Swearing on the Quran 2- who to believe now?

As i have said it in my recent comments, Religion and Politics don't blend. The whole episode of the sodomy case against DSAI is turning out to be a free for all topic. No holds barred! I, being a muslim myself,(a convert,maybe not in depth) but surely believe in my faith whole heartedly, correct me if i am wrong, in Islam from what i have been taught, a muslim brother should not in anyway try to insult or shame his fellow muslim brothers in public. The entire country, let alone the whole world is of knowledge of the said crime, both the alleged victim and accused is put up for public insult and shame. Think of the families of both the accused and victim, as for DSAI, he has grown up daughters and Saiful, parents, fiancee and relatives to face. In some blogs(malaysiakini.com) some have already made their judgement against the two. And to make matter worst, politicians from rival party is passing their judgement,as though the said accused is guilty. With all this, why drag religion and the Holy Quran into this shameful drama. Even the mufti of Perlis and Perak doesn't share the same common view on swearing the Quran. If this is allowed, then treat all cases involving muslims the same way, swear on the Quran. Its interesting and at times funny to watch and hear about the case, but its all because we ourselves is not in their predicament. Let the law takes its course,(if it does fairly) i believe that slowly but surely the truth will prevail. After all, sodomy in any religion is a mortal sin itself, and it takes two to tango, if the said act actually happen, then both should realize before swearing on the Quran of the consequences.
