It's funny how you started this post by condemning people for spreading false and fabricated stories, but then went ahead to make several claims that you have not provided any evidence to support.
First, let's establish something. According to the official statement released by the Saudi Press Agency, two Bangladeshi nationals were executed for committing an indecent act in one of the mosques in Mecca.
Now, pay attention to this. The statement did not specifically mention Masjid al-Haram. It said one of the mosques in Mecca. So where exactly did you get the information that this happened between gates 85 and 87 of Masjid al-Haram? Can you provide an official source confirming this?
Secondly, you confidently claimed that these individuals committed adultery and even went as far as describing what happened between them. Again, where is your evidence?
The Arabic expression used in the official statement was fi'l al-fahishah, which refers to an indecent or immoral act. The statement did not explicitly say that sexual intercourse took place, neither did it use the specific legal term zina.
So how did you arrive at the conclusion that they had sexual intercourse? Do you have access to the investigation or court documents that the rest of us don't have?
Thirdly, you also claimed that an Indian man recorded the incident because he wanted to sleep with the woman and was rejected, and that he was subsequently sentenced to 20 years in prison.
These are very specific allegations. Surely, you should have no problem providing credible sources to support them. Where is the official report confirming the identity of this Indian man, his involvement, and the alleged 20-year sentence?
Now, let's address what I consider the most troubling part of your post.
You claimed that the death sentence was justified under the Quran and Sunnah because the individuals violated the sanctity of Masjid al-Haram.
But interestingly, the Saudi authorities themselves described the punishment as ta'zir, which is a discretionary punishment, not the prescribed hadd punishment for zina.
Do you now see your ignorance?
Under classical Islamic jurisprudence, the prescribed punishment for zina involving unmarried individuals is 100 lashes, as stated in Quran 24:2. The traditional ruling of stoning concerns certain cases involving previously married offenders, based on hadith and classical jurisprudence.
Now, you are telling us that these two individuals were unmarried, yet you are defending their execution as a punishment in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah.
So I have a very simple question for you.
Can you show me where the Quran or an authentic hadith specifically prescribes the death penalty for two unmarried individuals who commit an indecent act inside a mosque?
The fact that a government has the legal authority under its judicial system to impose a punishment does not automatically mean that the punishment is morally justified or explicitly commanded by God.
And since you are so concerned about facts, can you provide the court documents showing what evidence was presented, what charges were established, and how the judges arrived at the death sentence?
Finally, let me make something clear. Nobody here is defending indecent behaviour in a place of worship. If these individuals committed an offence, they should be held accountable.
But there is a difference between holding people accountable and executing them.
My argument is not that what they did was right. My argument is that executing two people for an alleged indecent act is a grossly disproportionate punishment.
And rather than addressing that moral question, you have spent your entire post providing details that are not established by the official statement, while accusing everyone who disagrees with you of spreading lies.
You cannot be accusing people of spreading misinformation when you have not even provided evidence for your own claims.
To clarify. It’s actually even worse.
The horror of what our families face is this: my son’s killer, Valdo Calocane, was given a Section 37/41 hospital order. This is medical care, not a penal sentence.
By January 2027—the 3-year mark—he can legally apply to a tribunal to come out if deemed well enough. Worse, until our recent fight to close the loophole, these criminal patients actively pocketed up to £800/month in state benefits from their hospital beds.
A hospital order is not prison. We face a life sentence ensuring this monster is never released. #JusticeForBarnaby #NottinghamAttacks 💚💛

