Critical Thoughts

But it worked against you. It so happens that I came across this verse that aptly describes what is happening. It addressed the munaafiqun (hypocrites) of Madinah who at the time were prone to swearing their “oath of fealty” to the Prophet (P) but break it at the first opportunity, but it is applicable to the current situation.

“They [the hypocrites] have made their oaths a screen [for their misdeeds]: thus they obstruct [men] from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.” (Quran: 63: 02)

Allah is truly Most High, for moving the heart of the ustaadh to reveal the true nature of the “oath” ceremony which turns out to be nothing more than a sham. Ameen!

Something about this whole liwat thing bothers me, despite the so-called “Qur’an swearing” and all. I’ve never seen a more relaxed sodomy victim sitting calmly in a room full of pressmen and photographers and taking questions without batting even an eyelid. You would think that a post-traumatic victim of sodomee would show some kind of anxiety disorder or distress after being violated in the butt-hole. But truth is, I do not see any of those signs in Saiful Bukhari Azlan. Do I think he is a victim? The answer is obvious.

As for the so-called “Quran-swearing” event itself, I have yet to see the video of the actual process taking place so I cannot say for certain what actually transpired, although according to the Malaysiakini reports the scene was recorded and shown to the reporters. I’ve done my fair share of swearing on the Qur’an to respond to the fitna of an Islam Liberal (who has convieniently until today yet to reply) but the way this whole thing is playing out in the “sodomy victim’s” case just does not feel right.
