What punishment does the Muslim law allow for murder?

Question

Particularly what punishment might a devout Muslim expect to receive for murdering say thousands of Americans (ie: the terrorists attack on 9/11)

Answer 1

the punishment of murder in Islamic low. is death penalty.
the problem with the terrorists is they consider themselves in war against western society as that society hurts Islamic world generally. they think in the way of revenge or payback they don't think they are killing civilians. that is their point of view.
but as I said in the beginning the Islamic law is generally has strong penalties even than any known law to fight crime

Answer 2

A devout Muslim does not commit murder, period. Murder is a grave sin in Islam. Killing unjustly one soul is like killing entire mankind. As for 9/11 that was a massive crime and unjust, with a massive punishment.

Answer 3

When people and nations live in darkness, they lose sense of direction. In an information age, knowledge–driven global culture of reason, ignorance is no longer a requisite to learn from the living history. The previous Empires knew their geography and limits, but the newly articulated American Empire in its infancy, is challenging to the limits of the Laws of God and appears obsessed with “fear” of being replaced by the new emerging nations of Asia and South America. Bush invoked the “War on Islam”, as a dictum of power, not reason and wisdom, to camouflage the prospective future with acts of barbarity and to dispel the notion of accountability in global affairs. Historically, people and nations pursuing this path of behavior have ended up in self-defeat and self-destruction.

The 9/11 attacks and religious doctrines have no common ground. Hourly paid intellectuals turned guardian of approved truth, allege that Islam breeds terrorism. The Western mass media complements the scientifically discovered notion to poison the public perceptions and source of judgments against the Arabs and Muslims. The Neo-Conservatives helped to rob the humanity of its human heritage. The perception of ‘radical Islam’ was invented and enhanced by the ‘fear’ of terrorism and as a precursor to attack Muslims.

Answer 6

Those "devout" (I believe you mean fundamentalist) Muslims believe they're going to get 72 virgins in heaven.

Answer 7

I believe they think that was a good murder, and they will go to heaven and receive sex from numerous virgins. However, for all other murders, they believe in equal retribution. So, legally,if one of your family members was killed in those bombings, you could kill one of the family members of one of the bombers.

Answer 8

The regular punishment.....beheading.

Answer 9
