Saudis forced Hudood laws on Pakistani women
Habshi
Non existent cruel Allah cant stick to his own business and who cant
even control his own angels doesnt know enough to leave us humans
alone .
These sharia laws have wrecked the lives of millions of
Pakistani women . They are stoned to death if they cant find four male
eyewitnesses to their rape . Did Allah not think that if four males
were witnessing a rape they would stop it ?

Hudood ordinances
The other day I watched a telephonic interview of Chaudhry Sardar
Muhammad, a former IGP of Punjab, on a television channel. To a
question, he admitted that he had also been a collaborator in
formulating the Hudood ordinances.
He said that Ziaul Haq had convened a meeting of high-ups to speak on
the deteriorating economic condition of the country, especially after
the death of Zulfikar Ali. Bhutto.
Zia told the meeting that the US and the European countries had
stopped financial aid and only Saudi Arabia could extend financial
assistance to Pakistan in its hour of need.
According to Chaudhry Sardar Muhammad, the government decided to
immediately formulate Hudood ordinances in order to please the Saudi
government and get substantial aid.
In the formulation of the Hudood ordinances, more than religious
considerations, economic factors were involved, and when the
ordinances were presented before Justice Samdani, the then federal law
secretary, he refused to sign them.
From the interview of Sardar Muhammad, it is evident that the sole
consideration behind the formulation of the Hudood ordinances was
financial. Now when the economic and political scenario has changed
after 9/11 and Pakistan as an ally of the US in the war on terror is
getting economic aid, the government after mobilizing public opinion
may get rid of, or at least amend, the controversial clauses of the
Hudood ordinances.
This will definitely add to the stature of Pakistani society in the
comity of nations
