IEW: Stoning to death* —Ishtiaq Ahmed*****
The task in hand for modern Muslims is to separate the spiritual, moral and ethical message of Islam from penal laws reflecting the sensibilities of tribal society of the seventh century

The well-known English journalist Robert Fisk has presented a detailed investigative report, ‘The crimewave that shames the world’ in The Independent, September 7, 2010, about so-called honour killings. Not surprisingly, the highest incidence of such crimes is in the Muslim world, though even some non-Muslim Middle Eastern minorities and Hindus in India practise it. What I found particularly shocking was that after murdering a daughter or sister, a Muslim culprit can walk away scot-free because the Islamic law of qisas (retaliation) allows heirs to pardon the criminal. Thus, other family members can pardon the offender. All such relics of barbarism have to be done away with. Already in the 19th century, Maulvi Chiragh Ali wrote that the Quran is not a book of law. Justice Munir has also advanced similar arguments. Privately, most of the educated Muslims I talk to agree with me that hudood laws, blasphemy laws and many other such laws are anachronisms that have no place in the 21st century. More such voices need to be heard in the public space.

Please read the above article.

This article can be answered soon as you get to last paragraph.

It starts off discussing issue of honour killings which are barbabric no doubt, all the place where these killings take place the law of the lands is secular. Honour killing cannot be found in islamic laws or any texts nor is it permitted by islam.

So at end of article how can they attack the quran and islam in general when it is the non implementation of islam that allows such disgraceful things like honour killing to take place and criminal who do it get away?
what has quran got to do with honour killings? if it has nothing to do with it why is it included in the article?
