That makes more sense then if there actually is a specific statement on the application of this law from the UHJ. But still, this Bahai country would at some point burn at least one person alive I would think. And when it does, people might be outraged. Well, you know since the death sentence is itself communtable to imprisonment, I would assume that it is communtable to a less horrific death sentence. If it can be lowered to life imprisonment - then it can be lowered to death by lethal injection - my opinion of course, but I bet that a Baha`i' Government would be a government willing to consult with the UHJ on the issue.   Regards,   Scott __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
