in response to reader comment: BARBARIC REMARKS, stoning of women

I absolutely agree with you that these punishments are very severe and scary. And it is exactly what it is meant to be. How do you punish someone like Joseph Fritzel who raped his own daughter? How do you punish the person who raped a baby (news related to Baby P)... these are only few examples. How do you punish a man who elopes with another woman inspite of having a devoted wife or vice versa.

All the remarks against Atiq Malik only reflect racial hatred because if the same topic was being discussed without any reference to Sharia, Islam or by an Asian councillor then it would have different views. Sharia cannot be imposed in Britain or in any other country... merely because it requires 100% justice and fairness. I am sorry but I do not think we are being fair to anyone. Last month I visited Anne Franks house in Amsterdam and I was inpired from her diary ..who wished for freedom to play, freedom to dream, freedom to practice religion. All we are interested in is hate each other without looking inside ourselves. Here we exchange hatred for each other only to hate each other more.
