If European countries are allowed to ban a tiny piece of cloth that doesn’t harm anyone whatsoever, if they’re allowed to fine those who wrap this thing around their head, I am 100% behind Islamic countries jailing/fining those who cross the limits of Islamic law. Do I want them killed, that too brutally in public? Definitely not. Quit making it sound like Islam is all about death penalties. Capital punishment has prevailed in every single society throughout the history. Over 200 crimes were punishable by death in Britian only 2 centuries ago! I can’t even list 200 crimes! What I can do is name 2 crimes that are on the “gunah-e-kabira” list in Islam: Murder and Homosexuality (and many others ofcourse). Don’t tell me to treat one differently than the others because you don’t get to decide that. The US still executes murderers and that is ok with most of us (even though the psychos “can’t help it” either! Who knows, they were probably born that way!?!) but it decided to take homosexuality off the list. Countries that practice shariah law aren’t taking anything off the list for anyone, their rules are still the same as they were 14 centuries ago and that is where the problem starts. In my opinion, these methods of punishment are outdated, they were revealed at a time this form of punishment was very very common everywhere. Do you see the Quran mentioning forensics anywhere? The rulings on homosexuality are perfectly fine though. I can expect the US to ban capital punishment for murder but I don’t expect anyone to not punish murderers at all in the name of leaving everything up to God. In the same way, I don’t support the execution of those who go against the shariah law but I don’t expect Islamic countries to support homosexuality either.

Excellent and inspirational post. Very informative and helpfull.
