Of all the rotten reasons not to execute Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, we'll give the booby prize to the one offered by Paul Raushenbush, a HuffPo religion editor and ordained American Baptist minister.
On Melissa Harris-Perry's show today, Raushenbush imagined that in twenty years, Tsarnaev might become "a spokesperson for reconciling Islam with America. We don't know what this life is going to lead to." Anything's possible, but surely Tsarnaev's sentence should not be based on this sort of idle speculation. What made Raushenbush's argument particularly galling was his statement that "the idea of ending any life for any reason is for me just not something I want done in my name." I Googled, and sure enough Raushenbush supports abortion rights. You don't want "any life" ended in your name? You don't know what a life that is ended might lead to, Rev. Raushenbush?

I don’t understand people who have to invent themselves as an alternative thought.
Idiot...
Pro-abortion rights American Baptist minister opposed to death penalty for Tsarnaev because he doesn’t want any life taken in his name and Tsarnaev could become a spokesman for reconciling with Islam.
Disgusting double-standard ping to Today show list.
What does that even mean?
The terrorist murderer should be executed with his
lawyers and all who let him into America without
a Passport.
And ISIS might become peace activists in 20 years, so why would anyone want to kill them now? /s (yes it’s necessary, from some recent threads I’ve seen)
Islam is not capable of reconciliation or else it would have been done by now.
If only we are”Nicer”to these Murdering A**H*LES?????????EXTERMINATE THEM like The CockRoaches They TRULY ARE!!!!!!!
To me, this would be like the Menendez brothers pleading for the mercy of the Court because they are orphans.
According to their book, all muslims are obligated to seek world domination of Islam.
There can be no reconciling with Islam, only submission.
Three choices for infidels according to their book, submit and pay the jizya, convert or die.
Any idiot who believes that Islam can be reconciled with western civilization or reformed will have his head removed by the followers of Mad Mo.
I wonder what he would be thinking if one of his family members had died in the bombing?
Reverend? Pffft...
He should have said that from the World Trade Center Memorial.
Sadly - any “compassion” shown to Tsarnaev would 1) be a slap in the face to the dozens of Americans who have, and are suffering from his actions and 2) would be taken as a sign of weakness by Islamists.
Better croak him, so he can’t be pardoned.
Islam proscribes any reconciliation with infidels, either they convert to Islam or die. Right now thousands of Christians are slaughtered by Muslim for not renouncing to faith to Christ.
I guess they’ll let even the self-loathing insane be reverends nowadays. What a freakin’ loon.
If Bruce Jenner can be a “conservative”, I suppose someone who supports abortion, sodomy, terrorism, etc, can be a “Christian”. The cultural marxists have ruined plain English.
‘On Melissa Harris-Perry’s show today, Raushenbush imagined that in twenty years, Tsarnaev might become “a spokesperson for reconciling Islam with America. ‘
You guys has some really sick puppies there.
Meanwhile, Tsarnaev is flying a bird to signal respect and compliance.
