Asking Anwar to swear on Quran: Barking the wrong tree
For all those who think that Anwar should swear in the name of Allah using the Quran to prove his innocence, you are definitely barking the wrong tree. In this sodomy allegation case, Anwar is not required to prove anything. The sodomy case is similar to adultery (zina) case. The onus is on Saiful Bukhari Azlan, the accuser, to prove his allegation.
In Islam, Saiful Bukhari Azlan has to produce at least 4 witnesses to back his claim against Anwar. Yes… you read it correct. No less than 4 witnesses of the actual sodomy acts being committed are required to commit Anwar in this sodomy allegation. As a matter of fact, in Islam, if Saiful Bukhari Azlan failed to produce 4 material witnesses to back his allegation against Anwar, he would be caned. No kidding.
Mind you, these 4 witnesses must also fulfill certain criteria to be accepted as credible witnesses. Not any Tom, Dick and Harry can be accepted as witnesses in the adultery case.
So to those who have been making so much noises trying to appear to be seen as Islamic by urging Anwar to swear in the name of Allah using the Quran, please stop the crap. If you want to be seen or appear as Islamic, you should ask Saiful Bukhari Azlan to produce 4 witnesses to prove that Anwar is guilty of sodomy. If not, will you just just let the civil law takes it course…. regardless of, of course, how much trust we have in our judiciary, which is not the point being discussed here.
So, Saiful Bukhari Azlan…. do you have 4 witnesses?

accuser being caned? Did any accuser receive the cane when the sodomy case against Anwar was not proven before? This is Malaysia and it is Malaysia boleh. You can even force a SD being overturned in 24 hours.
CJCM: He he he
problem is, anuar is seen to many has the future mal’s pm. i am not a fan of anuar, and yet now not a single bn leader able to lead our country to compete globally. so anuar might be the closes one. but are malaysian ready to hv homo pm. it won’t take much to stand in the mosque after jummat prayer and swear with the holy quraan, infront of the crowd, denying in the name of Allah, he never been a homo before. this is a big stop to many that still questioning his homo status. is that so difficult.
CJCM: As I understand it… Anwar has not been proven guilty of his sodomy allegation, the 1st and even more of the 2nd one.
Well, I’m probably wrong, but I think he does have the 4 witnesses, as all the other people who commit zina or sodomy and they are the two guardian angels, the guy who did it to him and God.
So the next time you are thinking about getting jiggy with it, you are safe in the witness front in the hereafter, think again.
But of course, theology has no place in the court of law.
I guess I’ve never been a fan. Boo hoo.
