Re: Serious Question for Muslims
Nima, would you please share with us a rough figure of how many public floggings of women were done in the time of the Prophet where the floggers were unable to come public with solid proof that a trial was held, all opinions and witnesses were heard, and a judgement was made in accordance with directions of punishment for zina as defined in the Quran? Where anyone and everyone who tried to explain the flogging had a different story of it? Furthermore, how many floggings, in general were done where there were actually 4 eye witnesses of the zina event, and where the flogging was done in public?
This should take care of the answer to your question.
As for requests on my knowledge of Islam, I would like to recommend the reader to open the Quran from page 1 and just keep reading. The details for punishments of extra-marital affairs and pre-marital affairs are clearly outlined there, and if you would like to contest that, please request an audience with God.
