If I had the authority I would have most of my countrymen garrotted on the spot to be honest, so you might have your wish if I ever got my way; though I doubt you would live to enjoy it.
A truly God-fearing society is what we must become.

I agree. His hands must be chopped off, for it is what Allah SWT commands of us! Only Jews and Atheists don't follow the glorious Shariah Law!
