ISIS Can't Behead But Saudi's Can?

I feel sorry for anyone who can't see the difference.) - You got THAT right.

I would rather you and rkunsaw spared a little sympathy for those who suffer unjustly. Because EVERYBODY knows that other countries have different laws but that apparently doesn't stop my government and yours from diplomatically trying to pressure China to change so it would seem that our officials don't have the same attitude as you two.

Here is another example of what seems to me like senseless execution. This woman was convicted of doing nothing more than getting a drink of water from a well that she was working near with several other women.
Because she was a Christian, and the others were Muslim, it was against the law for her to drink out of the well. She was beaten, and then has been in jail for over a year, and it looks like she will now be executed for this simple mistake.
It is not like she hurt anyone, or did anything that caused any harm anywhere. She didn't steal the water, she just drank a cup of it. The death penalty seems pretty harsh to me for such a little crime, assuming that you can call drinking water a crime.

The US still has capital punishment in some of its states, so has no moral high ground in this respect.
 
JM, I think that probably most countries have some form of capital punishment, and for very brutal murderers, or other terrible crimes; I don't think that capital punishment is wrong. Some people can be rehabilitated; some can't, and our prison systems are mostly just housing prisoners, and not actively trying to rehabilitate them, in any case.
So, this discussion is not centered upon whether a country has capital punishment or not; but the difference between it being a law of the country, or a murderous act done by terrorists. There is a serious difference between the two things ! !
As far as the laws of capital punishment , it seems like each country decides what is punishable by death, as in the example of the Pakistan lady who is sentenced to death for getting a drink of water from a Muslim well. In most cases the United States is pretty lenient about capital punishment. It is only for serial killers, and people of that catagory. Many countries still execute people for being homosexuals; we certainly do not do that here in America.
You are entitled to your opinion about both God and America; but it does not need to be pushed into people's faces here, in your usual form of America-bashing.
We are a forum from many different countries here; and there is no need of anyone putting down someone else's country.
 
What ISIS is doing is not capital punishment as the world understands the term - it is slaughter, pure and simple and used as an instrument of terror. They are barbarians but they are also quite clever. They know exactly what they are doing and why. Their cause and their methods are evil and cannot be considered to be serving the god that they claim to worship. I would go as far as to say that every time they utter the Arabic words for "God is great" and then proceed to murder they are committing both blasphemy and heresy.
 
As an aside; 140 out of 198 countries have abolished capital punishment.

However, IMO, countries are entitled to their own justice system, as agreed by their own people, so does not come into this discussion.

ISIS is not a country, and does not have a justice system; IMO it uses beheading as propaganda; no justice at all.
I don't think that things will improve until those opposed start using their own propaganda, and while countries like Turkey, Iraq, and Syria are all using their own agendas, and can hardly talk to each other, I think this could be a long and very difficult struggle; for hearts and minds.

And still I see no sorrow for a man who wants peace and democracy but is being beheaded.

I've been learning a lot lately about foreign affairs and foreign relations and foreign manipulation. Ignoring the mainstream media has helped immensely in that regard. And out of all of the reading that I do HFL, I've come to see that America seems to be on the forefront of a multitude of bad acts. And in far too many instances it seems like your administration trots out the justification of peace, freedom and democracy. Ha! And yet when you have an example here of one man who espouses those very things, American sentiment here seems to be a level of disinterest and that is terribly sad. He will die in a way that your government, your country and the world has decried as evil and inhuman .... but oh well? My guess is that the reason no one cares is that he is Muslim whereas the journalists were white and not Muslim. Am I wrong? Because that's the way it looks.

And if you want to call reporting facts bashing, well so be it. But facts are facts and truth is truth and you can't escape them. Would you like to hear what the truth is behind the murderous rampage of Pol Pot in Cambodia in the 70's?
