Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Even if he does say "Jehovah".

You're only making it worse for yourself!

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

If God will make the final judgement, surely its the job of the justice system to arrange the meeting

I don't think it is clear which God has jurisdiction in this case. Are their any Muslim contractors on this forum who can advise?

Release all prisoners and say that they will all be judged by a higher power (ie God) when they die. That is the logic of the Scottish legal system !!

I wonder how god judges racists?

The Christians, Muslims and Jews all worship the same God.

The extremely dubious nature of the conviction should have been a factor.

In my view we should be practical, if people are no longer a risk it is not a problem releasing them. It is the ones who are a risk we should not be letting out. So it was really about oil deals that benefits BP and the UK? Good. If so, a sensible motive at last.

"Sending the wrong message" etc is drivel. People are really going to be encouraged into terrorism/crime if they going to be released only when a few months from death?
