What is hudud, and what is all about it?

What is hudud, and what is all about it?
(you asked for this)

It is not about cutting others’ hands. It is not a form of permitted killing spree of the innocent. It is not an ancient, cruel law. Hudud is a law, as we Muslims believe and acknowledge, made by God himself.
Stop laughing, there’s nothing funny about that. Our religion is a guidance. It is a tool of submission to Allah. We learnt that a free market requires government intervention because there is market failure, and so it is with the complex human life. We , all of us, you and me believe in ethics, social norms and attitudes in a ‘free’ life.That’s the basics of an utopian human life,and it sounds perfect. But still, that life fails, like market failures. There are externalities, when adults have free sex, then suddenly innocent children contact HIV. Too many cases of robbery, rapes, children without fathers, cheating spouses, which proves that life sucks. So what is the form of ‘intervention’ that we need? Probably not subsidy and taxes.
Our religion brings solution to these problems. This is based on faiths, and facts, yeah, proof on real life. This law is not just pure theories like legalism , or the Common Law of the Britons, but hudud is proven to be effective as a solution to certain problems of the society.
Saudi Arabia is a country that implement hudud. Look at these sites and compare, the statistics of crime in Arabia and other countries. Believe in what you see.

We had been mocked by the media, by the politicians, about hudud, as a tribal, over-conservative laws of cruelty. Wait a minute, that’s total bullshit. This law provide justice and moral to others, as a form of solution. Nobody has to be afraid of the law if he/she did nothing. If you didn’t steal, then what is the basis of being afraid that everyone’s hands being cut? Unless you did.
God made us, so God knows what’s best for us. Or do we now more than God?
Hudud is just a fraction of the whole system. There is Ta’zir, laws decided by humans for crimes, which the punishment is not mentioned in the Quran and Hadith, such as bribery, drugs and stuff. Hudud is to curb theft ,highway robbery ,illegal sexual intercourse ,false accusation of zina' and drinking alcohol . The punishments are capital punishments - by sword/crucifixion (for highway robbery with homicide), by stoning (for zina' when the offenders are mature, married Muslims) Amputation of hands (for theft and highway robbery without homicide) Flogging with a varying number of strokes (for drinking, zina' when the offenders are unmarried or not Muslims, and false accusations of zina') .
I don’t think I should explain why the crimes above are considered crimes in Islam. The consequences are grave enough.
These punishments are made infront of the public. It is justice for the victims, punishment for the convicted, and morale for the people. It is not to make people afraid, it teaches people to differentiate what is wrong and what is right. Then, if no one ever dared to do such crimes , would those punishments ever occur? A law which educates the people is probably better than laws that pamper prisoners with great jail and food. This is simple logics. Peace.

I am not a desocializer~

  I am not a desocializer, I just have nothing to say. And I dont know what to say, furthermore I don't know anything worth saying. So don't look at me with those judging eyes, be tolerant and understanding.We muslims never do talk to much without reasons. We never laugh, like bitches, over pointless subjects ,and we choose silence as a better option.

             I know you regard us muslims as elusive and desocializers. Yeah, we don't talk 'that' much, we never laugh too loud. We don't go to your parties, and we don't sit with you for dinner. We never touched the girls' fingers, nor their hair,  and never did we allow your girls ,upon touching. And worse, we never shake their hands. We seemed to be so rude and racist, non-liberal and ancient. So conservative, that you people found us as deserted people from strange lands.


            Don't take us as strangers, aliens from outer space. Religion told us to be diligent, prominent and productive, and at    the same time, to take complete care of our interactions with people. This is not a non-liberal-overconservative  act , but, it is a choice we made, liberally. IF we chose not to follow your lifestyle, should we be regarded as Talibans? You said that this is a free life with free options, can't we choose ours? You saw us walking together to the surau with our attire, you saw us as a weird group of nerds, doing  useless things, while you sit with your girlfriend making a public display of affection.

              We dont  do those things because God said so. Fullstop, isn't it, but you won't be satisfied. Instead you started asking me, does God really exist? Dude, go to hell~
              You wanted pure logics, isn't it? We don't shake hands with girls, we never touch 'em, because we regard woman as highly honored human beings. They aren't subjects in your porn fantasies,  not girlfriends that you pick and dump, but they are our mothers , our sisters and our daughters. We took a stand that they must be treated with care, honored with marriages, and treated fairly, not as dolls for display.
             We refused to go to your parties because that isn't  a way for us to celebrate things. Yeah, we do have parties, but all hairs and legs are covered, there's no jumpings like monkeys, no touchings , and  of course the girls' and boys' sections are separated. We celebrate victory, not hedonism.
             We talked less, and we seldom laugh, because there isn't a need for it. You laughed over everything, but, are you REALLY happy? Do you, yourself find it hilarious? I'm delighted to know.Forgive us for talking less and producing more.            
              The world has too much free sex, too much porn, too many single mothers, too many diseases, and too little happiness. Our religion told us  to respect women, to avoid useless things, and never waste time. We believe , that is the solution for the problems above, so allow us to live, our way. Do you have a better way? Be open to tell and elaborate that.
              These are just simple logics, I do have more, but these are enough. This is our pledge to you, for you to consider, because you too, are a MUSLIM, just like us. Peace.
