This statement “capital punishment is brutal decision and should be abolished.” Contradicts in many ways. In my opinion, this thing vary from case to case, from society to society and from country to country. The term Capital punishment is used for the death penalty ordered by a legal system that’s court on our country and QAZI in Arab countries. There are many examples which support this statement and there are also a lot of examples after which people don’t accede with this statement.
In Islam capital Punishment itself doesn’t exist according to sharia, but in some Islamic countries it is practiced against the crimes like murder and rape (called ZINA according to Islam). In most legal system of western countries, convicts with multiple acute crimes, mass murderers, and serial rapists are assigned with capital punishment.
What I think is, capital punishment itself isn’t brutal, in fact they’ve introduced new methods to death penalty, but the thing that is brutal are its results. If a person is the only provider to its family i-e. Wife children. And due to some acute crime he’s assigned death penalty. After his death, his whole family will rot here in this world, wife without husband as widow and children without their father as orphans.
There is a most renowned gang named as CHOTU gang, which was involved in murder, rape, kidnapping and many other criminal activities. The leader of CHOTU gang, Ghulam Rasool is accused of 276 criminal charges including murder of eight and kidnapping of sixteen law enforcement personnel.
Do you think people like Ghulam Rasool should be given another chance to live in this world? Death penalty is the only worse punishment which can be assigned to people like Ghulam Rasool. And I as habitat of this world think that until and unless these convict exist on this planet capital punishment shouldn’t be abolished.
