Welcome to the New Islamic democracy in Syria.... Sharia Style Baby!

Video: Sharia Law in Action in Syria 

If Bashar al-Assad is toppled, his replacement is likely to be an Radical Islamic regime that implements Sharia law. 
The Syrian opposition publicly flogged two men in a town in northern Syria this week, according to reports.

Their crime?

In Islamic law, a woman is divorced before she can be remarried (so that there is no doubt as to the parentage of any children she has.

A father in Syria married his daughter to a young man before the three months were complete.

So the Islamists who control the town gave both the father and the groom a public flogging, apparently with electrical wire, after reading their verdict.

Here videotape. More after the video.

The embedded video, from Saraqeb in the Idlib province of northwestern Syria, shows the carrying out of sentences handed down by a rebel sharia field court.

Hundreds of local residents gathered to hear the sentence being pronounced by a rebel. Two residents were found guilty of offences against sharia law and sentenced to 40-50 lashes each.

The elder man was convicted of having his daughter, who had divorced her first husband, married to a second man during the "cooling off" period of three months required by sharia law. He did this ten days before the 3-month period had ended and was sentenced to 50 lashes.
