Well...

A committee consisting of representatives from the Ministries of Interior, Justice and Health says there are shortages in government swordsmen and argue that a change to execution by firing squad would not violate Islamic law

How is death by firing squad more humane than death by beheading?

You'll be dead either way and an unskilled beheading would be just as bad as a firing squad with bad aim...

 

[DrLeftover]

Whether or not it is humane is not part of the equation.



Once again, those in the West are trying to make the situation work under Western sensibilities.



This is Sharia. The term Human Rights is meaningless. Get used to it.

No, not for them. I'm just wondering how those protest/human rights groups thing it makes a difference.
