Hudud...what I see

One thing is sure, the day Hudud laws are implemented anywhere in Malaysia, we in the eyes of the world would propel back to the stone ages. I am defo sure.

No tourist in his sane mind would even think of crossing shores to get here. No tourist would want to have his hands, feet or his "godly appendage" cut off under the eyes of Hudud. 

In my little vested opinion, Malaysia is coming to its crossroads of sorts. A stronger opposition representation in Parliament and the deliberation of the implementation of Hudud. Swell! Just what we need in these trying times.

Hey! You wonder what the future holds for us Malaysians? Or, with regards to Hudud, what future will there be to look for? 

And don't forget too the brutality of the sentence in Hudud e.g. the stoning to death for adultery or zina. How more brutal is this gonna become?

Let me lay down and get you to consider one simple example :

A man is caught for theft. Under the Hudud law, his hands are cut off. Then a few days or even a month later, the authorities catch another thief (Moslem) who confesses he was the one who had actually committed the earlier crime.

The question now is - what does Hudud do to the one who had his hands chopped off for a crime he did not commit?  Are they really going to stitch back the hands and say "Sorry, we made a mistake. Now you got back your hands. We ensure the next time such a folly does not happen."

Try imagining the above scenario for rape. 

Or try this.

A girl is stoned to death for adultery. She is later found to be pregnant. The stoning had killed two souls. The Hudud law says only the girl is to be stoned but the brutal 'process' had killed two. How do the authorities replace the other innocent unborn soul? And, where does it say for adultery, one should be stoned to death?

If at all for zina, one should be stoned, wow many, I mean many Malaysians will need to be stoned as well. Way far too many.  

Looking from any angle, this all seems too scary and grim and utter chilling. Whats more in many scenarios, the rapist goes scot free. I really wish to know what the parents of the girl who died from stoning think of the rapist? Or at this juncture, you should ask - who actually is the crime perpetrator?

For the women folk, are you really contented with this Hudud 'law'?

The law is the law and should be for all irrespective who you're or what you represent. No one should be above the law - not rulers or sultans. But, if Hudud is implemented, would it be subjected to the royalties?

Or is the PAS government going to say, Hudud is only for the non-royalties.

I guess, there are far too many questions on Hudud and none has got the exact answer except if you're in Kelantan.

Then again, it was also said, Hudud is NOT for non-Moslems. Is this statement correct or a ploy? So do they mean to say it's okay to brutalise and victimise Moslems.  I honestly DO NOT concur to this.

Goosh! I do have loads of questions but where can I get the answers. We live in a multi-cultural multi-ethnic society. People are now scared and confused. Who is in his or her sane mind wana speak about Hudud?

Imagine what Anwar would have gone thru' if he was subjected to Hudud?

Why can't Malaysia subscribe to a single common law for all. What is there to gain from championing Hudud? Does Hudud come under the Syariah Courts?

Be beguiled, be afraid...be very afraid.

One thing is sure - when Hudud comes into play, I wana see how many Moslems are going to have their hands, feet and dicks chopped off daily. Interesting ain't it! Everyday, we would be buying papers to know the number of dicks chopped off and / or women stoned to death.

Kelantan would prolly have a caption something like this - "Selamat datang ke Kelantan. Kami HUDUD."

If Hudud is good, then all Moslems would advocate it whole-heartily but that does not seem to be the case. Why?