This is absolutely INSANE! Meet Mohammed Yaseen. He was a member of an Al Qaeda group that beheaded Brit Ken Bigley.
He then joined ISIS where he worked as a guard at two mass killings and a deadly public stoning. He was arrested in Germany and served nearly 5 years in prison for being a member of Isis.
After he was released, Germany didn't deport him, so he broke into our country on a small boat because he heard we 'accept everyone'.
He was jailed for 2 years for illegal entry, then released early after 6 months. This is despite hearing in court that he 'posed a danger to the whole of the UK' and he had a 'deep and lengthy involvement in terrorism and Islamic extremist ideology'.
He's eligible for deportation, but the Foreign Office raised concerns that if we deport him to Iraq he could face 'mistreatment' for being a terrorist.
He has reapplied to stay in the UK, which halts any deportation proceedings and it will cost taxpayers' £85,000 a year to keep him here.
It get's worse... if and when he uses the ECHR to fight his case, we are potentially on the hook for another *£500,000* in legal aid.
He's been put in a bail hostel in Windsor and able to walk the streets.
WHAT TF ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES?!
This country is utterly broken.
@zarahsultana As far as I'm aware, Coventry South is not in India.
Please try and focus on the concerns of your constituents...after all, they do pay your wages
Natasha Narwal is charged with terrorism and conspiring to organise riots that killed 53 people.
The judge has allowed her to visit the UK to present a conference paper on ‘Gendered Carceral Labour as Social Reproduction’, on the promise that she will return and not seek asylum.
But will allow poop filled AI photos depicting Indians eating sh1t, dehumanized as ugly insects, and our gods depicted in the most despicable ways, calling for 'crushing' Indians - all over the platform.
That doesn't affect 'aesthetics'? How about morals, ethics, at least ToS?
I mean, we literally can just test Indians, Asians, Nigerians, Jews and Arabs, etc using the same metric we do for "regular" white and brown Yanks - and see how they do!
Pretty well, it turns out.
I can break out Indians even further from 1-2 of these, if you want.
My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.
For over a year now, anti-India racism on X has enjoyed freakish reach, engagement/payouts. Every Indian here has watched it happen. Racism against Indians literally incentivised, the X algorithm pours monetisation fuel on it.
Now a mass shooting plan by a white terrorist at a Hindu temple in Chicago has been foiled.
Hate spills from SM into real life, the people tweaking the algorithm will have blood on their hands.
I won't comment on Trump, but what you are sharing on India is fake news. India is doing a constitutionally required clean up of voter rolls since 2003. In 23 years, more than 110 million Indians have died, millions more left the country, or changed their locations. All these have been corrected and a draft made, not even finalized as Indians can still get their names included or rolls corrected if there's any discrepancy.
The new draft list can still be challenged in the courts. But it is being made into a fake news of "India deleted 130 million voters. And it is being spread around by some foreign influenced media in the world. Don't post on such unnecessary, complex issues in foreign countries without understanding, to make it look like you or democrats are working for China, Russia, Pakistan and other foreign interests.
HINDUMESIA IS REAL.
US: 19-YEAR-OLD ARRESTED OVER ALLEGED PLOT TO CARRY OUT MASS SHOOTING TARGETING INDIANS AT HINDU TEMPLE IN ILLINOIS
Alexandros Paporakis is 19 and works as a cashier at a fast-food restaurant. According to police in his northwest suburban hometown of Palatine, Paporakis had plotted to carry out a "mass shooting of Indian people" at a Hindu temple in Aurora, where they say he drove last Sunday decked out for war.
CHILLING REPORT.
#BREAKING: Potential Mass Shooting Plot Thwarted in Aurora, Illinois.
Authorities say a 19-year-old allegedly plotted a mass shooting targeting a Hindu place of worship. Police reportedly recovered a rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, body armor and a manifesto expressing white supremacist extremism and hostility toward people of Indian descent.
This comes during Navaratri when thousands of Hindus gather for Garba and also just two weeks after a Hindu temple in Ohio was attacked.
We commend law enforcement for swift action. We also urge the community to stay vigilant and Report any potential threat. Every community deserves to worship without fear.

Religiously-motivated hate crimes against Hindus in the UK are up 15%, according to new Home Office data but the Home Office commentary on the latest statistics only talks about Jews and Muslims.

You are being too clever by half, dear @elonmusk, and you know it.
Saying "11,256" villages sounds a lot. But it is a way of lying with numbers.
What if the handle had said, "1.7% of India's villages have no 4G coverage"?
That wouldn't fit the narrative, right?
And it only gets worse.
The post deliberately chooses "4G".
Why?
Do those villages not have access to 2G and 3G internet? Perhaps you know. The world's richest man who wants so desperately to enter the Indian market with satellite internet coverage should know, right?
You, who have talked about the 'Deep State' would know the perils that satellite can pose to national security. The terrorist attacks on Mumbai, better known as the "26/11 attacks", were facilitated, in part, by the use of satellite phones. The terrorists' handlers, sitting in Karachi, communicated with the terrorists using satellite phones and ordered them to kill as many people as they could, including Jews.
As for "oligarchs", well, you mean Mukesh Ambani (his mobile and internet company, Jio), yet hesitate to even taking his name. You, who didn't think twice before posting Trump's alleged links with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein!
I think that will go down well with most Indians, to see the world's richest man in fear of an Indian🙂
Which brings us to the elephant in the room - racism.
It would take a blind man on Pluto to not have seen the explosion of racist screeds and shitposting and ragebait content against Indians over the last year-and-a half on your platform, X.
Perhaps it got your platform more engagement. Perhaps this is what the MAGA gang wanted and you obliged to get back in Trump's good books.
Perhaps you didn't care about racism against Indians.
Perhaps you saw it as a bargaining chip in your negotiations with the Indian govt.
In either case, you don't have a lot of sympathy in India because of racism on your platform, Elon.
Please stop pretending that there isn't racism on X against Indians, or that you don't know about it.
Coming back to broadband coverage.
The areas that do not have adequate 4G and 5G coverage are Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, parts of Rajasthan that border Pakistan and which are sparsely populated, the Kutch region (also sparsely populated, what with the world's largest salt pans), Arunachal Pradesh, tracts that are either heavily forested or till recently had suffered from Naxal terrorism.
So, what exactly is your target market?
Offer satellite coverage in Arunachal Pradesh and China will cut off your businesses at the scrotum before you can say Tesla.
Or did you plan to make a killing selling satellite coverage at $50/month in Bihar and Jharkhand, where 4G and 5G plans cost $3/month?
Get honest. Get real.
