Gazan "sinner" singer given 39 lashes by Hamas-authorized Sharia court

Arab Post reports:

A Gaza singer who performed in front of a “mixed audience” of men and women was lashed 39 times to make him “repent,” after a ruling by a self-described Sharia court on Wednesday.

Islamic Judge Aman Farruk, founder of the Ahmad organization aimed at bringing Muslims “back to religion”, has made it his recent mission to fight against musical performances for both men and women.

His “judicial panel,” with Imam Mustafa and another member, sentenced Ali Afar to 39 lashes in order to “rid him of his sins.”

In a video clip of the court posted on the Ufar Web site, Amann Farruk said that those who make others sin (khati'a), such as artists who make men and women attend performances or dance together, have no place in the world to come.

He displayed a leather strip he said was made by his father from ass and bull skin, with which Ali Afar was to have been whipped.

Afar, who said, “I accept upon myself the lashing for my sins,” was ordered to stand by a wooden poll with his head facing north (“from whence the evil inclination comes”), his hands tied with a azure-colored rope (“a symbol of mercy”), and served his “sentence.”

So sad to see how Hamas is turning Gaza into a theocracy. First the crackdown on barber shops, then lingerie shops along with women riding motorbikes, now this.

Can't wait for the first person to figure it out.

And what is the likelihood that this man voted for Hamas in the election? Don't forget that this is the duly elected government.

Nope, definitely didn't vote for Hamas. There's a trick in this.
