So the thief doesn't learn his lesson then. Thieves need to be punished, but not butchered, as your religion suggests. Actually, it's just a mass of hypocritical bullshit. One minute the thief needs to lose his hand, the next he doesn't get punished? Was the creator drunk or something, because no sober sane person could be such a hypocrite over a matter so trivial. And they wouldn't take it to the extremes either. Losing a hand, or getting off.
not fair at all. It is the task of all muslims to ensure everybody knows about Islam. Many religions and cultures thrived under islam and side by side with islam Islam orders the protection of non muslims under its rulership, so a jew/christian has to be protected the same as a muslim. Yet the muslim has to take up a call to arms the Jew/christian doesnt
as i mentioned above, there are conditions. Its not as simple as cut the hands of the shoplifter In during Islamic rule there was something like 6 hands chopped off over a few hundred years
I think he was referring to the fundamentalist, extremist part of Islam. It may be a perverted version of their faith and it may be a minority but it is still related to Islam and it is still a sizable faction. That's how I interpreted his comment anyway.
Well then that is disobeying the religion, which means the people who should have performed the amputation, yet didn't, need to be stoned (medieval style, not rasta style)
I would just hog tie you and wait for the police. Taking away your freedom is a worse punishment than mutilation
Not like that at all in fact Inviting people to islam in public etc. For example I do stalls. People come talk to me. I have never knocked on any ones house etc some people like to get on the offensive, but only a small minority. The majority take leaflets etc and go on their way. some come back 1 0r 2 become muslim occassionally
