MISUSE OF SEX WRECK SPIRITUAL IDEALS

I refer to the letter by Mariam Mokhtar," Don't drive them underground ",(nst 31 December)

I am not writing to disagree or agree with the writer's opinion, that the religious department edict is a blatant abuse of human rights of the individual, as I believe that everyone has the human rights to form his or her own opinion
What I failed to understand is that, on the one hand, the writer concluded that the best weapon is education and information, and on the other, the ABC approach which is widely used worldwide for preventing HIV infection according to her is infallible .I think if the approach is properly, and efficiently managed or organized is in itself educational and informative.
In the first place the religious department's edict is only for Muslim couples intending to get married. It is I presume a three prong approach to deter Muslims from engaging in free sex with different partners before marriage , second to prevent newborns from contacting the disease , and third to educate and remind Muslims of their religious obligations,
All Muslims should understand that the environmental and social influence which most frequently wreck our spiritual ideals have to do with SEX and especially with its MISUSE . Thus all Muslims from a very young age must abide by the extortion of the Holy Koran, which forbids Muslims from engaging in free sex before one is legally married
I do not wish to delve further on the subject as it is clearly stated in Surah Al Nur in thye Holy Koran for all Muslims to read and abide.
