yes i ' m sure there are unicorns outside of my experience who are wonderful people and treat a man exactly the way he should be treated . <| sep |> and it will , sooner or later , one way or another <| sep |> Whatever . Yes , not petty at all . I rebuked and which I demonstrated is impossible since they can ' t carry out those punishments since those punishments are for crimes they cannot adjudicate on . 1 .

And you can ' t even counter this properly beyond but . but . the lawyer guy said so . Hey if you still believe this , then please be my guest . I ' m too tired to continue this into midnight . No , they said any punishment allowed by Islamic law . Hard lashes aren ' t allowed . How do we know this for certain ? That hard lashes aren ' t allowed at all ? It would stand to reason that if lashes didn ' t hurt why would they even be done . Also what about crucifixion and detention for undetermined periods as mentioned by Dr . Faruqi . Like I said , I ' m not well versed with Islamic law hence why I defer to an expert not an anynonymous source with no qualifications from the internet . Credibility . He has it and you don ' t .
