There are different opinions regarding capital punishment. Some say that it is necessary to punish the killer by killing him, and some say that no one has the right to kill even a killer.

But in my own view, I think that capital punishment has a very important role in reducing crime rate. People become more afraid of committing a crime when they know that they will be hanged if they commit a crime; on the other hand, they will neglect the general rights and commit all kinds of vices if the punishment is simple; for instance, one will say that he will be imprisoned for some years and then he will be free!... I don't think that killing a criminal is against mercy; no, for when we remember how horrible his crime is, we will be convinced that he must get his penalty.

What do you think?? Do you agree to capital punishment??
Come on, I'm waiting for your opinions.

I believe that the criminal is a human being who has rights even if his crime is huge.And I also believe that God will punish everyone of us when the time comes ,and I must say that no one of us is perfect ,and that we all make mistakes, thus we don't have the right to interrupt God's willing. Therefore, I don't agree to capital punishment

surely I don't agree capital punishment

we are known in our Arab world that we agree capital punishment specially in the jails

As for me, I agree with this punishment because the criminal must be killed ..
that's not against mercy,No,when he is punished,his punishment despite of being cruel will clarify
his soul from his plight.When we start to ignore what Allah asked us to do,I mean apply punishment
on guilty people,crimes become more than before..
We should apply what Allah tald us to do with the criminal in case the family of the victim did not
forgive the criminal.But if they do so,that's another story...

But Yara ,what about the rights of the victim??the punishment of the criminal is one of the rights
of the victim..

that's right concerning the Hereafter but you don't mean that we should leave all criminals on this
??life only because Allah will punish them at Doomsday right
If we do so,then crimes will be widespread and life will be impossible..

Yara,
Thank you so much for expressing your opinion.

Hamdi,
I think that punishing criminals by imprisoning them is more common in the West, specially in the U.S more than in the Arab world

Thanks for committing, but we are not supposed to burn him; all we have to do is to be fair and punish him like the crime he did and burning him will be the mission of God in the Doomsday :wink:

I say that God created us and only He can end ourlives
We shouldn't end a criminal's life just because he killed a human being
because this would be a double crime ........ I think that putting him in prison 4 the rest of his life is enough as a punishment that we as humans can do........and let God punish him in the next life

HI
I totally agree to capital punishment.................... WHY? take for example a mentally ill monster who raped a baby or an animal who killed an old woman shopping at a store while robbing it .......... i think that this kind of twisted behavior runs in the blood I mean once you have this evil seed inside you you will never be able to overpower it or conquer it ............ the only solution to save the world from this type of people is by getting rid of them once and for all i.e killing them
