Egyptian Cleric Mas'oud Anwar Demonstrates Lashing in Islam and Declares: True Compassion Means Putting the Killer to Death, Stoning the Adulterer, and Chopping Off the Hand of the Thief

Brother, let me tell you – worse things go on at police stations. A single blow to the head with the bamboo rod of the security forces sends your head spinning. It's like 100 lashes. What are you talking about? It's like 1,000 lashes.
Allah give us good health… The guy performs the lashing like this… Some teachers beat the children at school in a way that is worse than the lashes administered to a fornicator. The teacher says to the pupil: "Place your pen between your fingers." Then he smacks him with a ruler, like this.
There is a tradition in workshops that when an apprentice makes a mistake, they put him on the grill. By Allah, I saw somebody electrocuting a boy.
And you tell me that Islamic law is barbaric? What barbarism? It is full of compassion. Even though is a criminal, when they give him a lashing, they do it this way…
