The DEATH Penalty

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

But in the situation you gave about my loved one being killed, I would not support the death penalty unless they were killed by a counterrevolutionary insurrection.

What if it happens to be a revolution with whose goals you disagree? In other words, would you support summary execution for those counter-revolutionaries in a revolution whose goal was to put the Taliban into power?

Islam is by definition counter-revolutionary.

Please don't dodge the question. I asked about putting the Taliban into power, not Islamics.

Suppose we take Indonesia as a hypothetical. It has the largest population of any Muslim nation on earth, but the government is completely secular and the constitution guarantees religious freedom, which is enforced by numerous laws.

Suppose a group aiming to set up a Taliban-controlled government began a revolution. Moderate Muslims along with the minority Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and the non-religious in the country begin a counter-revolution to stop the Taliban supporters. Would you support the summary execution of these counter-revolutionaries?
