Murderer considered innocent
The other day a local television channel broadcast a news which I would like to share with the readers of this daily back at home. Here in Houston, a man was caught red-handed by his master while attempting to molest his daughter aged around 5-7. The father of the underage child became very angry witnessing the incident and beat the molester of his daughter to death.
If something like this had happened in Bangladesh, the police would have arrested the person and convicted him as a murderer. Contrary to this popular practice, no charges were brought against the father and he was considered innocent, who killed a man in self-defence. The police chief of the county commented that the man acted in self-defence and while doing so, he killed another person. Anyone in his position would have done the same thing and as such, he is considered innocent.
The neighbours also gave their verdict in favour of the man who killed his helper in a bid to save his underage daughter from being molested. Hail to the United States of America, where law rules supreme. This is what Islam emphasises most but regrettably no where in the Islamic world does law rules supreme, rather it is tyranny.
