Isn’t it always.

Ghana is only around ten percent Muslim so Member of Parliament’s Nelson Abudu Daboya’s enthusiasm for stoning women to death did not go over well.

The Member of Parliament for Daboya Makarigu Nelson Abudu Baani has said he would not mind if his wife is stoned to death or hanged for adultery.

The MP, who recently suggested that a law be passed to prescribe stoning to death or hanging as punishment for adulterous wives, told STARR NEWS Friday that if his wife cheats on him, “why not; is it fair?”

Abudu Baani first made the suggestion for the implementation of the sharia-like law during discussions on the Intestate Succession bill in Parliament Thursday.

He was quoted to have said, “day in day out in Afghanistan, if you go behind your husband they hang you. So if they add that, we will get very genuine women in families.”

Women in Ghana Islamophobically responded by calling Baani a “Taliban” and accusing him of an “Act of Terror”. So he apologized claiming that he was taken out of context.

The Daboya/Makarigu Member of Parliament who is advocating the stoning to death and hanging of adulterous Ghanaian women has swallowed back his words after days of intense public backlash.

Nelson Abudu Baani suggested that a law be passed to prescribe stoning to death or hanging as punishment for unfaithful wives, but his ‘crusade’ has not gone down well with women’s rights groups, civil society, and some of his colleague lawmakers.

Although Baani has defended his stance on various media platforms, he backtracked on Monday in an interview with private network Joy FM.

He said his unconditional apology is to allow the matter to die although he still believes he was “quoted out of context by citing those Saudi Arabia examples.”

“I was just trying to make some examples like in Saudi Arabia. If what I said, people don’t understand it, I am sorry and I’m not cruel,” Baani stated.

So Baani’s wife can be a sigh of relief. He is not currently in favor of stoning her to death.

    Ben Affleck would say that any critic of Nelson Abudu Baani and his enthusiastic support of Sharia is gross, racist, and Islamophobic.

    Obviously what he was trying to say was that adulterous women should be stoned to death in Muslim-majority countries, but not in countries where Muslims are not yet in the majority. To say otherwise would contradict the Koran in which case he would have to be stoned to death.

  • Gee

    In what context is murder acceptable?

    Landing several rovers on Mars wasn’t NASA’s intention. Their announcements of successful landings were really taken out of context. ISIS’s beheadings are taken out of context; they’re just unsuccessful neck surgeries. ISIS’s mass rapes of the Yazidi women are taken out of context; they’re just “meet and greet” sessions that sort of got out of hand..

    “So Baani’s wife can be a sigh of relief. He is not currently in favor of stoning her to death.”

    Yes, but I encourage her to be vigilant nonetheless because he made no mention of her head.

    Yeah, he was taken out of context. What he really meant to say was that they should receive genital mutilation and have acid thrown in their faces. You know…more civilized forms of punishment.
