As a Muslim I believe as per the teachings of Quran, Fatwas can be issued only when there is a critical situation and after studying pros and cons. In Imranas case Fatwa was issued without even udnerstanding the case. We need educated Scholars who handle these type of cases and who understand the complexities of individual cases.
Hope the Scholars would in future dont rush to conclusions by jsut hearing some compaints and these case should be left to the court to decide.

Actually, we need judges and the police to solve such cases, not educated scholars, my dear friend. What happened over here is a CRIME, not some religious interpretation issue.

Dear friend, I am living in U.A.E..This is a muslim country.. if such a rape case happens here,its not the mullahs or scholars who will give judgement..it goes to the court proceedings and ultimately the judge gives the verdict...I think in the name of democracy we have given too much freedom to these kind of ''half baked mullahs''
