Personal spiritual advisors are allowed in the observers room, including the imam. Only the official prison chaplain, a Christian, is allowed in the execution chamber. Now, the imam will be inside the chamber. Betcha the muzzies have some kind of demonstration planned.
If I had my way, executions would be public again. For justice to work, it must be seen to work. Doing the deed behind closed doors diminishes its deterrent effect.
But if we’re too squeamish to witness what the state is doing in our name, maybe we shouldn’t be doing it. And we damned sure shouldn’t put if off for twenty years.
After the execution has been completed with the requested imam in the chamber, then look for CAIR or ACLU to sue the state, the warden, and the prison system, for going against their own written policies on the matter.
It appears to be a set-up that will not end well.
