Punishment should be in keeping with the believer's holy book.

"An eye for an eye" my ass.

Killing enemy combatants in a field of battle is different from ambushing what appears to be an unarmed serviceman away from a battle zone. There is no honor in that.

We were talking about this just a while ago. It's past time for Muslims to stand up as a collective and denounce this violence. Take away the "honor", and just maybe the perps will stop this crap.

Melissa, I could not agree more. We need brave Muslims to speak out more.

No, no....not an eye for an eye...but the family's choice. They can either determine that he will face the death penalty, pay retribution to the family or the family can forgive him. If they choose death, then it is carried out.

At the time of death, he is told he will not die a Muslim. The inmam asks him to choose his faith (or lack thereof) as he is no longer a Muslim and is cast to eternal hell.
