How many sources of Islam are there?

Sometimes, some Muslims are afraid little bit to speak what they really think about certain issues of Islam, and they don't comment stupid things some Muslims do, so that somebody would see what they think and how that thought is not generally accepted. About certain issues in Islam. I understand that, and by the way, I too sometimes avoid commenting some things I regard highly stupid, to avoid offending authors of such texts, ideas and comments.

Islam has issues, I wish those will be discussed here.

Hesitation to sometimes speak about certain things that we think are wrong, mostly because of fear of being misunderstood by our local communities. We feel that we could discuss those with friends, but not the broder community. Writing gives us chance to releive ourselves by writing about those issues that bother us. Also, we can maybe try and correct some things to bring better times to those who suffer, and there are such people, from wrongs in Islam.

Those things are regarding hadiths as holy as the Qur’an.
You will find at many places many Muslims saying “the TWO sources” of Islam, while there is either one source, which is the Qur’an, and there are also levels of that source, one being simply the words read, other being the recitation being in somebody’s “heart”and so on…

Anyway, either there is only the Qur’an as the source, or there are many sources, which relate on hadiths, but those sources are not the prophet, rather, those are “alleged prophets sayings”. There’s an entire discipline that the Muslims study, how to analyze the hadith, which ones are and which ones aren’t “real” and authentic. And while there’s no single point of view about many hadiths, the Qur’an is all equal to all. But still, the “suunis” tend to keep saying “the two sources”, or “two major sources”. But indeed, either there is one, or many. I am fine with “many”, because people developed ideas based on the Qur’an and the hadiths, and what the early Muslims did. But again, there’s only the Qur’an as a source, with other “sources” being left to be thought about, and mainly taken with a grain of salt.

Sexual crimes in Islam - no it's not rape, it's being raped (mostly)

The new recruit initially needed some coaxing to punish an unmarried woman caught in a hotel room with a man. The article points out this morality crime in the region called Aceh, in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country. The alleged criminals get a public whipping.  The new recruit didn't have the stomach to do it right away, but she pulled her self together and flogged the alleged criminal. This shows that the Muslim religious source produces sharia law, making human suffering because of it. The modern Muslims will tell you it takes four witnesses to accuse of adultery. That is why Sharia police patrols in four. The scholars must teach the floggers how to do it properly - according to them. It is unclear to me if there is a proper way of flogging described in the Hadith or the Qur'an. Please let me know what is the proper way of flogging in your country! They also say it is not aimed to hurt people, but to shame them so they don't do...

Revision of a post

Hello folks, I’ve decided to try this out again, to reactivate my blogging, but I also wanted to test the themes for the blog. This one seems O.K., it looks “professional. Anyway, if you ever get to read anything from me, and do notice changes in layout, that’s because I’m gonna test which one I like. By the way, you can suggest something, so please be welcomed. I guess there is a comment section for your suggestions.
