As we look to shut down Guantanamo and move our country towards a more equitable and fair approach to ensuring swift justice for terrorists or criminals who are more comfortable with Islamic law, we need to look to those who have centuries of experience at providing justice that will hold up under the scrutiny of those in this world who expect better of the United States in the future. From FoxNews:
“An Islamic court in Somalia on Thursday cut off a hand and foot from each of four men convicted of stealing phones and guns, drawing hundreds of onlookers as the weeping men were punished at a military camp.”
Although they had body parts cut off with a long knife and no anesthesia, the men were reportedly thankful that they were not forced to listen to loud music, stay awake for hours at a time, deal with the absolute terror of having a caterpillar placed in their cell, or dunked repeatedly in water.
