This article is the continuation for the article Islamic Judiciary & The Perception of Man.Alas, I have left most of my resources back in Kuala Lumpur, as I had never expected my stay in Penang to be extended until the end of the year, furthermore to have any access at all to write out my thoughts on any available medium.
However, I can still recall an article I published in 2006 on a newsletter of one of the university societies that I participated actively back in Shah Alam. The article emphasised on the benefits of performing 100 lashes on an unmarried person, stoning to death on a married man commited of adultery.
An unmarried person has full antibody within him, whilst a married person's antibody is only about 10% of the original capacity. This antibody is vital in neutralizing any foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses; in this case, any viruses formed as a result of adultery.
To activate the antibody, man must be in pain. Therefore, what better way than whipping.
However, for a married person, no matter how much pain he/she is in, the remaining antibody is insufficient to fight off the viruses. And it is these viruses that contribute to Sexually-Transmitted Diseases (STD). That is why the person is sentenced to be stoned to death, not only to stop the spread of the virus, but the stoning itself humiliates he/she who has commited adultery, and as a lesson to others.
Is Syari'ah law really a threat to human rights as so described by those who know not of its knowledge? Think again...
