Re: Taleban 'kill love affair couple'
More evidence that the Taliban are no more Muslim than serial killers.
The punishment for a couple "eloping" is not death. Furthermore, eloping does not necessarily mean having sexual intercourse out of wedlock. And even furthermore, why aren't the parents of the couple punished for having stopped a wedding in the first place? Just because Islam says you should get the blessings of your parents, does not mean that parents have the right to block marriages for silly reasons as its often done in Pakistan. And since when is shooting people publicly in the back of the head an Islamic thing to do, anyway? They can't find any other more humane method of execution?
More evidence that village pagalpan is being propagated and sold to Pakistanis as "Islam" - sad state of affairs that so many people still want to call these guys "muslim" instead of identifying them as misleaders and murderers which is what they truly are.
Am pretty sure there is no punishment whatsoever for 2 people going off to get married, wouldn't that be a good thing as they're trying to make their 'relationship' (I use the word loosely cos no-one knows if they had had any physical or just an emotional affair, in any case there must be 4 witnesses to prove zina) halal. Also, Hanafis don't require the girl to get guardian's permission to marry so can't see what the problem was, well except backward tribal culture masquerading as Islam..
