Sorry forgot about the other thread Confused

Following on from points there... you said Ryaan you were unsure of Islamic law... It is stated that: The punishment is legal under the Islamic Sharia principle of qias, equivalence or analogy, which allows retribution for violent crimes.

Just as in the OT laws from eye for an eye were to let the people feel justice is done. If you're wronged only an equal and opposite action against your perpetrator is going to make you feel that balance has been restored.

I found it hilarious so many people citing Christian forgiveness and higher morals as "civilized".
