Just because there isnt Islamic State that is required to apply Islamic Law, doesnt really prevent people from trying to apply Islamic Law.
Why would anyone kill their parents simply because they want to convert to Christianity? What makes 17 year-old-girl whose father was "very angry" for her trying to leave Islam to act this way towards her parents?
Since its okay to assume that it was because of the boy who wanted her to turn to Christianity why this tragedy happened, I dont see why what Barney posted was deleted. What if she killed her mother and tried to kill her father because of how they wanted to apply Islamic Law and she felt really threathened? Why cannot we explore that possiblity aswell?
Well thats a problem on their part, since no-one except the holders of the law apply it. Yes, anyone can argue that a person can take the law into their own hands, but that doesn't mean it's right. No matter what form of government we're talking about.
Someone can see a thief, yet there still not allowed to shoot him, yet the cops are allowed to. Why? Because the holders of the law can only apply the law in them situations, and if someone else pretends to be a cop - well they can't since they don't hold that position of authority.
Infact, if we were to look at barneys post - we would see that he said something totally amazing, infact he said it as if he knew what he was talking about. Almost as if he was a scholar or person who has total knowledge on the religion. Guess what he said?
barney said:
If she had converted she would have had 3 days to change her mind before her parents had a duty to kill her.
There's so much mistakes in that statement;
1) He's claiming the parents have to kill her. - No they don't.
2) She's got 3 days to become muslim again. Why? If they're living in australia?
3) It's their duty? No it's not, it isn't the family members duty at all. Rather it's the Islamic Judges duty to help her to clear her misunderstandings, clear the misconceptions she may have etc.
So if he was so knowledgable and so wise, why is he making such a statement? Infact, why is he acting like he's some form of authority to even bring forth 'evidences' if he doesn't even understand their contexts or even the basics!?
Do you think it's right to let someone continue making others believe that what he's saying is true? Would you let me be a spokesperson for a government when i don't even belong to that country, yet alone be a leader of it?
I think you understand what i mean now. And Allaah knows best.
