I'd have to agree that it'd be easy to take 1400 year old scripts out of context. <br /><br />I prefer to believe that god is all forgiving, instead of the merciless "you go straight to hell if you do this or don't do that" god that a lot of teachers of Islam tend to go for. <br /><br />Also, this unfair punishment of women extends beyond fornicators and adulterers. Ever wonder why everytime you hear news about foreign prostitutes they're always women who "wrongfully used their student visas to join the flesh trade" and never "unwillingly forced or coerced into it"? Instead of giving help to these women, they're chastised and punished and sent back (quite possibly back into the hands of those who put them there in the first place).<br /><br />Everything seems to be politicized in this country. Nothing is sacred anymore.Fadhil Luqmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697552263661533109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792196524279031654.post-59218923390781932512010-02-23T14:01:53.522+08:002010-02-23T14:01:53.522+08:00Well articulated with injections of humor.

With thinkers like you, Islam may still have hope. I like that.hazriqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792196524279031654.post-61770788725689909492010-02-23T13:50:59.116+08:002010-02-23T13:50:59.116+08:00thanks for sharing your faith and thoughts on this...thanks for sharing your faith and thoughts on this issue. it's one of the most well constructed piece i've read as yet, and is doing much to return my faith in being a little more than a lazy m'sian lamb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
