The western press seems to enjoy demonising Muslims at the moment and having a good attempt at belittling Islamic practices.
We in the west have (rightly) condemned Saddam Hussein for genocide, the mass murder of people.
I assume we find this so wrong because we believe life should be respected and that no one has, or should have, the authority to take the life of another.
This report, therefore, concerns me.
Indeed, in the UK, this is totally against the law.
Why then are Western Governments supporting and encouraging death to be repaid by death?
Is not one crime being repaid with another here?

Well said rob… I have posted a similar sentiment on my Blog!
Completely agree with you. Surely by executing Saddam Hussein they have brought themselves down to his level. If two wrongs don’t make a right then how can this execution be right. I believe that you can not call the death penalty justice, who are we to be the judge.
