Any penance will, of course, not bring Farkhanda back, but may,
perhaps may, preempt another Farkhanda falling to the stones of the faithful.
Watching these barbarian killers I asked how debasing, inhuman
and barbaric, faith can make of perfectly normal looking men [brothers,
fathers, sons...]
If this video is a faithful account of the incident, I ask the
faithful Muslims the following questions:
a. If the killers acted out of genuine / permitted religious
dictat - assuming that Farkhanda did desecrate the Quran as alleged - do you
[addressing the faithful Muslims] endorse their action? If you don't, what
punishment would you have recommended against them for taking the law into
their hands?
b. If she was innocent, what punishment do you propose for the
killers - and against how many of them? Do you concede, too, that either these
faithful were particularly a bunch of barbaric criminals or that faith in
general can make monsters of men, if followed without a conscience?
c. If you concede that these hundred odd killers and their
supporters are Muslim believers, are you disturbed that so many of you have
turned so cruel, so insensitive to human pain, so disrespectful of human life,
and so arrogant to play God?
d. What actions do you propose to completely eradicate such
cruelties from our midst?
