According to the Shari'ah, the religious law based on the Qor'an and the Sunna (example) of the Prophet Muhammad, lashing and whipping are prescribed punishment (hudud, singular hadd) for crimes against individuals or society (Doi 1984, 223-25).

 Tripod Lashing
The tripod lashing is a shear lashing that binds three poles together at the same point.

On the other hand, if the rope is wrapped two loosely, the lashing will not tighten enough when the center pole is rotated and the lashing will be able to slip along the length of the pole.

 The Raw Story | Murtha on lawsuit: 'I don't blame [Marine] for lashing out'
Congressman Jack Murtha (D-PA) has responded to a defamation suit from a US Marine by saying he doesn't blame the man "for lashing out,"
Staff sergeant Frank D. Wuterich brought suit against Murtha earlier today, charging that the Congressman's public statements that Marines had "killed innocent civilians in cold blood" defamed the Marine.
The Associated Press this morning reported that evidence collected by the Pentagon “supports accusations that U.S. Marines deliberately shot” 24 civilians, including unarmed women and children, in Haditha, Iraq last November--the incident Murtha was referring to.
