Some postmen were recently caught selling foreign mail to waste-paper traders. Considering that the mail sold by the postmen may well have contained drafts for widows from sons working abroad, you cannot help but feel that this is the kind of crime which should be punished according to Islamic law.

It may seem abhorrent to some people, but by amputating the hands of such heartless men in public, we may succeed in reducing the crime rate to a significant extent.
