Tsk tsk…
I thought only your knowledge about current affairs is defective, but it seems, your knowledge about quran is equally poor. And you, ‘sadia mujahid’, I hope you have something original to contribute, other than saying ‘good point sister’…

Kher… I hate to do this again and again, but next time try to read Quran before making such a statement. I don’t have time to quote again and again, matters which are commonly known to all muslims.
Allah Ta’lla has allowed killing another person, and this is in Quran:
2:178 ** O you who believe! Al-Qisâs (the Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother (or the relatives, etc.) of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money, to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood money), he shall have a painful torment.**
And also
17:33 And do not kill anyone which Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed (intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have given his heir the authority (to demand Qisâs, Law of Equality in punishment or to forgive, or to take Diya (blood money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e he should not kill except the killer only). Verily, he is helped (by the Islâmic law).
Should I further translate it for you. If you kill someone, and that person’s family does not forgive you than you will be executed. Like it or not, that is Islamic law. Got it?
And nowhere does Islam allows disrespect for a dead person (even for murderers). They are allowed burials, but in some cases, the burial grounds for such people is away from general burial grounds for other muslims (e.g. in Medina the murderers etc are not allowed burial in Jannat-al-Baqi). If anyone disrespects a dead body by denying burial etc, that is wrong, is not done and your source of info is out-dated and incorrect.
Now stay out of discussion where you have no knowldege, or poor knowledge which has just been exposed!
