Preface: In 2013, in the Maldives, a 15 year-old girl was raped,
subsequently convicted of fornication under Sharia law,
and sentenced to 100 lashes to be delivered on her 18th birthday.
There is little likelihood she will survive 100 lashes.

Home Recipe for Sharia Justice

Tom Curry

In a small atoll
mix a smaller framed girl,
no older than fifteen
with distillate of fear
choose one lean,
sun baked
season with isolation,
truss the legs, the arms,
pin back the head,
carefully stuff a filthy rag in her mouth
stab repeatedly,
allow the shame to marinate,
penetrate the bone
separate from family
pull out
let soak for three years
whip until murdered
