With regrads to hudud laws, do you know the conditions for them? do you know the statistics of how many were carried out?

Let me ask you this, why should muslim face anti terror laws, i.e. stop and search, arrests with not grounds. The recent paedophile who was let out 4 years earlier.

In teh 1400 years there were only about 200 hands cut off for stealing (this is recorded in the university of Baghdad. Did you know the conditions for these hudud to be implemented are that the property being stolen has to be in a secure place, above a certain value, and requires 4 witneses. an exampe of this is when Ali (the prophets nephew was caliph) he saw his coat being worn by a jew, he took the jew to the judge, who asked Ali to bring witnesses, to which Ali responded he did not have any, the judge passed a ruling in the Jew's favour. If you pointed a finger at me today, and said that I was a terrorist, what do you think would happen?

Similar rulings apply in all the other hudud. Point being the punihment system is for the protection of society. Another example is at the time of Draught in Africa, the Caliph at the time, suspended the hudud as, the basic needs were not being fulfilled by the state.
