i am Muslim and i respect Muslim laws, however there is no obligation in islam for anybody to kill.
i am generally against. why? answer is very simple, we are just human beings, we all make mistakes, and most of the time we will not be able to get 100 % certainty about any case. the point is that by agreeing for killing one we are becoming murderers by ourselves.
you may not agree with me, but it's my feeling and my thoughts, i've been thinking about this subject for yrs.
however i don't think it's fair that country should pay the cost of life for the person who is a murderer or raper (i mean keeping him in jail).

You don't have to sympathize with criminals or want them to avoid a terrible punishment to ask if the death penalty prevents or even reduces crime and to think about the risks of executing innocent people. Here is some of what has happened in the US, sources below.
126 people on death rows have been released with proof that they were wrongfully convicted. DNA is available in less than 10% of all homicides and isn’t a guarantee we won’t execute innocent people.
The death penalty doesn't prevent others from committing murder. No reputable study shows the death penalty to be a deterrent. To be a deterrent a punishment must be sure and swift. The death penalty is neither. Homicide rates are higher in states and regions that have it than in those that don’t.
We have a good alternative. Life without parole is now on the books in 48 states. It means what it says. It is sure and swift and rarely appealed. Life without parole is less expensive than the death penalty.
The death penalty costs much more than life in prison, mostly because of the legal process which is supposed to prevent executions of innocent people.
The death penalty isn't reserved for the worst crimes, but for defendants with the worst lawyers. It doesn't apply to people with money. When is the last time a wealthy person was on death row, let alone executed?
The death penalty doesn't necessarily help families of murder victims. Murder victim family members across the country argue that the drawn-out death penalty process is painful for them and that life without parole is an appropriate alternative.
Problems with speeding up the process. Over 50 of the innocent people released from death row had already served over a decade. If the process is speeded up we are sure to execute an innocent person.

I do not believe in the death penalty, and I do not believe Jesus would support it either. I am not against the death penalty because of my compassion for the rapist or murderer (I do try to have compassion for them, but often fail). Nor am I against the death penalty because I am incapable of feeling the pain of the victims' families.
I believe that you cannot give the state the power to kill; and that when we as a people support murder (even the murder of those who have committed horrible crimes), we do not prevent more murders but instead send a message that using violence is an acceptable means to stop violence.
Sister Mary Prejean sums up my point of view better than I can:
"Jesus Christ, whose way of life I try to follow, refused to meet hate with hate and violence with violence. I pray for the strength to be like him."

I agree with the death penalty fully.
Don't remember all of them, but I agree with Saudi Arabia's laws on the death penalty.

I trust the demise penalty and that i stay interior the U.S. I trust the demise penalty for some crimes (homicide, Rape, toddler Molestation) i be responsive to 3 human beings won't agree and that's great. it quite is a tragic reality whilst it includes it, yet some human beings won't be able to be rehabillitated, or taken care of, and it rather is quite no longer honest or suited to invite for taxpayers and regulation-abiders to pay for the maintenance, nutrition, and centers for a convicted murderer. i be responsive to that the demise penalty won't likely deliver lower back the victims of heinous crimes, nor will it make issues suited, notwithstanding it's going to make our streets safer, and could deliver a messege to all the predators of the international, no longer in basic terms that yet lower back it rather is no longer approximately revenge, it rather is punishment

Of course I agree. Those who don't actually surprise me. How on earth could you let a murderer who killed in cold blood with no excuse walk the streets once more? How could you let rapists and pedophiles loose once more? I believe in an eye for an eye. God's shari3a is best if applied correctly, not as it is by idiot extremists who consider a rape victim to be an adulteress. I truly believe that if we follow the spirit of Islam we can't go wrong.

well AA , i agree in certain cases for those who harm the people and the society i.e the serial killers , the rapists , the drug dealers , but some of the laws of the Islam I am agianst them as beheading the apostates and stoning the fornicators , it is very brutal to kill someone for changing his religion as long as he didn't harm anybody besides he has the right to change his beliefs , but unfortuantly i can't express my opinion as regards some of the Islamic Sharia laws otherwise they will behead me here ..but i am against some of them and totally against the massacre done in KSA ....

no I believe that humans should not be allowed to judge if one is guilty enough to have their life taken away
no one is born bad, situations and circumstances just provoke them in their childhood or throughout life to become that way
