Islam

[The Architect Of Fate]

But the guillotine was used by France until the late 70s.

Irrelevant  it isn't used anymore because it is barbaric . 40 or 100 makes no diffrence .

Remember that I'm a Muslim. The Quran I believe in is 1400 years old, and its says to kill the killer. So I don't take my orders from the "French" or the "English".

We don't care 

Anyways, who gets to "amputate" is the council that the whole Muslims agree for it rule them. Of course to do that you need election. But the Arab/Muslim dictators arrest us and torture us with the aid of the west if we ever say that.

Irrelevant we have moved on 

That's why we -Muslims- have no country that carry out our sentences.

We don't care

No, the guillotine was less "painful" for the arms of the executioner; it had nothing to do with the condemned. You see, the rebels had to cut "lots and lots of heads"; so using an axe or a sword would tire them.

But believe me, they didn't want their sentenced to rest under any fashion; there is a famous quote from that revolution that says:

It was introduced because it was considered less painful and more humane than axes or swords so your wong

Humane my ass, Brian, get your head out of your imperialist-high horse's ass, would you?

How about you get yours out of your 14th century barbarian ass 

Diderot is speaking about hanging royals with the entrails of priests, but you come wash it away by claiming the "guillotine" was a humane invention....I want to lol but I don't want to sound like a troll.

It was considered so and that quote does not challenge that fact 

The guillotine was an instrument of terror that is light to the hand of executioners + costs way little than axes and swords.

It was adopted because it was efficient and regarded as humane unlike a sword or an axe it was not originally intended as a instrument of terror

The machine was deemed successful because it was considered a humane form of execution in contrast with the more cruel methods used in the pre-revolutionary Ancien Régime. In France, before the invention of the guillotine, members of the nobility were beheaded with a sword or an axe, which often took two or more blows to kill the condemned. The condemned or their families would sometimes pay the executioner to ensure that the blade was sharp in order to achieve a quick and relatively painless death. Commoners were usually hanged, which could take many minutes. In the early phase of the French Revolution before the guillotine's adoption, the slogan À la lanterne (in English: To the lamp post! String Them Up! or Hang Them!) symbolized popular justice in revolutionary France. The revolutionary radicals hanged officials and aristocrats from street lanterns and also employed more gruesome methods of execution, such as the wheel or .

Sensing the growing discontent, Louis XVI banned the use of the breaking wheel.[10] In 1791, as the French Revolution progressed, the National Assembly researched a new method to be used on all condemned people regardless of class, consistent with the idea that the purpose of capital punishment was simply to end life rather than to inflict unnecessary pain.

The origins of the French guillotine date back to late-1789, when Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin proposed that the French government adopt a gentler method of execution. Although he was personally opposed to capital punishment, Guillotin argued that decapitation by a lightning-quick machine would be more humane and egalitarian than sword and axe beheadings, which were often botched. He later helped oversee the development of the first prototype, an imposing machine designed by French doctor Antoine Louis and built by a German harpsichord maker named Tobias Schmidt. The device claimed its first official victim in April 1792, and quickly became known as the “guillotine”—much to the horror of its supposed inventor. Guillotin tried to distance himself from the machine during the guillotine hysteria of the 1790s, and his family later unsuccessfully petitioned the French government to change its name in the early 19th century.

And the french revolution was a failure because terror isn't effective method of government

Yeah but they stop at kings or priests they killed anybody with dissenting opinion .Then complete lawlessness . Then the takeover of an absolutist dictator worst then the people they got rid of. Not sure Denis intended that , And is yet more proof of why terror is a stupid way of running a country .
