Death penalty: opinions

As we expect for every morning, Naseer teacher yesterday has brought us a really great breakfast. The breakfast was an open buffet from many subjects that still debated in the world. But the interesting in our breakfast's discussion was the subject of death penalty. So I'm going to focus on that subject and also explain what really I think. People in the past had different vision for this topic, because they thought that they have to kill who kill one of them, I mean the expression '' eye for an eye '' (expression that our prophet had used in some Hadith), But in the present time, majority of points of view had been changed, and people differently start thinking about this punishment. Before they thought that death is a necessary retribution for murderous cases, but after decades they notified that this didn't effect the society and crime rates continued rising.

In our classroom, many classmates like Bilal, Firdaous and Beliz accepted the idea of that governments have to exert death penalty as a punishment. But really I had a different opinion, even I agreed on the example that Beliz had given. I think that death penalty is really a negative form of punishment, because firstly killing criminals wasn't in any time a lesson or a warning for people. Even plenty of people had condemned for their crimes and had been exerted to death penalty but crimes still increasing and prisons still full. So why we are using this from of punishment, If we can not at least prevent rise of crimes and unlawful acts.

All religions, ethnics with their ideologies, cultures considerate people's soul a really precious and valuable blessing that our God sent to us. And they agree on conservation of the human soul. For example, in Islam, there are many Quran's verses that tell people to forgive people who made crimes and to forgive them an opportunity to return to their first life and to be thoughtful. To sum up, death penalty should be not upheld by the governments, instead of this governments have to think about building special establishments for people condemned for kill crime and assassinations.
