@samseer_ahamed Glad you clarified, but It was inside private, not public worship. Framing consenting adults as criminals needing state punishment is wrong. Whatever action a country takes, state violence has no excuse. The actual criminal is the friend who filmed, extorted, and leaked it...
My point is that the maximum punishment prescribed in the Holy Quran for zina is 100 lashes. So why demand the death penalty? That doesn’t mean I’m advocating for giving them 100 lashes. Adultery in a place of public worship is also a crime, but if you want to ensure fair punishment, don’t kill innocent people in the name of religion.
Calling out the death ruling is fair, but bringing up "it’s only 100 lashes" is wild, that level of physical brutality also leads to death itself.
Two consenting adults being brutalized because someone secretly recorded and extorted them is horrific, Period.
Not sure if rebuttal using the religious books is the right strategy anymore. Even if the book says so, you CANNOT allow it in a civilized humane world. These religious books cannot update itself but laws and people can.
I hope to see a world without religion.

Let the world's ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win!

சட்டம் சரின்னா, மதத்துக்காக கொல்லலாமா? உண்மை எதுவா வேணா இருக்கட்டும். ஆனா இது மனிதத்தன்மை இல்லைன்னு கண்டனம் தெரிவிக்க உங்களை தடுப்பது எதுவோ, அது தான் உங்கள் உண்மை முகம். மனிதனை விட எந்த மதமும் முக்கியம் இல்லை.
China is replacing commercial ads on selected billboards & metro screens with portraits of renowned scientists like Yuan Longping and Tu Youyou. To celebrate scientific achievement & inspire the next generation. What we choose to honour shapes what our children aspire to become.
They create an emotional storyline: A hero, a villain, a victim and a battle are often easier to communicate than complicated policy arguments.
They distract from performance: The conversation shifts from “What have you achieved?” to “Who is conspiring against you?”
Weak circulation over the SW Bay may drift west into the Gulf of Mannar, favouring widespread rainfall across TN over the next 48 hrs. 🌧️ Rainy night ahead for Chennai, with coastal TN staying active. Models often underestimate rainfall in such setups. #Chennai#ChennaiRains
