“Why do we have Shariah Courts again?”

Killing people in the name of religion is the reason why Pakistani’s are considered extremists and I just hope that Shariah Courts for once do something about it.







Salman Taseer’s murder is the very reason why Pakistani’s are considered to be extremists all over the world. Whatever Salman Taseer did, I am not concerned about that right now. Today, it’s the question of you and me, doing something we think is right. But what if some Mulla or Moulvi or may be a (read so-called) religious scholar declares us a ‘sinner’ and according to (read his) Islam, we deserve a death panelty.
Although the idea of Shariah Court confuses me (as I really don’t think that the other courts are non Sharae) but we do have these religious courts. Citizens of Pakistan do have a right of peaceful protests. That is fine. But then who or what gives some Muslim scholar a right to accuse and pass judgments about any other citizen of Pakistan? Why do we have Shariah Courts if we are to pass judgments on our own?
All I am waiting is to see what our ‘Shariah’ courts do to stop the ’sin’ of motivating innocent, less-educated people to murder fellow citizens in the name of Islam. The Shariah Court authorities must educate the Musalmans to file a case against who ever they consider a threat for the religion instead of killing people. The relevant authorities must make themselves useful or let the Musalmans distort the face of Islam.
