(Topic: Sharia Law punishment and death sentence under it.)
Skillganon: ... but ultimately punishment is carried out because it is commanded so.
Janissary: Yes, and need there be any other reason? Is not being commanded by God sufficient reason?
[By-Stander] - (Interrupts telling them that perhaps their interpretation could be wrong and that common sense could tell them that such harsh punishments/death sentense under Sharia Law aren't necessary.)
Janissary: Well, of course I'll examine scripture. But once it is clear what God commands, what reason can there (from a religious perspective) be not to obey?
