Capital punishment should be removed from the world. You can give life time imprisonment to those who deserve. Why is there the need to execute a person? Let the man repent, read the Qur’an and perform his prayers. But you go ahead and execute that person while he is still in his ignorance. You would thus be setting fire to his life in the Hereafter and his life in this world as well. Let him repent, let him pull himself together and make up for all he has done. - Harun Yahya
