ISLAM prescribes barbaric punishments - Public stoning to death, public beheadings, public floggings ..?

You're absolutely right. Send all of them to the United States of America, which prescribes electrocution, gassing, hanging, injection with lethal drugs and execution by firing squad. The USA also permits the public (through the camera lens of the media) to witness these events.\n\nWhat do I feel? You've really got to ask?

They are either scared they will be punished by same people!... or the so-called moderate Muslims do actually endorse the murder done in the name of their religion.\n\nIslam actually translates as submission, it is an uncompromising & harsh form of population control, closet thing to Star Treks "The Borg"... "YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED" is their mission statement...Um! well, actually no thank you! and no thank you to the Christians who are competing to be runner-up borg alikes.

I too have studied the Islamic faith and I must say some of it is very good indeed honesty dont eat before your neighbour to takes ones life is to take the life of all mankindetc. But pissing in your clothes etc is very very funny. Killing the infidel unless he pays you well that is laughable A muslims lets you live because you give him money . Whoops you leave the islamic following and you can be killed and the Muslim that does it  cannot be punished.

Calling the punishment severe is based on modern westernized ideals.  Hanging seems a lot more humane than burying someone up to thier neck (while they are alive) and then throwing stones at thier heads until they die, or worse.  The western world's veiw of harsh punishment has nothing on the ways that Arab countried have traditionally killed thier citizens. Hanging probably seems like they are being rewarded with a quick death, so I doubt that it would effect the actions of insurgents/ terrorists.  Westerners don't have the stomach to do things that would get the bad guy's attention.

I've included links to the Criminal Code Act and to one state's Islamic Shari'ah Penal Code.  These should help get you started.

it is rather disgusting and I believe that it goes to show that Islam is a religon of evil and should be outlawed.\nAnything that spews hatred should be outlawed. Its not communism in any way. As murder and segregation is outlawed because its obviously acts of hatred; so should Islam.

I think people convicted of raping and killing children should be flogged in public ( THE FIRST TIME, that would cut down on repeat offenders ).

Religious fanaticism.  More people have been viciously slaughtered in the name of a merciful God than have died of any other cause throughout history.

Please keep in mind that what some criminals do to their victims is much worse than the death penalty.  Many victims who were tortured and raped repeatedly for years while being held captive in makeshift dungeons would have welcomed a swift death rather than what they experienced.  Many people think that the death penalty is too good for some of those criminals.  They would prefer subjecting them to the same torture they perpetrated on their victims.  But doing that would be inhumane, and, in essence, they would be lowering themselves to the level of the criminals.  So, they try to show some compassion by providing them with a more humane penalty--a quick death rather than a slow one involving torture.  Although I'm not a religious person, I think it's interesting that the Bible recommends an eye for an eye.  Maybe that's why church and state are separate.  If the church were running the justice system, I fear penalties would become worse than the crimes.  If you don't think so, look at the Middle East where  women are stoned to death for committing adultery or having sex out of wedlock.  So, when you look at the death penalty from that perspective, it doesn't seem so bad--well, unless you're the one on death row, I guess.  My opinion is that the people justly receiving the death penalty probably deserve worse, and should consider themselves fortunate.  \n\nYes, my country, USA, has the death penalty (in many states).\n\nYes. In my opionion, Sadam Hussein deserves what he got (and worse).

Christianity, Islam, and many other religions condone self flagellation. I have seen Islamic men beating their backs with chains, and Christian ones with whips.

Actually some muslim newspaper is going to publish cartoons about holocaust and exuse with freedom of speech. Still I think these are too differnt things. People had died during holocaust, and Mohammed is just a religios figure. Even more, poeple actually die in his name....

You can see all the bad fruits, sufferings that this method of teachings caused to ppl, so why would you want to have such teaching?  I myself I didn't attend Islamic school,but I suffered from the rules , too much rules. everything fun is banned in Islam.  like songs, music...etc. even some said drawings to creatures with souls is banned, chess is banned. I really felt bad because of these unfair rules, which neglect my hobbies and talents.  I really loved drawing, but one opinion of clerics drilled my talent.  my drawings love fall apart.  never do such crime toward your sons and daughters.

Sure here it is:\n\n"...4.89 They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and KILL THEM wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper..."\n\nIslam although started as benign (minority phase) became more oppressive as it gained power and rule over people (majority rule phase). This one here cancels out the others where execution of "force" is shunned (it's very hard to execute force when you're handful).\n\nHowever, Koran asks us to kill the ones who were once Muslims but now they are not. It's moderate and forgiving to those "of the book" (meaning christians and jews) but unforgiving to the ones who turn from the religion. \n\nIt's understandable for Christians and jews are "others" who see it from outside, whereas once-muslims know about the inside deal. \n\nA little bit too dangerous to warrant death penalty. Well, just remember Brutus.
