To Hadi: Wages of Blasphemy

"Please understand that the man is not muslim. They are sick people.

For your information, there no sex without marriage in Islam. Once they did sex before married means they didn't obey the islam way."

But that is what the Kazis / Qadis are there for, Mr. Hadi, to conduct the marriage, oversee the costs and sometimes also to approve talaq, to ensure a complete Islamic transaction! Are you confused, or what?

Secondly, who decides who is Muslim, and who is not? If these Shaikhs are not Muslim, are they guilty of blasphemy in the name of Islam, by marrying the minor girls in the presence of the Muslim priests? Are the priests guilty of blasphemy also, according to you? Or are you the blasphemer?

What is the punishment for blasphemy according to the Koran? What is it in Indonesia?

Why are the guardians of Islam, ever too aggressive about a purported slight in the name of Islam, so silent on this issue for such a long time? Why can't the vast coffers of the Hajj money and the zakat be used to arrange marriages of young Muslim women in poor families in a dignified humane way?

Or is such prostitution and traffick in women sanctified in Islam, so that all the hooligans can continue their scandalous ways at the cost of poor Muslim women? And what of their children?
