I think we should not intervene into a country’s personal matters. In this respect US is more to blame (capital punishment still not abolished there and its not a kingdom, its a democracy and a world super-power). But i feel there is no harm if they think it’s best for them. As for deporting, i think its a bad idea because the crime was committed in that country so trial should take place there.

We must follow what is written in the Quran. So please stop using internet and watching TV and using automobiles. Instead use pigeon mail and ride camels and donkeys.

Has anything good ever come out of that Godforsaken country? Ever heard of any white guy being beheaded or mutilated in anyway

It’s very instrumental to enforce Islamic punishments in Islamic countries. If we have a glance at General Zia’s era, Islamic laws were enforced along with strict punishments according to Shariah. It helped a lot in curbing social evils and malicious sins. The number of crime cases related to murder, snatching, breaking into houses reduced down close to 1%. The strict measures can save our society and will lesson for others who intent to commit crime.

So what is your point?
One does what is necessary to survive.
Do you think a sweeper enjoys sweeping the floor, or a janitor loves cleaning your toilets???

Honestly, it raises big doubts about the understanding of the writer of this article.

69 beheadings per year (of criminals) = saving thousands of killings / rapes / drug impact on society…it worth doing it..

Do you know how many rapes (without consent) per hour happening in USA…….yeh….but you are not the only one who knows…whole world knows it…

What happened to Ajmal Pahari in Khi, after killing 100s ……how come a judicial system can free such person….without consent from victims families….
…..
****End***

While I am not Muslim, isn’t it simple logic that methods of execution and even other punishments, as prescribed, have been prescribed as per the conditions prevalent and methods and facilities available at the time they were prescribed? Methods like lethal injection or electrocution wouldn’t have been around centuries ago and hence should they not be looked into as time moves on and technologies progress – if humans didn’t progress in technology and infrastructure terms, we would all still be living in caves and hunting and gathering our food? Even these methods may be outdated years down the line and insisting that we stick to them wouldn’t make sense, would it?
