I am imperfect and I have imperfect children, in-fact my wife and I had a meeting with one of our son’s teacher this weeks for deliberate break in communication (aka lying),
when I ask this son why he always said “no homework” when he had home work, his reply was “I want to play”, we fixed that with consequences. At the same time we challenged him on what he has learnt in bible studies, and to always remember that even when daddy or mummy is not present, God is. I remember telling a few lies when I was this son’s age.

When times are tough people are creative in ways of surviving, some chose good creativity, while others choose criminal ways. Law makers in responsible countries make laws to punish appropriately and also rehabilitate the offender, especially if he/she is a minor. Iran is a country that has been under economic isolation for many years because of their policies and threats, it however seems the economic blockade is not affecting the government but its populace. Anyone (Iranian) who dare challenge the government about how the populace is suffering ends up in jail.
Poverty has turned many Iranian children into street beggars and some steal to exist (I’m not condoning stealing). Rather than provide avenues to take care of these children, the custodian of government in Iran are carrying out lop sided consequences (for poor kids), what they call “Sharia Law”, with the no room for grace or rehabilitation.
I have nothing against Islam, but I do have serious problems with “Sharia” laws if the pictures below are what Sharia is about. Is this what Islam is about? I welcome comments from Muslims on this forum.
I know this for a fact; all of us reading this article (including the person holding the boy down) at his age have stolen something or told a lie, so we all should be walking around with one arm or a missing tongue.
Is this the Sharia law that Arch-Bishop Rowan (the bishop of Canterbury) said would not affect British jurisprudence?
 I am not happy
