The stoning system serves another very important side which you're not seeing. Stoning serves are a reminder and as a lesson for those who watch which in turn will serve to deter the masses from committing or even thinking about crime. Can you imagine what lesson would be learned by the masses if they only heard on TV that so and so criminal had been executed painlessly using lethal injection in some isolated lab with no one to witness?? There would be absolutely no connection or no lesson learned with this method.
I sooo disagree with EVERYTHING you are saying. CP does not in any way deter criminals otherwise they would be no crime. Most crimes that would qualify for CP are not premedidated which would makes the deterent issue null and void. Lethal injection is in no way painless. infact many states in the US have banned the use of the one of the chemicals in the 3 syringe cocktail,From being used to euthinise animals due to the pain it causes. So if it causes pain in animals just imagine the pain it could cause on humans.
You're looking into a very small box in your head. You have to think out of that box in order to comprehend the bigger picture. A good start would be to really envision YOUR OWN sister or daughter getting raped and then killed in the most heinous way. Then tell me if YOU want to have mercy on that criminal. If you still insist on your idea, then you are truly delusional, and our efforts on this topic are futile.
My beielfs in the DP would not change if myself or any of my friends were raped, murderd. I don't belive in the old eye for an eye adige. You can punish an offender by jailing them for life and make sure they never get out. If that makes me delusional then so be it.
1. Just compare the crime rate of US or UK with Saudi and you will the answer.
2. In any Society only very small % of the those commit rape or murder actually get convicted.
3. Around 50% of the Rapists and Murderers are repeat offenders. Which means if they come back to the Society they will commit yet another Crime.
So it depends who we wan to protect, the small % of people from Rapists and Murders who got convicted or other many many innocent Citizens?
Islamic Sharia saves innocent Citizen and gives exemplary punishment to the those very few offenders so that it serves as a deterrent to others.
But, there might be people like you whp might want to forgive the offender, then that option is also there. But, it is not imposed by someone else on the Victims Family. But, a choice given to the Victims family.
