I think that what has happened in this story is undoubtably very tragic. But as rupertj said, it is all about corruption. Unfortunatly, these sorts of things happen daily, without us even knowing, irrespective of the religious clergies involved. Speaking as a muslim I am deeply ashamed of the acts of this judge who seemingly has no knowledge of law but also ashamed that we all seem to have a hasty prejudice against the billion and a half people in this world who practise the religion of islam.
A few people on here seem to think that all muslims are like this when they are not, its the tiny minority who have had no education and just plonked into positions of seniority by the powers that be- and this, in many cases, may well be islamist extremists who have strong influence on the governmental bodies of those countries ensnared. The causes of these situations are again equally tragic. News agencies and media corporations love to exploit circumstances like these for money because people show interest for this. It gets people arguing, debating all for nothing. Alas Amina is dead and may she rest in peace, arguments will not bring her back and certainly will not bring the judge to any justice or clean the world of corruption. The judge was not right in islam doing that. So why blame islam on the whole for his viewpoint?
