"A woman was forced to give birth on the sidewalk because the Islamists

Ada cewek yg hrs melahirkan di pinggir jalan krn pejihad di jalan auloh 
ngelarang si cewek masuk rumah sakit tanpa pake jilbab. 


Di Saudi pernah ada kasus polisi agama ngelarang cewek anak sekolah keluar dr 
bangunan sekolahnya yg terbakar kalo ga pake pakean Islami, hasilnya 15 cewek 
mati kebakar.

Islam itu emang laknatan lil alamin, bukan?

Out with colour: Islamists force Timbuktu women to wear black veils
        * Mali

To avoid being whipped, mutilated, and jailed, women in Timbuktu 
now have to wear black veils and loose-fitting clothing. Radical 
Islamists, who took control of the city months ago, are laying down 
their law – Sharia law – and for the first time since they’ve arrived, 
they’re specifically targeting women.
 
Over the past few weeks, Islamists from two armed groups – Ansar 
Dine and Mujao, who took over northern Mali in April – have increasingly made 
use of corporal punishment against the local population. This includes 
whipping, amputations, and even stoning people to death who do not obey Sharia 
law.
 
In Timbuktu, the first amputation-as-punishment took place on September 16. 
Islamists cut the hand of a man suspected 
of having committed theft. Two months earlier, a man and women accused 
of having had an extra-marital affair were whipped in public.

Four days ago, in the markets and at the hospital, Islamists began 
to ask women to cover their heads entirely [Editor’s Note: many women 
wore light veils that showed some of their hair]. In a message broadcast on the 
radio on Thursday, they also announced that women were no longer allowed 
outside after 11 p.m. Since then, the Islamist fighters that 
patrol the streets have been monitoring the women, and they hit women 
who don’t obey this new rule with their sticks.
 
Until now, many women in Timbuktu wore light veils that covered 
part of their hair. But the cloth, often white, was quite transparent. 
The Islamists have decided women should wear a much larger veil that 
covers their ears, and that it has to be black. They also banned tight 
clothes that many of the young women wear. Now, they’re all wearing 
large flowing dresses or “toungous”, which is a 12 metre long piece of 
cloth that is traditionally worn in the Sahel desert, on top of regular 
clothes.
 
"The Islamists announced that any woman who disobeys their rules will have her 
ears cut off"
 
The Islamists announced that any woman who disobeys their rules 
will have her ears cut off and be sent to a new, all-female prison. 
Though they haven’t gone that far yet, they are still quite strict: on 
Thursday afternoon, as I was visiting a friend at the hospital, I saw a 
very pregnant woman arrive. She was wearing a white veil, so the 
Islamists asked her to go home and change. She explained that she was 
going into labour, and that she lived two kilometres away, so she 
couldn’t go back. She ended up giving birth outside, on the sidewalk 
[Editor’s note: another one of our Observers in Timbuktu also witnessed 
this. According to him, the woman and her baby were in good health after the 
birth.]
 
Since they had arrived in Timbuktu, the Islamists were rather 
lenient with women. They mostly targeted men, by for example forcing 
them to go to the mosque every Friday at noon. However, despite their 
violent ways, the Islamists haven’t been able to get everyone to obey 
them. By targeting women, they’re trying to hit the men where it hurts 
the most.
