All of the people in Europe think Americans are barbaric because we have capital punishment. They would label capital punishment as being evil.Whether it is Uganda, Iran, or any other nation.
It's their country and they have the right to enforce any laws that they want.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; among these are LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
They have no right to deprive others of life.
The problem is that it is only "WE", we the United States of America, who recognize and protect unalienable rights as given by God. In all other countries, the government assigns the rights that the people may have and, unfortunately, in too many Islamic countries, those rights are quite limited or even non existent.
The truly evil practice of hanging people because of their sexual orientation is yet another excellent argument for why we freedom loving people who do recognize God given rights should reject any form of Sharia law being recognized or implemented in this country.
But our nation has decided that capital punishment is appropriate punishment for certain crimes and is not considered evil.
The government and people of Iran have decided that homosexuality merits capital punishment.
It is their country and their law.
So who are we to say that they are wrong or evil?
