Islamic Concept of Crime and Punishment: A Critical Appraisal of Robert Spencer’s Views

Islam caters to people’s need for peace and serenity and therefore takes every legal measure to safeguard the society against disruptive elements. A criminal who spoils the tranquility of a peaceful society deserves to be awarded severe punishment but Islam does not deem it logical to execute punishments before eliminating the major causes for commission of crimes. The following research article describes the attitudes of Western critics of Islam--such as Robert Spencer-- towards Islamic penalties namely amputation and stoning to death. It describes Islamic concept of crime and punishment in comparison with Western concepts and attempts to prove that Islam never loses sight of moderation and inflicts no barbarities. The last part of the research article, through crime statistics of United States of America, proves that the they have disastrously failed to curb violent crimes in their society. Hence it is high time that the world recognized the effective role and deterrent value of Islamic punishments for peace and stability.

Micro-Rna268 over Expression Affects Rice Seedling Growth under Zinc Deficiency

In plants and animal, role of RNAs (miRNAs are 21-24-nucleotide-long) as wherever post-transcriptional screen appearance of gene. Response to abiotic and biotic stressor, rising evidence focuses toward the essential position of miRNAs in plant. Zn is exceptionally harmless to plants and basic heavy metal. Some substantial metals are generally harmless, (for example,ruthenium, silver, and indium), or either fundamental supplements (normally iron, cobalt, and zinc), however in larger quantity or certain structures it is very well may be poisonous. Other important metals are deeply toxic, for example, cadmium, mercury, and lead. Like in rice was necessarily programming gene under Zn stress, when miR268 in rice was significantly induced. MiR268-Overexpressing in the transgenic plant leaves contained expanded high level of melanin dialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide, and high level of Zn in their seedlings gathered when contrasted with those in wild-type plants. MiR268 goes about as a negative controller of rice''s resilience to Zn stress in revealed outcomes however ecological variances role of miRNAs modulator. With prolonged understanding of the role of miRNAs in stress it has turned out to be exceedingly clear; the miRNA-interceded technique for gene regulation turned out to be increasingly practicable and reliable to increase plant tolerance under Zn stress.As well as agronomic factors during 2018 to check out zinc deficiency and toxicity impact on rice plant by using genetic factor contributing to tolerance field trial was performed in district Vehari. Three replications in Randomized Total Complete Block Design (RCBD) with various zinc dosages and genetic factors on rice crop were spread out. Rice seedling development under zinc not stun by over expression of miR268. The miR268-overexpressing transgenic plant leave contained high amount of melanin dialdehyde , hydrogen peroxide and their Zn level high in seedlings and collected when contrast with individual plant which are in nature of wild-type. These outcomes revealed to under zinc stress micro-RNA268 go about as a negative controller of rice tolerance under stress. At last, micro -RNA assumes a necessary function in plants tolerance to stress. To overwhelming lethality guided the overexpression of gene regulation of gene expression. While the executives framework came about increase development rate of rice and agronomic application while zinc applications was used in appropriate quantity.
