Hang him?

The International Herald Tribune reports on the death sentence passed on Iwan Darmawan for his part in the bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta in 2004. So pleased was he that Darmawan told reporters:

I am thankful for being sentenced to death. I am happy because I will die a martyr

Now let’s get this straight. Here is an individual who, as part of a terrorist network, is hell bent on barging his way into Janaah (Paradise) by sacrificing his life and he is getting a first class ticket to his destination?

Wait a second. Why not punish the poor fellow? Send him to live in New York, buy him a penthouse over-looking Central Park out-fitted with a blonde in bed, a yellow Porsche parked in the basement carpark, and a starring role in the next non-misogynist hip-hop music video. Let him suffer for a bit.
