JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Three militants awaiting execution for the 2002 Bali bombings plan to challenge the legality of death by firing squad, but it was unclear if the move would lead to a last-minute stay, their lawyer said Tuesday. Imam Samudra, one of three militants sentenced to death over the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings. Mahendradatta, who goes by a single name, said he would file a petition next week at the Constitutional Court arguing that convicts who go before a firing squad sometimes do not die immediately, causing unnecessary suffering. "We're seeking an execution without pain," said the lawyer, who in the past has argued that his clients would prefer to be beheaded, which they say is more in line with Islamic teachings.

Let's see...should we give-in to their request?

I favor slow-burning them on stakes for all to see, just the way they burned the innocents in the night club.

[DonaldC]

They’ll burn for eternity anyway, but it would set a good example for other followers of that cult.

Would be a shame if they ended up getting shot in the stomach...

[Lurker]

Line 'em up against a wall and shoot them. Dip the bullets in lard first.

Treat them like a raped woman, tried by Islam.

Flay them. Rape them by dogs.
Then bury them up to their necks in a pig lot.

How about a steady diet of fried pork rinds until the heart attack comes?

"...convicts who go before a firing squad sometimes do not die immediately, causing unnecessary suffering.

It is my hope the courts there will not even entertain his motion. Hey Mahendradatta... they invested something for that: The coup d'gras.

We're seeking an execution without pain

How about if we shove a stick of dynamite up their butts and light it?

> arguing that convicts who go before a firing squad sometimes do not die immediately, causing unnecessary suffering. “We’re seeking an execution without pain,”

Cowards beneath contempt.

The lawyer needs to appear before the United Nations. He is saying hateful things about Islam by saying that these men who prefer beheadings find anything "Islamic" about such a practice.

I wonder how their unholy sharia says they should die.

Explosions at decreasing distances. At first they get get a ringing of the ears and maybe catch a fragment or two. As they get closer they suffer more injuries like crushed limbs, burning, fragments from embedded nails, and maybe having some parts blown off. Then blow up a bomb where they suffer major third degree burns and crushed internal organs. If they survive, put an armed guard on them over night and then do it again the next day.

If they insist on decapitation, do it with a dull saw.

[correctthought]

Aren’t we trying to punish them?

[RightWhale]

They want to be beheaded. A couple turns of detonation cord around the neck would do it and be interesting.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

If they want to be beheaded, let them die that way. Only use a rusty butter knife to do it.

[MtnClimber]

It should also be televised on Al Jazeera.

square bullets w/ very light loads. It might take a half-hour or so . . .

[RandallFlagg]

Ummmm.
Might I please suggest...

Too right.

I favor commuting their sentence to life without parole in an Australian Maximum Security gaol. Death by being boinked silly by a sex-starved mad-as-a-meat-axe psychopathic cellmate would be pretty much in line with the teachings of the Koran.
