Really wanted to go to protest against #rape yesterday but after reading the charter for @AuratAzadiMarch I decided not to.
Y'all can argue about the cons of capital punishment and call it a herd mentality but if someone has killed my family member ++

I wouldn't want them alive. What exactly do you think parents of the girl who was first raped, then pelted with stones and then burnt alive want? The offender to do 10 years in jail and that's it? ++
The left wing considers that Islam is a barbaric religion for imposing death penalty, however, Islam establishes the sanctity of human life and the prohibition against taking human life but making an explicit exception for punishment enacted under legal system. ++
If anyone kills a person—unless it is for murder or for spreading mischief in the land—it would be as if he killed all people. And if anyone saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all people (Quran 5:32).
" And in (the law of) retaliation there is (saving of) life for you, O' people of understanding, so that you may guard yourselves (against evil)."
(Baqarah:179)
Allah says that there is 'life' for you in Qisas and retribution.

A) to provide the aggrieved with whatever sort of justice they want i.e. Quran says, 'an eye for an eye, a slave for a slave.. a life for a life.. '
B) to create deterrence
Hence, Islam doesn't shut the door of pardon, it doesn't let both the parties take law into their hands++

It requires that a proper legal system be put in place and the Qazi decides upon the applicability of capital punishment (which is also in extreme and heinous cases).
I believe capital punishment isn't harsh, it's not violent and whether it will be a deterrent or no is secondary

The primary right should be with the vicitm's heirs and whatever they decide upon it.
End.
End.
