A couple accused of engaging in extramarital affairs have been stoned to death by an Islamic militant group in control of northern Mali. The young pair were publicly executed in the remote town of Aguelhok, near the vast West African nation's northern border with Algeria, on Sunday, a spokesman for the Ansar Dine ('defenders of the faith') group said. 'These two people were married and had extra-conjugal relations. 'Our men on the ground in Aguelhok applied sharia [Islamic law],' Sanda Ould Bounama said on Monday. 'They both died right away and even asked for this application. 'We don't have to answer to anyone over the application of sharia,' he said.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
