#1 they were tied to crosses. The Islamist Bali bomber was let out after serving just 5 years of a 10 year sentence. Sharia has been implemented in Aceh. The MUI has just passed a fatwa calling for the beating and murder of homosexuals.

Look sharp to Indonesia because Islamist fascism is rising

#4 I won't get too indignant about the execution of drug dealers. It's not like they didn't know the risk, as Indonesia (and Singapore, and Malaysia) makes it clear at every port of entry.

But anon1 has a point: the Bali bomber got off with a light sentence, whereas the drug mule was executed. Something's not right in that picture, and I know at least one of things that isn't right.

#5 Doesn't bother me.

There are multiple reasons to have a death penalty. One of them is to remove from society those who utterly reject its most fundamental rules - or are unable to abide them for any reason. This is an example of a healthy society protecting itself, not a punishment per se which would require that the executed person understand what's going on.
