Description
This video looks at whether chopping off hands and feet is an official punishment in Islam or whether it's the invention of terrorist groups like Islamic State (ISIS).
If they are from Islam, where are they commanded? What did Mohamed do? What position do the major schools of thought (Sunnis and Shias) hold on the details of when and how these punishments are to be carried out.
