Believe me I can't care less whether you're a Muslim or a Christian or an Atheist.
And you can sniff anything you wish, just please respect my intelligence and don't tell me it's better to start executing people because it costs less than locking them up!!!! How about killing a couple of millions of the Egyptian population in order to overcome the overpopulation problem that's affecting the country??? Isn''t that the same logic?
The human life is far more precious than anything else, and any ideology than preaches anything else is barbarian and sick, at least by the standards of us who live in the west (and I'm not claiming you don't live in the west, since you seem to force into my mouth words I haven't said), just "sniff" what the western sentiment is towards capital punishment (and YES, the west is far more developed and futuristic than the East for the time being).

hmm
You seem to have completely missed my point. I never suggested that EXECUTING people is better than locking them up in prison or that we should execute people to solve the problem of over population. I will try to qualify my statement in way you can understand.
Criminals who do not value the lives of others do not deserve to have my tax money spent on them. I'll give you an example Paul Bernardo. This guy is one of Canada's worst Serial Killers and rapists and it is clear that he DID NOT value the lives of his victims, Now he has to spend the rest of his life in jail. Why should my tax money go twards feeding and sheltering a serial killer? do you get mey point? also regarding your point about how the west feels about the death penalty, you are correct no european country has the death penalty and neither does Canada
However some states do have the death Penalty and it is also supported Fedrally - Just look at how Timothy McVeigh was executed. There is no doubt in my mind that the US Government did the right thing by executing him. I can't wait till you tell me that it would have been better to just lock him up. If any of your loved ones were there in the Oklahoma building would you be satisfied by just having him locked up. I hope I was clear.
I know the death penaly always sparks up a debate and people feel strongly about their views. I don't anticipate you changing your views. I am just trying to explain my POV which is shared by many Americans and Canadians alike.
Cheers
