Dr Mahathir on his Blog Chedet bemoans the fact that places like Guantanamo exist and deaths of Muslims occur far too frequently. I share his dismay that the world is an Evil place. I differ, however, as to causality.
I want to highlight a gruesome picture of a crucified man. The reason is, crucifixions in
roman times, represent death by humiliation. This person was crucified as a collaborator in Yemen by an Islamist Group (See http://afrahnasser.blogspot.de/2012/02/who-are-ansar-al-sharia.html).
There is also a hoax going around the internet that this person was murdered for converting from Islam to Christianity. Perhaps, Islamists will say that he was murdered by justification as a collaborator of the enemy.
I believe this verse in the quran rightly depicts what this person apparently deserved
The just retribution for those who fight GOD and His messenger, and commit horrendous crimes, is to be killed, or crucified, or to have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or to be banished from the land. This is to humiliate them in this life, then they suffer a far worse retribution in the Hereafter. ~ Surah 5:33
In my conversations with Muslims on the Internet. Muslims often retort that the 'Prophet' pbuh himself received the final revelation from allah and i suppose continues the message Jesus wanted to share with the world. What i would like to know is would Jesus have approved of the punishments i.e. horrendous crimes per being ' killed, or crucified, or to have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or to be banished from the land'. Is this what God wants .
Is this why one of the names of allah is

Verses above crucified man in picture is from Surah 5:33
