i agree with you, mere suspicion should not be the basis of punishment. there must be a fair trail before verdict and punishment. but still: i wonder that by heart we may hate islam but actually every body thinks in the similar way of reducing crime and that is not thing but islam. i wonder sometimes how islam will be in power as promised in the holy Quran when every body hates it. but it seems people are bound to love it by nature, only thing is they hate it out of their ignorance as they are mostly influenced by their leaders or their own hatred but naturally they love and desire for islam. just see how this mob punishment is being appreciated in the blog. truely, islam is the only hope for the crime torn world. islam made saudi arabia a crime free country, we need it every where in the world.
