girls. Instead of exposing the violence espoused by muslims in far off lands, more light should be shed on the muslims who believe they have the right to engage in these expressions of Islamic culture on American soil!
  
  Muslims in America are working to enact sharia so that they may abuse women and girls openly…like they do in other muslim controlled lands. Because that is what their Allah deity demands of them,
  
  Outlaw Islam, close the mosques, deport the muslims.

This is more backlash from the “Religion of Peace” for that woman who had the gall to shove an Imam a few weeks ago. They are proud to send a very loud and clear message that Muslim women are to be subordinate to men no matter the circmstances, and no woman may question their place at the foot of their masters.

Behold, democrat fools, for this is the way of the Palestinians you so naively think are your friends.

I would most likely die from this. I wouldn’t be able to keep my mouth shut? I would, no doubt, be flogged to death; they wouldn’t let me go after 60, I have too much to say. This is how animals are treated. Where are the human rights activists??

This is so sad :(

  @DRVEL Isn’t that some crap? our animal rights are more strict than human rights, namely women but don’t forget the gay people. They need to be aware of this whole Sharia Law and all of its evil. How can they say the USA isn’t the MOST tolerant Country in the World?

Face up to this over taking, the Constitution bending the law as they see fit. These people are put in office by US, by voting for those who put them in office. Most of the U.S.A you are first investigated by the Bar Assoc, next the party bosses pick the person to run for the Office, but we are the one’s who vote for the sob. Get use to it folks we are seen as the weak sister of the World and can be had for very cheap money.

They are also making lists of unwed mothers in Mali. Stoning, executions, lashing………anything Sharia allows evil men to do in the name of Allah and women live in desperate fear.
