Hawk, I have said in the past that there is no excuse for any society, Arab or US, to kill or maime a human being, no matter what is the crime.

Life as well as any part of the human body is something that has been given to us by God. Prosthetics can today mimic the function of limbs. But it can only mimic and not create. And with life it cannot even create least mimic. No mortal human or human society can create life.

Based on the fact that since we mortals cannot create these things we have no right to maim or kill anyone. That punishment is best left to the Creator. Hence it is not for the US to criticize the Arabs on that score. Both, to me, follow uncivilized practices. So for you to believe in the death penalty but cry foul of maiming of limbs and killing because of adultery is like what I said earlier "the pot calling the kettle black". The punishment should be proportional to the crime, as you had responded earlier to my reponse, is not a logic I buy fully. It should stop at the taking of life or maiming of the body. The rights of the victims extend only to the gates of the prison not to the gates of heaven or hell. Who goes to those gates can only be determined by you know Who. (Wow, this damn liberal must be smoking something)

Now if you did not consider my earlier post as a reply then it is one of two things. Either I am unable to articulate well my viewpoint or you don't understand. I would like to think that both is the case here. And let us leave it at that.
