وقائع ندوة: أنا ماركسي على طريقتي و لا أرى في قانون الشريعة من بأسٍ: عبد الله علي إبراهيم مثالا

Quote: I think the Shariaa is a personal matter, if a person chooses to be governed by a certain set of rules, from a democratic point of view, no body should deny him/her that right, and also if somebody choose to be governed by the civic code they should also be given that right, most of us were born in families that followed the shariaa, we were circumcized, married according to the shariaa, and will be buried according to it, so we live according to it, when it comes to the criminal law, we have also to give people the choice. If somebody stole, or comitted adultry or whatever, and repented that and wanted to be punished by his religion's rules we should not deny them, and if they choose otherwise it is their right. The way I see it, the choice should lie with the person who will have to live with the consequences. We all remeber that woman who came to the prophet mihammed, and asked to be punished for committing adultry, the prophet tried to find her all the execuses, and she insisted, and was stoned, but the remarks of the prophet were " if her repentance was measured against that of the whole people, her's would have exceeded them"... I believe it is a personal issue. The other side if the majority chooses that, it should be granted. A dual system as we had before in the Sudan, Almahkama alshariaa, and almadania.
