Polish Muslim leader says death penalty should be reinstated for terrorists

Chief Mufti of Poland Tomasz Miśkiewicz has said that EU countries should reintroduce the death penalty for terrorists, in the wake of Tuesday’s fatal attacks in Brussels.

Ummm…

Since most terrorists wind up dead once they begin to enact their schemes – often enough dead at their own hands, intentionally, on purpose and gleefully – this doesn’t seem like it’d actually change things much. The only thing it would seem to accomplish is to make the guy proposing it seem like he’s taking a stronger stance than he actually is.

Now, to give the guy credit he suggests using the death penalty not only for perpetrators, “but also anyone who is against freedom, who propagates terrorism.” On the one hand… no, that ain’t gonna happen. But on the other hand… that there would be an amazing can of worms. “You publicly read the Koran out loud? Guess what…”
