Sakineh, but stoned

Antonio Socci

Is there a right to ignorance, but for the poor people who could not study, not for the Nobel Prize, nor for "masters of thought" that pontificating from the headlines by taking topical embarrassing.

You can not make war injury using bias (more stupid), you can not fight obscurantism showing the most crass ignorance.

Nor for a noble cause as the final salvation of the poor Sakineh, the Iranian girl from the look sweet and sad, which was suspended yesterday by stoning.

what I mean? The first page of the Republic yesterday. That, under the title "The appeal of Nobel 'Save Sakineh'" reported, in large type, this text quotes: "Let us stop the horror on the body of the woman. Medieval Stoning is a punishment that does not exist in the Koran. "

Absurdity

I rubbed my eyes and I read: "The stoning is medieval." Under this colossal nonsense, reproduced in brackets and in large type, the Republic reported the names of Nobel Prize winners Shirin Ebadi, Luc Montagnier, Rita Levi Montalcini, Harald zur Hausen, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and Gerhard Ertl.

But it is clear that the sentence of the lawyer is Iranian Nobel Peace Prize, Shirin Ebadi who literally said: "Stoning is a form of medieval punishment that does not exist on the Koran."

La cosa che mi ha fatto sobbalzare è quell’altra, perché è platealmente falsa: “la lapidazione è medievale”. Non so se la Ebadi intendeva parlare del “Medioevo islamico”, ne dubito perché altrimenti avrebbe dovuto dirlo.

In ogni caso, siccome la Repubblica non esce in Iran, ma in Italia, siccome ha scritto Medioevo tout-court (senza l’aggettivo islamico), siccome questa è la definizione dell’epoca On Christian Enlightenment and as is typical of post-Enlightenment European culture attributed to the Christian Middle Ages any turpitude, it is natural to understand the "proclamation" that yesterday was on the front page of the Republic as an anathema against the Middle Ages, by definition, our Middle Ages.

So here it is to be startled. When ever in the Middle Ages the alleged adulterous women are stoned? For the sake I wanted to consult a professional medievalist 24 carat as Franco Cardini, of course, denied that medieval Christians believed women stoned adulterers.

fact. The famous passage from the Gospel where Jesus saves the adulteress from stoning, as provided by law Jews of that time, marked a historic turning point. The mercy and forgiveness of God break into the world and recreate. Continue
