#1 For guys who "welcome martyrdom", they sure are taking their time getting on the bus. Typical jihadi pussies...

#5 Well hell just do what the Brits supposedly did in India.

Tie them over the muzzle of a cannon and pull the string. I guarantee they won't need a second shot. You could even wrap them in pig skin to keep them warm.

#6 I like the idea of them being hung, while wrapped in pig skins.

#7 Jakarta (AsiaNews) - According to Islamic law, it is better "to die by decapitation than by gunshot", and no "repentance or regret" must be shown over violence committed "in the name of holy war". This is the "spiritual testament" of Imam Samudra, one of the three people responsible for the massacre in Bali in 2002, in which more than 200 people died. The three are awaiting judgment from the Indonesian authorities.

"Until I die, I will show no repentance for my actions", the terrorist is believed to have said to his brother Lulu Jamaluddin during a recent conversation at the maximum-security prison on the island of Nusakambangan, in central Java. He also added that a holy war, conducted through "the use of bombs" and suicide bombing attacks, is "blessed by God", for which reason he will never make "appeals to clemency" to avoid the death penalty.

According to a defense attorney, the men have asked for judgment to be carried out according to "the dictates of sharia", which provides for death by decapitation: another sign of their effort to "promote the values of Islamic law until the end, even at the point of death: dying by decapitation is a blessing". The lawyer also added that the island of Bali was chosen for the attack because it was under siege by hundreds of "infidels", meaning American citizens and their closest allies, including the English and Australians, who crowd the island's beaches and nightclubs every year.

From Jakarta, another lawyer for the three men has asked for the sentence to be overturned, because "the country's supreme court did not follow the correct procedures to apply the death penalty". This position was immediately rejected by Andul Hakim Ritonga, the deputy attorney general for the district, according to whom "everything was done according to the law" and only "the last bureaucratic formalities" remain to be arranged. He emphasizes that the site for the execution has already been chosen - the regency of Cilacap, in central Java - and that "we have submitted an official demand to Central Java Police and Bali Police HQ to make decisive actions to prepare their best shooters to do the job.

The execution by firing squad should take place by the end of next month, before the beginning of the sacred month of Ramadan.

#8 They want decapitation?

Fine. Start at the ankles and work your way up.

Oh, make sure you lube them up well with Bacon drippings so the rusty saw slides a little easier.

#9 Victims in Bali did not get to choose how they wanted to die...did they not have pain? Why do the muderous cowards get to choose?

#15 My vote is to stake them out and set off a bomb near them. Some will die instantly; some will be badly injured and die slowly.
Sorta like their victims.

#17 Give them a typical jihadi punishment and decapitate the scum.

#18 Better yet, strap about 100kg of plastic explosives on them and detonate them in the center of a soccer stadium. Shouldn't hurt anymore than it hurt their victims.

#19 Douse them with gasoline and use a flash-bang to ignite it. That will provide the same experience of jihad many of the victims felt.

#20 Personally I'd execute them by filling their lungs with coagulating pigs blood.
