I’m amused at how Geller and Spencer think themselves experts simply because they’ve read 1 book on Islamic law. Apparently, they’re not too familiar with ‘tazeer’ punishments, which are discretionary punishments the Judge can hand out if for whatever reason the main punishment stipulated in in the established punishments cannot be handed out.
SO while she quotes that parents can’t be subjected to retaliation in the case of murdering children - that doesn’t mean they’d get off scot free and they’d still be liable to punishment like Jail time.
Still digging around on this, and hopefully once i get some concrete evidence on this issue - it’ll be valuable information to shut the 2 self proclaimed champions of human rights and Islamic scholars up.
