Fourth point: These punishments of flogging, if anyone bothered to read the Quran, which seems to be such an out of fashion practice these days apparently, is for women who engaged in premarital sex. That requires 4 witnesses. Where is the evidence for this? If its sex during marriage (adultery), punishment is death. Which can be done behind closed doors - it doesn't need to be done publicly and not with human flesh hanging off a pole like you see in a butcher's shop (reference: khooni chowk of Swat). Anything outside of that gets no physical punishment, as there is none perscribed in the Quran. You talk to a boy, you do NOT get beaten in public for it. You even so much as bat your eyelashes at a boy, or smile at him and give him your "mobile number and style number", you do not get beaten in public. WHY cannot the muslim world come to terms with the Quran?
Then how were the witness produced in the olden days and flogging was actually done in prophet's time? U say its and out of fashion practice? do we have the right to pick and choose practices from the Quran according to our needs and fashion? one day someone will say oh, Namaz is so out of fashion, we dont have time for that(God for Bid)
