Non-Muslim are free to practise their religion and law 2 ) Caliph is not necessarily elected by any specific method. He may be elected by the people, or by a council or by other method. It depends on the situation of the country. However, there is no prohibition whatsoever that prohibit non-Muslim for participating in the election. Instead, the religion call for fairness which means that no voice should be discriminated. Can non-Muslim practise in Malaysia in respect of Islamic Penal Law, should Hudud, Qisas, Tazir and Diyya be enforced? Tazir is already enforced. Tazir refer to laws beside hudud and qisas. The fact that certain state allow non-Muslim to become Syarie lawyer show that there is no such prohibition in the religion . Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't most states in Malaysia listed Muslim as a criteria to be qualified as a peguam syarie? Most doesn't mean all. If it is prohibited in Islam, all state will prohibit it. If there is formal request, the state will reconsider the criteria. Its more on mere formality. In a zina/adultery issue which involved one non-Muslim and one Muslim, what penalty and legal representation for the non-Muslim? The punishment for zina for the Muslim is clear. For the non-Muslim, he or she will not be punished with hudud. This refer to whipping (kindly take note that the whip must not be hard, must not cause injury and must not be raised high) and for married people, stoning. for the non-Muslim, the state is given the authority to prescribed suitable penalty for assisting a crime. For example, drinking liqor is not wrong for non-Muslim. However, punishment can be prescribed for non-Muslim who knowingly sell liqor to Muslim, if the state find it suit to do so.

So Pak Lah and UMNO wants to co-operate with PAS 'for the sake of Malays and Islam'? Fine, here's the conditions, as laid down by the wise Tuan Guru: 1. Dissolve UMNO and PAS 2. Create a new party based on Islam (effectively, a 'neo-PAS) 3. Implement hudud laws Put money where your mouth is and don't simply resort to empty rhetoric about Islam and the Malays. He very well knows that UMNO will never agree to dissolving the party. Nor will they agree to the implementation of hudud and qisas. Nik Aziz is simply calling Pak Lah's bluff over the whole issue.

Does Hudud and Qisas apply to Muslim and non-Muslim or non-Muslim may elect during the time of Caliph? Can non-Muslim practise in Malaysia in respect of Islamic Penal Law, should Hudud, Qisas, Tazir and Diyya be enforced? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't most states in Malaysia listed Muslim as a criteria to be qualified as a peguam syarie? In a zina/adultery issue which involved one non-Muslim and one Muslim, what penalty and legal representation for the non-Muslim? My previous statement is not meant to hurt anyone but just an expression of concern which inevitably subject to interpretation. I stand to be corrected and I apologize for any unintended offence to my brothers and sisters.

God save our profession..." I find that statement really hurts.

For example, Muslim is generally prohibited from drinking liquor and penalty is prescribed under Syariah Law for Muslim who do. However, Syariah Law does not prohibit non-Muslim from drinking liquor. I request all Muslim to stop confusing non-Muslim by giving bad perception and wrong idea about Syariah Law. I am certain lawyers will not be out of job.

Someday, I will tell all where I got this from. Meanwhile, just enjoy the roller-coaster ride. Stephen Tan Ban Cheng - Stephen Tan Ban Cheng Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:14:16 +0100
