"A hand is cut off if he steals (anything) that costs one-fourth of a dinar and over. May God curse the thief. If he steals an egg, his hand must be cut off, or if he steals a rope, his hand must be cut off" (refer to Sahih of the Bukhari, part 8, pp. 199-201).
"A man stole the gown of Safwan while he was in the mosque. Safwan, who was one of Muhammad%u2019s famous companions, arrested him and brought him to Muhammad. Muhammad ordered his hand to be cut off. Safwan shouted with surprise, %u2018Because of my gown you cut off his hand? I give it to him free.%u2019 Muhammad said to him, %u2018That would only have been possible before you brought him to me.%u2019 Muhammad ordered his hand to be cut off immediately" (refer to ibn Timiyya, volume 28, page 311; ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, part 5, page 51 of Zad of the Ma%u2019ad).
"The punishment of whipping shall be inflicted by means of a knotless whip of medium length and a single tip after stripping the convict of such clothing as may prevent pain to the body. Strokes must be divided all over the body; regarding women, the strokes may only be on her back and shoulders."
"A person found guilty of theft shall be punishable as follows: 1 - amputation of the right hand for the first offense, 2 - amputation of the left foot for the second offense, 3 -imprisonment till the time of evident repentance for subsequent offenses."

IF SAME PUNISHMENTS ARE IMPLEMENTED IN INDIA FOR MUSLIMS,
MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS WILL LOSE THEIR HANDS AND LEGS.
THEY MUST FEEL FORTUNATE THAT THEY LIVE IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY
Data collected by the government and its agencies highlight the scale of physical aggression and oppression faced by Dalit communities. The 2005 Annual Report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs states that a crime against Scheduled Caste (S.C.) communities is committed every 20 minutes in the country. It records that 26,127 cases of atrocities against S.C communities were reported last year. In 2004, the recorded number of crimes against Dalits was 26,887. The 2005 report states that there were 1,172 cases of rape of Dalit women, 669 cases of murder, 258 cases of kidnapping and abduction and 3,847 cases of causing hurt. There were 291 cases under the Protection of Civil Rights Act and 8,497 cases under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Atrocities against Dalits range from verbal abuse to rape and forcing them to consume human excreta and urine; from denial of access to public amenities such as drinking water, roads, bus stops, markets and temples to denial of civil rights; from physical harm to social boycotts. Police personnel often play a role in the violence against Dalits; custodial rape and violence are among the most frequent forms of assault on the community. All sorts of things invite attacks on Dalits: alleged "disobedience" of village elders, refusal to perform `duties' such as conveying information about deaths, or a Dalit boy falling in love with a caste-Hindu girl. Even the victory of a football team of Dalit boys in a school match, or a Dalit bus driver's refusal to oblige a caste Hindu by stopping the vehicle near his residence, have provoked atrocities against Dalit villages in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu.
The report indicted successive governments for their lukewarm response to atrocities against Dalits and criticised the continued hostility to Dalits amid orthodox and influential sections in the dominant community. What is unique about violence against Dalits is that the victims are "chosen on the basis of birth in a given society", the report said. It blamed the caste-based, hierarchical social structure, a creation of the dominant castes, for dividing society into privileged and subdued groups with Dalits at the bottom and outside the caste order. "The frequency and intensity of violence," the report said, "is an offshoot of desperate attempts by the upper-caste groups to protect their entrenched status against the process of disengagement and upward mobility among lower castes, resulting from affirmative action of State policy [enshrined in the Constitution of India]."

Millions of millions of Dalits and obC's are tortured, mudered, gangraped, looted everyday by upper caste thugs headed by Brahmin criminals.
Even today this is everyday happening. We need not use adjective criminal, every born Brahmin is a criminal. What is the psychology behind this YOUR vulgar posting?

EVERYDAY?
This country is ruled by Non-Hindus, this Govt. is all of reserved catagory. The millions being murdered & raped everyday are GENERAL class people. The reseved class people are busy occupying Govt. positions snatched away from deserving general class candidates. Who can murder & rape them? Infact it is they who are murdering & raping our helpless country.
AND STOP SHOOTING IRRELEVANT ARGUEMENTS FROM YOUR DIRTY MOUTH.
I AM 101% SURE THAT YOU ARE A PAKI. Your only interest seems to be making Indians fight each other.
