Re: Serious Question for Muslims
krash: I'm glad you started this thread because all these threads contain video which tends to "taint" people's feelings and thought process. It is a good question in my opinion. People are objecting left and right. Some people have trouble with actual punishment regardless of whether proper judicial trial was carried out or not.
Some Muslims have expressed desire to change these punishments using "Ijtihad" as these punishments are not "applicable" for some weird reason in "today's world". I guess they are too mesmerized by man-made laws.
My own view is, if proper judicial process was carried out and then these two were found guilty then the punishment is okay (I'll have to double check if this is the prescribed punishment in Quran/Sunnah/Hadith).
