Islamic terrorists want to die!

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

I was reading the world section of the Repository and anyone remembers how Dennis Miller said on his CNBC show that "we should just kill all Middle Eastern people and get the war on terrorism done and over with!"? (I must be careful here...three Massillon natives have proven they can hurt me over Miller's remarks).

Step #1 has come up. Khalid Sheik Mohammed, one of many Islamic terrorists responsible for the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks (the bloodiest ever on U.S. soil) has said that he wants to be executed for martyrdom. Four others are also hoping to be assessed execution out of martyrdom.

It's no secret these radicals want this. But should they be given their request upon conviction or should they spend the rest of their wasted lives in prison?

Your thoughts?

[heliogunner]

It should be a slow very painful death. I would be more than happy to do it myself

The death penalty is wrong in ANY circumstance.

The death penalty is wrong in ANY circumstance.

Do you have children? Let me know. I'll give you a scenario and then ask you to answer the death penalty question again.

[PPF-TigerFan]

As the Good Book says, an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth.

Let the punishment fit the crime.

Here's a thought, put him in a Plane, tied up of course, put it on Auto-pilot on a course headed for a large city's building in his home country.

I do - and there is no circumstance in which you can convince me that the state has the right to take life.
Are you pro-life? If so, you may need to examine your philisophical consistancy.

Doesn't this make us terrorists like them?

Give them what they want albeit in a more humane way than they provided their victims. It would save us taxpayers some money.

What does the good book say about forgiveness?

So you are saying that if someone tortured and took the life of one of your children, then you feel that they should continue to exist on this earth??? In the situation I just stated, they have taken the life of a promising individual that has done nothing wrong and ended it. How on earth can you say that you hope they live??? I would hope that the authorities couldn't catch them before me, so that I could handle it on my own. I have a newborn son and couldn't stomach the possiblity of someone harming him, and God hlep them if they did!!!!

Look up the situation of Jessica Lundsford. Then get back to me. My philosophical consistency? Let's see. An innocent unborn child with no decision-making ability deserves to live. A scum-sucking child molester doesn't. How's that for consistency? God, you people make me sick, I swear.

I love you CarlE. You are nothing if not passionate!

No where does it say that forgiveness is easy. Life is either sacred, or it is not. I believe that ALL life is sacred. Unfortunately, this ethic doesn't offer wiggle room whether the life is an unborn child or a child molester.

[TigerCoach]

I say put an IV in his arm that will keep him alert and not pass out. Then, get a tank of pirranhas to start eating at his flesh from the toe's up! :unclesam:

[02teleprograd]

I vote for what they did in the green mile.. Just don't put water on the top of his head.

Admin may want to lock this thread, it may start into a flame war.:bomb:

I like your thinking!!!

[Smitty]

What does the good book say about forgiveness?

This isn't about forgiveness; it's about law.

And Jesus said: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars, and render unto God that which is Gods."

Amongst Gods commandments to us: follow the laws as set by our own government in order to maintain a civilized society.

IF not for the establishment and enforcement of laws, and punishment for violating those laws, we'd be no greater than the animals of the forest.

[PPF-TigerFan]

What does the good book say about forgiveness?

The good book says we are to forgive 70x7 for those who ask. It also says God forgives us when we ask and that He forgives us unconditionally.
Don't recall this Khalid Sheik Mohammed asking for our forgiveness.

But as Smitty has stated this is about the Law.

[TigerCoach]

If Jesus was excecuted for his "crimes", then it's good enough for the rest of us.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

These Islamic radicals took the life of over nearly 3,000 people who did nothing to them. To borrow a quote from Dennis Miller: "they have to go. You can't get along with us, so we can't get along with you. You have to go."

If they want to get executed, grant them their wish because they are bound to lose in federal trial anyway when everything is said and done.

these guys have not asked for forgiveness...this is something they are proud of...they want the martyerdom..and they want the 72 virgins (boy, are they going to be surprised on that one)...

i say we go back to the medieval days...old "drawing and quartering"...tie them up spread-eagle...out in the hot sun...and let the animals have their way with them...

[Smitty]

...they want the martyerdom, and they want the 72 virgins (boy, are they going to be surprised on that one)....

I say give 'em Clay Aiken.


(OK, I stole THAT line from Jeff Durham & Achmed the Dead Terrorist).

But wrap them in bacon first.

[inyourhonor2010]

On the bacon remark.
Doing that would make us no better than them.
In the Constitution, Amendment 8 Cruel and Unusual Punishment is outlawed.
So first of all, the whole bacon idea is cruel because of a Muslim (not mooslim) and their belieft against pork. And then it's pretty unusual because, well you picture it. No matter what these people have done they are still being tried in a United States court. So these people still have rights. Don't try to say they don't because of something they've done. Trying to say that is in itself tearing apart the very fabric of what this nation is about and what makes us different from the military dictatorships of the past and the present.
Just remember what this flag really means. :usflag:

I'm not 1000% sure...but I am 999.999999% sure that Amemndment 8 of the US constitution only applies to US citizens. Not Crazy ass muslims from some goofy ass place, that believe that death will give them 72 virgins in the afterlife.

By the way, they are not being tried in a US court at all. DO us all a favor and read a newspaper every once and again before posting.

[inyourhonor2010]

How is a United States Military Tribunal not a US court?
