murdering scum

Lawful? Possibly. Immoral? Definitely.

Anyone else sickened by this story?

[sp1814]

Exactly.

Anyone who supports capital punishment should read that story very carefully, because they are no better than the jeering crowd who stood by and watched it happen.

Absolutely horrific.

Can you imagine it? I would rather not.

[Doc.Spock.1]

Thats muslims for you.

Bring back the death penalty I say.

Or, SP1814, would you sooner let them go to kill again.

[Doc.Spock.1]

Cant really compare a bunch of fanatics with a considered judgement via a legal system.

And to think, some idiots want aspects of sh1tira law here,

[funnygirl]

Sad, it reminds me of the story of the girl hanged for the same thing a few years back.

There was a tv prog devoted to it and they got out a big crane. Really sad!

[jake-the-peg]

Not even lawfull under sharia law

You should have heard the witness on Radio 4 this morning - truely horrifying.

Apparently even the crowd were saying "This is wrong"

But the guys doing it were armed and that was that.

A lynching - nothing more nothing less

No more islam than stringing up blacks in the deep south of the US was Christianity

[sp1814]

Doc.Spock1

Do you really think the only alternative to the death penalty is to release convicted killers back into the community???

[jake-the-peg]

Actually you can listen to the report again here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/listen_again/de fault.stm

The witnesses voice is spoken by an actor for his safety

But don't if you're easily upset

[jno]

repulsive. But as jake says, it's not 'that's Muslims for you'. It's 'that's gun law for you'.

[Doc.Spock.1]

There have been convicted killers who killed again after being released.

String 'em up and they don't re-offend.


Simple.

[sandmaster]

Easy to blame Muslims as a whole. Shariah law is outdated but it's not long ago Christians were burning witches. I am distressed thinking what this girl went through but we need to support the better educated and moderate muslims who no doubt will eventually change things. Mob rule can get out of hand anywhere.

[Doc.Spock.1]

Hi SP 1814, I don't understand you. What's your alternatives ??

[Sgt.Rock]

A good reason for not wanting to embrace Islam.

[ludwig]

Sickening and disturbing, and I can remember a few people on here defending the same 'lynch mob' mentality when it wanted to jail a woman for calling a teddy bear Mohammed.

[DarkMajes71c]

hmm and some people want to introduce Sharia law in the uk... im so glad that they are not in power!
it is a shame that they do not put convicted prisoners into forced labour instead of giving them tons of niceties as they do over here though.

Why would over 1000 people turn up to watch??? It's beyond belief to me. Poor girl, poor family. So very very sad.

[Oneeyedvic]

Why would over 1000 people turn up to watch??? It's beyond belief to me.

Think about how many people rubberneck at a car accident or viewed the Saddam Hussein hanging etc.

A lot of people in this country would do exactly the same (in my opinion)

[debbz1969]

Rubber necking an accident is totally different. You're passing anyway, you don't go out of your way, sit in motorway traffic for 3 hours in the hope of catching a glimpse of something horrific. These people have actually made the effort of turning up at this sickening scene. Don't they have cinemas?

[northboy]

darkmajes71c-could not agree more.
it is a pity that we do not have a law like that over here.
the way this country is going now,,i could think of a few people who i would gladly stone to death.
capital punishment,the birch,hanging,smacking children,the cane.BRING IT ALL BACK
i am sure a few of you would agree with me(or maybe not)that this country would be a better and safer place to live in.
THE MAJORITY OF PLACES YOU GO THESE DAYS,YOU HAVE TO LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER...
