Iraq to reinstate death penalty

[bloodhound]

bad idea?

 

I wonder what the british government had to say about that. I thought they had at least a say in what goes on iraq. Many british citizens are feeling that USA is just using the british support for their political purposes and not listening to any of the suggestions/worries.

Iraq is not "our country".

I haven't heard that story, I assumed that the death penalty was still in force in Iraq. I would have found it quite funny if Iraq had not installed the death penalty, imagine Bush's re-election campaign speech 'Not only have we ensured a democratic Iraq free from tyranny, it now actually protects more human rights than the US of A'.

Are you saying that we're not?

C'mon man, everybody needs a scapegoat

Almost every muslim country has the death penalty, it's part of their culture.

[bloodhound]

ah blike , ur logic is flawed. your statement is a contradiction on itself. if u just said

"Every muslim country has the death penalty, it's part of their culture" it would be fine

 

but you added "Almost"

 

 

 

[edit]and you dont think US didnt encourage Iraq to reinstate it?[/edit]

[budullewraagh]

of course it is the united states that caused this. it's not "reinstating" but rather it's "instating"

[Sayonara]

ah blike ' date=' ur logic is flawed. your statement is a contradiction on itself. if u just said

"Every muslim country has the death penalty, it's part of their culture" it would be fine[/quote']

I don't see how acknowledging the regional variations in a culture is a logical flaw.

[bloodhound]

when blike said its part of their culture, he implied every muslim country has death penalty. but the almost bit at the beginning of the statement implies a counterexample

[Sayonara]

"The culture of a Muslim country" is not equal to "Muslim culture".

[bloodhound]

blike talks about "their culture" and he means muslims. if its part of every muslim culture then it must also be a part of every muslim country. but its not.

[blike]

There's always caveats. That doesn't mean it's not a part of their culture.

 

The US may have had an influence, but I doubt it. Why do we care?

 

it's not "reinstating" but rather it's "instating"

 

Didn't Iraq have the death penalty under Saddam?

[YT2095]

let them carry on!!!!, you`ve got sucide bombers and the death penalty, with any luck evolution will sort them out )

 

hopefully then we`ll be left with a Muslim ideal that has no plans to conquer the planet as dictated by the Otomans, namely ibrahiem and his best mate of 26 years, blah blah blah.

 

MAYBE one day islam WILL mean peace, but until then, keep them all at arms length!

 

 

that`s my 2 Euros worth.

[Sayonara]

Does that include the Islamic/Muslim citizens of Western countries?

[YT2095]

Geographical locoation is of no importance, it`s what is in their hearts and minds that counts. the bad ones can go hell for me!

 

the word "Islam" is supposed to mean "Peace". then you have islamic extremists, so wouldn`t that imply "Extremely peacefull"?

 

HELL NO! it means lets kill as many people as we can WHILE WE CAN, and who cares if we happen to kill our own in the process! naah man, they`re better off dead, the lot of them, just a damn pity they have to take innocents with them, Islamic or not (

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

naah man, they`re better off dead, the lot of them, just a damn pity they have to take innocents with them, Islamic or not (

Wait a minute... who's talking here, the extremists or you? Are you saying all of the lot should go?

[YT2095]

I`m talking.

 

about the ones that think it`s a good idea to blow things up to prove a point, basicly we`re all much better off without them!

[Misodoctakleidi]

So you propose collective punishment?

 

Perhaps all christians should be killed for the crusades or the inquisitions or the witchhunts?
