People have spoken against Islamic law saying it is barbaric and outdated. Yet such barbaric scenes constantly arise and those who see Islamic law as harsh are silent on such issues. Others even condone mob justice arguing that it helps in taming crime where the police has failed.
We have seen petty criminals losing their lives through such scenes and even through the judicial system where a violent robber if found guilty even for cases which involve a a mobile phone worth Sh 1,000 is sentenced to death.
Islamic law on the other hand is totally against this kind of barbarism. While the Shariah amputating the hand is punishment for burglars, this can only be done after putting into consideration the value of the product stolen and also it has to be proved that the offender is a habitual thief and he had no justifiable reason for such a person to engage in that criminal activity. If such a person can for example prove that he resorted committing that particular crime. If he can convince the court that he resorted to the crime to feed his family which which was on the verge of starvation, he is not only set free but the state has a responsibility to look after his welfare so that he cannot be able to resort to the the crime in the future.
In cases where the thief was 'tempted', for instance leaving yr car with the window open and the phone on the dashboard, it is you who will be blamed and the thief will be left off the hook.
This is the essence of the often maligned Islamic judicial system, the Shariah.
