I'm opposed to the death penalty and not for sentimental reasons. We all die. Good people die. I just don't want the state holding people down and killing them because it sets a bad example for the other psychopaths.
Like most people I was glad to see Osama bin Laden dead. In my view Osama was a descendent of the Hashshashin , the Nizari branch of the Ismā'īlī Shia founded by the Persian Hassan aṣ-Ṣabbaḥ during the Middle Ages. They were active in the castle of Masyaf in Syria, which is where they came to our attention. The group murdered members of the Muslim Abbasid, Seljuq, and Christian religions for political and religious reasons. This was where we got the term "assassin." Osama was an assassin killed while resisting arrest. Well done.
