I can't believe some of what I am reading. I may be an uneducated thug, but there is no reason for keeping people like this alive. If they do it to become martyrs, let the ****ers become martyrs!!
It has nothing to do with race or politics. I'm a big believer in not doing anything unless you are prepared to deal with the consequencs. If you want to murder someone for no reason, be prepared to die.
If the poor victim was a member of my family, I would want the bastard dead.
Cant agree with you more Neil! :evil:
Yes I for one go along with the above sentiments, they may not be morally correct or ethical to the majority in this liberal day & age.
I feel one of the reasons we are in such a mess at the moment in the leniency of our so called 'system'.
Ok, i'll try and explain my logic a bit.
The reason i don't think the death penalty is right, in this case, is simply because the same guys who converted these two (and the 7/7 bombers and all the other young Brits who are off fighting 'jihad' in some foreign field, or who are currently thinking of doing something daft like this) be they hate preachers in mosques or random punters setting up websites thousands of miles away, they will use the fact that these two are killed as a tool to help convert/brainwash dozens more.
They twist the facts and use them to suit their own ends.
They wont mention that these two killed a soilder in cold blood, they will simply point out that the Gov is killing muslims in prison and that Islam is under threat. If you're a barely educated herdsman in Pakistan/Nigeria or any one of countless other countries, you won't think to question 'why' these guys were in prison or to check what you're being told is true, how can you, you don't have electricty let alone know what a computer is. You'll take it at face value, after all the guy telling you this is a preacher at your mosque, or someone who has a greater amount of kowledge of the Koran than you and as such is to be admired and respected.
It's sad, but that's how the world works.
If we start killing these guys off we will breed hundreds more like them.
As most of you know i live in not so sunny Northern Ireland, growing up here when the Troubles were still going on i saw first hand how easily hate spreads and how heavy handed responses only drive more people into the arms of those who you are trying to stop.
No, i don't think hate preachers should be allowed to spew their venom left right and centre.
No, i dont like how the human rights act only seems to be used to protect the rights of criminals and people who encourage others to murder, and not to protect the rights of the victims or the innocent law abiding minority.
BUT bringing in the death sentence for stuff like this will only make the problem worse.
Ps, anyone who's been on here long enough should know, i'm about as far from a ****ing Liberal as it's possible to be!
