I saw this information item in today’s paper. The foremost thing I seen was that it’s a Pakistani National who’s attempting to avoid wasting the lives of Indians. In lately of extreme hatred going practically unchecked between the 2 neighbor nations,- India and Pakistan – this news gave me a very nice feeling. Compassion is no-body’s private property. Compassion transcends all social, economic, racial, spiritual and national barriers. That is an instance, – a human rights activists is making an attempt to save heaps of the lives of 17 convicted murderers belonging to his nation’s enemy country.

My due thanks additionally goes to the Shariah legal system on this specific case, which supplies a last chance to the sentenced convict after trial to survive. This regulation bestows complete energy in the aggrieved person to pardon the perpetrator of the heinous crime and the pardon is complete, – the convict walks straight from the prison into the free world without having to undergo a reduced sentence. Now the Pakistani activist is arranging US $ fifty four,000/- as compensation to the family in Pakistan, of the murdered person.

This compensation known as as “blood money” in local parlance by the people who are familiar with Shariah Law. Ansar Burney, the gentleman who is going to pay the ‘blood money’ is still to surpass sure nationwide and international legal hurdles, the paper says. But it seems he is going to obtain success in his mission as there are such precedences. Kudos to the lion hearted activist. I wonder if violence isn’t one of many primary instincts of human being. Only man among the total residing species indulges in violence and killing without any benefit. All different animal species resort into violence both for self protection or its prey. I do not need to go into searching the explanations anthropologically or scientifically. Then again I am attempting to analyze human nature spiritually. I feel worry is the guiding pressure making greed, envy and jealousy at the root of all uncalled for violence. And, what about punishments underneath any national felony penal code? The legalized punishment for against the law is all the time within the form of either revenge or a form of violence. Is not death sentence violence?
