"Places where these so called authorities or law enforcers allow this type of corruption to exist."

Salams,Abuayisha and Martha JazakAllah Khieran for your replies.Martha: says no matter how corrupt others are we should try to follow the laws,(I agree)also I would like to add a senario: if you were someone who has had threats on your and your families life, you have a right to protect yourself,fist to a fist sword for a sword gun for a gun.Im not advocating anything that is illegal but, im saying i understand personal experience that when you are having people shooting at you trying to kill you and the law says you cant legally own a fire arm because you were a convicted felon(notice were) this law is irrelevent(to me) when you must protect yourself your family and your property again im not advocating anything illegal this is just how I see it, to me there are two sides of this coin (in some cases )these laws have flaws and you have to use your own judgement the Quran says that we should'nt be the agressers.Nor in so many words we should'nt be no punk either.The Qur'an says we have a right to protect ourselves.Abuayisha do you know there are communities where our brothers dont allow the drugs to be sold, and they help spread Islam in these communities and they become enimes of the drug dealers and gangs and also the authorities because they dont involve them.Any group that spead ideals that they deem un American/anti government are targets of law enforcement they send people to spy on us possing as Muslims,Al-Qur'an Surah 49 ayah 12 says:O believers!Avoid immoderate suspicion,for,in some cases,suspicion is a sin.Do not spy on one another,nor backbite one another(to say something about another behind oness back that if one hears it,dislikes it). Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Surely, you would abhor it.Fear Allah;for Allah is the Accepter of repentance,Merciful.We as Muslims have a duty to convey the message.May Allah accept my intentions. May Allah please have Mercy on us.May Allah Bless us.   

I think its best we wish this person the best wishes, and make dua for him and ourselves, brother akheAbu, sorry if i sounded harsh, nothing was aimed at the brother who passed away, insallah his in a better place now, i just think we should not break the law regardless of the situation we are in, unless our land, honour and livelyhood is being played with or under threat.

Salams Akhe,
Nice story:) You obviously will keep many good memories of him. You know, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what anyone says about him, he was your friend :)
Odd world really. There is little justice. Innocent people can be found guilty, guilty people can go free. Guess thats life. BUt we DO fight emotionally and physically sometimes for our friends regardless,and that is commendable.
Have a good day bro :)

Brother Akhe,
Lol, bless you for your comments. You are right, I liked that :)
