This is nonsense. Show me a state with the death penalty that quotes the Bible as justification for this practice. The fact that Catholic governors are attacked for their stance on capital punishment throws your argument entirely on its head.

If you (like Kev) think that means that I see no difference whatever between the USA and disparate bands of loathesome militant extremists thats a shame. It's just that in addition to differnces, I also see some (not complete, just some) similarities. And since we believe the other side to be wholly evil (and they may well be) I think any similarities we find should concern us.

Perhaps you could compare them as i asked. Death penalty for murderers=beheading journalists, am I correct?
