I agree that everyone should live in a society where they can be free and enjoy a good quality of life that is wholesome and good, but we must never accept that human suffering caused by another individual is acceptable to God. He is the only one to administer discipline except, of course, when we train our children or those appointed to maintain law and order in a democratic land, which in turn doesn’t torture, beat or maim our fellow brothers and sisters.
The Bible and the Qur’an are the rulebooks of life (working manuals for humans). Just as a washing machine requires an instruction manual, we also must consult these manuals regularly to keep us functioning properly.
However, neither book condones the use of kidnapping, slavery or violence against those who can’t defend themselves or who are weaker than the one asserting power. This isn’t God’s arrangement; rather, this is how man has interpreted things for his own gain.
