I've been hearing even some conservatives complain now that this was a case of "Religious discrimination".

I wonder if he was a Muslim before he committed the murder and went to prison, or was a prison convert. Just curious.

He killed three people and was treated far better in prison than the way he treated his victims, one of whom was a fifteen year old girl he raped and murdered. The world will not miss this POS!

Tiffany was not "executed". She was murdered. There's a difference, you know.
And (puts on Grammar Nazi Hat) condemned murderers aren't executed, either. A sentence of death is executed upon them. They are put to death. Or killed. Or (hanged|electrocuted|poisoned|suffocated|shot|whatever). (removes Grammar Nazi Hat)

It actually was discrimination, although not by design. If a Christian is allowed a pastor in the execution chamber, then a Jew should be allowed a rabbi, a Muslim should be allowed an imam, etc.
I am puzzled why Alabama fought this in the first place. If the rules demand a prison employee, hire an imam for a day.

In the first story, no mention was made that the iman had already visited him twice nor that it would have violated the policy of no non-employees in the chamber.
