Taliban amputate thief’s hands

What do the Taliban and Somali Islamists have in common? Why, they each believe, rightly, that they are following the demands of the Qur'an when they amputate arms and legs from thieves. There is little latitude in the Qur'an when it comes to punishments, since it is the perfect word of God that all muslims must obey it's every edict. So thieves will have at least one limb amputated.

In this case, BOTH the alleged thief's hands were cut off by the Taliban. It's almost as if the various Muslim sects compete to find the most horrible tortures to inflict on those poor unfortunates who run afoul of Islamic Sharia "justice".

And then the Muslim street has the gall to accuse Western nations of torturing captured Islamic terrorists.
