KABUL (Reuters) – An Afghan cleric and a police official on Friday defended the lynching of a woman in central Kabul after a mob was filmed stamping on the woman and smashing a brick on her head after she was accused of burning a Koran, Islam’s holy book.

The woman’s body was set on fire and thrown onto the banks of Kabul’s main river on Thursday.

It was unclear whether she had actually burned a Koran, but during Friday prayers at a mosque in a smart area of Kabul, a cleric’s sermon broadcast by loudspeaker told devotees that the crowd had a right to defend their Muslim beliefs at all costs.

“I am warning the government not to arrest those who did this, because it will mean an uprising,” said the cleric at the Wazir Akbar Khan mosque.

Another Afghan man boasted on Facebook of participating in the lynching, saying that “pious people of Kabul, including myself, killed her and then burnt her. Her place is in hell.”

A spokesman in the Kabul police chief’s office also appeared to justify the killing, saying the woman had deliberately insulted Islam.

“This (person) thought, like several other unbelievers, that this kind of action and insult will get them U.S. or European citizenship. But before reaching their target, lost their life,” Hashmat Stanekzai wrote on his Facebook page.

President Ashraf Ghani’s office said the killing would be investigated by both the Ministry of Interior and a committee of religious scholars.

“No individual is allowed to make oneself a judge and use violence to punish others,” Ghani’s statement said.

It added that the government “also condemns in strong terms any action that causes disrespect to the Holy Koran and Islamic values”.

  1. It’s sad that this woman was mentally retarded but Muslims do have a habit of picking on the weak and defenceless.
    Then again, I could be wrong. Maybe they didn’t know she was mentally retarded. It must be hard to tell when living in a Muslim community who is retarded and who isn’t. Aren’t all of them?

    1. “I am warning the government not to arrest those who did this, because it will mean an uprising,” said the cleric at the Wazir Akbar Khan mosque.”

      Typical muslim tactic: “Don’t expose to our evil ways – otherwise we will throw a tantrum/kill you etc.’

      1. exactly MWKI, and Islam is a religion of peace, if you say otherwise we’ll kill you.

    2. Hi Softly Bob, I’m just getting second hand information but from a very reputable source, that their own reports are stating this, indicating she was known to by mentally retarded. But one can never know for sure, its horid regardless of her state of mind.
