I read their statements in the post as being very clear. Those that misuse and take their statements out of context are the ones that need to be addressed, right?<BR/><BR/>"alas, what needs to be changed in Muslim countries is not the penal code, but the corrupt regimes and the distorted sense of justice."<BR/><BR/>I respectfully disagree. Getting rid of the corrupt regimes will not address the problem with the corrupt masses. I talked about that here: <A HREF="http://brnaeem.blogspot.com/2007/06/bandit-and-lizard_19.html" REL="nofollow">Bandits and Lizards</A>Naeem:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15397380149160556040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268156244556916801.post-70606870354236640552007-08-27T23:39:00.000+03:002007-08-27T23:39:00.000+03:00Good points! though I strongly feel that people li...Good points! though I strongly feel that people like al-Qaradhawi or Mohamed al-ghazali have to be very clear about their statements because often they are taken out of context. To those people who can't see role of Shariah beyond hudud have a very premature understanding of society and the mission of Prophet (saw). It's far too easy to declare Qaradhawi a modernist ikhwani or even ikhwan itself as the changes in ikhwan are a topic of discussion on its own.. in order to dismiss their point of view. <BR/><BR/>alas, what needs to be changed in Muslim countries is not the penal code, but the corrupt regimes and the distorted sense of justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268156244556916801.post-37457015122714266532007-08-27T12:35:00.000+03:002007-08-27T12:35:00.000+03:00Ghazali went on to comment, "we wish to see these ...<I>Ghazali went on to comment, "we wish to see these punishments enforced ... but not so that the hand of a petty thief be cut while those punishments are waived in cases of embezzlement of fantastic funds from public treasury".</I><BR/><BR/>This statement really stood out for me. Thanks for the whole post actually though, because I never really thought about shari'ah in that way before.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177578450022894894noreply@blogger.com
