Just out of curiosity Calanen do you support the reintroduction of the death penalty for those found guilty of committing terrorism?

Or torture by intelligence services to extract information in terrorist cases that could prevent further terrorist attacks?

I support the death penalty for terrorist attacks. It was in the Commonwealth Act, still, for treason until 2002. And that includes the IRA or anyone else, white supremacists, whoever.

I don't support torture in any form. I support people being placed under *pressure* in interrogation, but that's it. Torture is not within our repertoire.

helian,

Abu, that sentiment is irreconcilable with Australian values and unworthy of an Australian.


There are many many Australians who support capital/physical punishments for a wide variety of crimes, are you suggesting all of them are also promoting something irreconcilable with Australian values or that they are unworthy of being Australians? Some of them also lobby for them to be implemented here. I do nothing of the kind. I merely provided an argument that not everyone thinks community service or fines or a caution are sufficient deterrents for thieves.

I think you're reacting a little strongly here, please re-read my statements.

Some light reading for you:

Capital punishment still has majority support in Australia
Australians expect the Bali bombers to be executed (Wasn't too un-Australian then was it? In fact it was un-Australian to say otherwise)
Facebook group dedicated to reinstating capital punishment in Australia
AFP cooperates in cases leading to application of capital punishment

I think the severing of a limb for theft is an unacceptable brutality as a form of punishment in a modern society.

I don't agree with capital punishment, but I can see the difference between theft and murder.

Maybe a majority of Australians do truly support capital punishment, maybe like the Schappele Corby fiasco, its emotions born of a mob mentality or maybe, as with Americans in the US claiming to be practising Christians, they agree with it because they think they should. If all Americans who claimed to be practising Christians, were in fact practising Christians, then those 3/4 empty churches across the US would be full and there probably wouldn't be enough churches in the US to accommodate them.

Yes, they're seperated by about the same degree as amputating a hand compared to decapitating, strangulation with a rope, injecting with lethal poisons or frying with high electric currents. Agreed.

Either way, nowhere in any of my posts did I even remotely hint at supporting implementing it. I merely contrasted it with those who implement capital punishment in our 'friendly' allied countries, or who call for implementing it here in Australia, neither of whom I think you'd use the statements you used for me.

Ok, so even if I did support amputations for theft (which I certainly am not lobbying or calling for), then you'd be supporting a much stronger form of punishment (ie. the ultimate punishment, taking one's very life from them). I don't think it has anything to do with amputation being any more barbaric, because it's simply not more barbaric than execution, it's more about your (all of Western society's in fact) light view of theft.

They're separated by the gravity of the crime.

But anyway, if you don't include yourself in the number who call it justice as opposed to barbarity, then... all good.

...
IS THIS FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
OR INCITEMENT TO SEDITION?
OR INCITEMENT TO MURDER?
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO THESE PEOPLE, IF ANYTHING?



Read their placards...

“Slay those who insult Islam”
“Behead those who insult Islam”
“Massacre those who insult Islam”
“Butcher those who mock Islam”
“Europe you will pay, demolition is on its way”
“Europe you will pay, extermination is on its way”
“Exterminate those who slander Islam”
“Europe is the cancer, Islam is the answer”
“Islam will dominate the world”
“Freedom go to hell”
“Europe take some lessons from 9/11”
“Be prepared for the real Holocaust”
“BBC = British Blasphemic Crusaders”



Is this freedom of speech?







abu,

If such a display [against ISLAMIC rule] occurred in a Sharia jurisdiction, or an ISLAMIC country, what would be the result?
....[ah, e.g. IRAN of recent days.]


So abu, should we punish those moslems in the UK [image above], with the same penalties which ISLAM dictates for such occasions?

And wouldn't such a punishment be just?

I think that, Yes, it would.

Should we [non-moslems] slay such people, 'without mercy'?

This not me saying this, this is me, requiring that moslems, should be judged and punished according to their own law regarding fomenting civil disturbance and sedition.




The punishment spoken of in the Koran, for sedition against ISLAMIC regimes, is execution (without mercy).....

"Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition in the City, desist not, We shall certainly stir thee up against them: Then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any length of time:
They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy)."

Koran 33:60,61i
+++++++++







Proverbs 22:24
Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25  Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

As usual Yadda, you're unable to actually follow the program, and instead diverge off into some holy biblical apocalyptic rant (with oddly placed links, images and spacing to boot).

Let me try to steer you back onto the path a little. We're discussing what kinds of punishments are barbaric or excessive, not what Muslims in some European country (supposedly) painted onto placards, after all, remember the bombed out bus with the "Islam is peace" sign? We both know that the 'jihadwatch' nuts are quite creative digital artists/enhancers.

Sprint,

You have a book which tells you to execute the one who strays from the fold, the only difference is, you claim to believe in your book but completely disobey and mock it's contents. We actually believe in ours.

Yes we know all the usual crap about "We don't follow the OT anymore", it just means you're a pack of hypocrites, and also that you recognise at least at some point it was a holy and divinely commanded act.

Quote:

Then your religion is based on a dreadful and baseless ideology.

What can be said about that which is based on something which is itself baseless?
