I didn’t claim I, an 18 year old, know more about the ‘big world’ than you do. However, I’m very well aware that “The big world has unfaithfulness, deception and betrayal of many kinds”. Islam handles them as well, as I’ll explain. Again I say, don’t hold me responsible for whom you call fundamentalists. Talk to me about what I believe in, Islam the religion. And please, make your questions about God more objective.

As I said before, all punishments are carried out by the state, and not by individuals.
