Isn't "An eye for an eye" Biblical ?
Here in the US if a Pedophile rapes and murders a five year old Girl,
he'll go to prison for a few years, have a nice bed, good food and can
watch television all day before being released on parole after having
served only a fraction of his sentence - free to rape and murder again.
I go along with Iran in a case like this. Give him to the Girl's Parents
and let them mete out the punishment.
On the other hand I'm certainly not for chopping hands and fingers for theft.
Maybe there's such a thing as being too civilized.
