abdul allah, i agree with you, any wrongful allegation is cruelty against humanity.Dont get mixed up with other laws,this law is not islamic and mostly used in the past as a personel grudge,it has been proved. I got your point br but lets have some human feelings and compassion.This law was not only used against the minoritites but also against muslims too.Theft and murder cases are totally different cases.No need to to over react about this racist law,even ejaz ul haq said it need amendment.you said misuse should be stopped but then who will stop it?
Samy.
Amendment is not repealing the law itself. yes they should make amendments so that it can not be used as a weapon to settle personal scores etc...
But how you said it is not Islamic?
Quran/Hadith are two basic sources of Islamic Laws.
I have posted Two Ahadith.
One is
Sahi Muslim
It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Who will kill Ka'b b. Ashraf?
He has maligned Allah, the Exalted, and His Messenger. Muhammad b. Maslama said: Messenger of Allah, do you wish that I should kill him?
He said: Yes. He said: Permit me to talk (to him in the way I deem fit). He said: Talk (as you like)....... (Book #019, Hadith #4436)
and other is
Sahi Abud Dawood
(1) Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:
A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) was informed about it. He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up. He sat before the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her.
Thereupon the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood. (Book #38, Hadith #4348)
If you think with care
Then no it is not Inhuman law.
