You see I find when people say certain things like in your post they show how utterly retarded they are. "This could interfere with finding an impartial jury". Lol, WHAT? You will NOT find one, not unless you send out jury duty notices only to people living in caves or beneath rocks.
There will never be an impartial jury for this terrorist piece of shit. These lawmakers are insane if they think so lol.
To answer your question: he should be executed immediately. If they won't execute him then he needs to be in solitary 24/7 for the rest of his life.

all terrorists or just muslims?

It may be a lengthy process, but putting him in Guantanamo and a fair trial and jury is the right thing to do no matter how many people he's killed. Let him rot in prison for life.

I would agree with you if we changed the prison system for how it treats murderers. I can relate a disturbing story. A few years ago some guy murdered his family. Was found guilty, went to jail. After about a week or so in jail his lawyer was interviewed and asked how the guy was doing in prison. He responded with "he's doing okay, watching the lord of the rings trilogy".
Nope lol, just nope. Not acceptable. Kill him or put him in solitary, but no dvd's, no tv shows, no lollypops. This man murdered his wife and kids and the f*ck head was watching LOTR in prison.
I would be fine if we got rid of the death penalty as long as all murderers spend their entire stay in prison in solitary confinement. With the meals being stale bread and water. Once a year they get butter for the bread.

But seriously, my perspective is that we need to understand the mentality as to why people do these kind of things. I'm sure terrorists get worse treatment.
I would be fine with brain scans of these mental people to see why they commit such atrocities and then inform the public about it. Something like "smoking crystal meth may lead to gum disease and talking a lot of nonsense" or "abusive parents make psychopathic serial killers"
You know? For science.

I think truly committed jihadists who show no repentance and even voice the desire to do it again, if caught alive (which they usually aren't) should get the death penalty. In that case, yes, absolutely. They love death more than infidels love life, so sure, give them what they want. Send them to see Allah.

This depends entirely on the person. If tomorrow I murder someone and get arrested, I want the death penalty. Well wait, I guess with todays spa-like prisons it would be different, but if it was a choice of solitary confinement or death I'd choose death, being in solitary would be worse for me.
Some people would prefer solitary over death though, so not giving them solitary would be punishing them.
Though IMO you snuff out a life for no reason you forfeit your right to live. That doesn't change unless you have a phoenix down in your back pocket and bust that f*cker out.

I would like to focus on the death vs confinement debate.
Imo, if we keep them alive, we can use them for research into understanding the mentality of terrorists which would be useful in preventing more terrorists.

Don't we already have plenty of terrorists in jail? So we can do what you say with those folk. Lets snuff out the rest.

Research. Brain scans, behaviour monitoring, interviews. They do the same to serial killers, which, they are.

I'm not an expert, but I know they do this. It just makes more sense to keep them captive and find information from them instead of killing them for some vendetta. Their information is useful to us.
Why don't they do it to terrorists? I believe they already do. Trump's tweet is dumb, imo.

Good point, so then maybe keep one terrorist a year alive to do research on. Execute the rest(because we're never only going to have just one act of terrori in a year). How do we choose which one? Maybe some diversity lottery? Those always help and never backfire.

I think you would agree it would be silly to do research on EVERY single terrorist we capture. What purpose does it serve to keep them in jail on the tax payers dime, potentially for decades?
I know some will come and shout about the costs of the death penalty , but that's only because we allow them to go through so many damn appeals, etc. before it happens. Even when the evidence is 100% clear.
Put that money towards people who deserve it. Like, say, the victims of terrorism and their families.

I've already given a reason to keep them alive, and Surtur believes it's a good point.
I asked about money, not resources. Do you think killing terrorists is a good for the preservation of resources?

Edit: Second thought, he may just be way too dangerous to be kept alive. God, I honestly don't know.
Surtur
As for resources, it depends on if we change the process. IMO if the evidence is irrefutable a person should not be able to appeal their death sentence. It should not take a decade before they carry it out.
I want a more stringent process when it comes to handing out this penalty in order to make sure innocent people aren't executed. But I also want the process HIGHLY expedited for the people we are 100% sure are guilty.
If we took that approach, we would preserve more resources. The way we do it now really doesn't.
Foxsteak
"Beyond a reasonable doubt" is the term.
I'm still not convinced that the death penalty serves a purpose, but I'm open to your scenario in that if it is certain that the person in question does indeed 100% kill and is incurable, then, sure, why waste time on bad rubbish?
However, I believe keeping some alive for research, is still a valid point.

I agree, well said.
For those that have use/utility, they should be put to work and paid a nominal compensation for the work they do. But I am not sure about indefinite detention. It is a waste of money and inhumane to do that.
Normally, enemy combatants will be freed once a war ends. But the wars most of these men are captured from are not legal wars to begin with. And these wars do not have clear objectives with definitive outcomes and goals. Since no end is in sight for these military campaigns, then they can be held as long as the people in power say "military interests are not complete, it would be dangerous to release them."
Foxsteak
I mean, I'm against losing valuable sources of information, but for the protection of other people, I think there may be a case for the death penalty in extreme circumstances.

I wouldn't put it like that. An impartial jury is a very real concern, otherwise why bother with a trial.
What I WOULD ask is, why bother with a trial when one's guilt is literally beyond all doubt?
I'm not asking what the law says in this case, but more whether this is a practical concern on any level.

They are extremists who have been radicalised by a very real terroist movement, finding out how that happened for this particular guy could help with terroist prevention in the future.

Coercion, false promises, an ideology that seems more attractive then their current situations, faulty logic. Take your pick. I really don't think it's a mystery why they turn to the dark side so to speak. A lot of these low level fools know so little about what they are doing or why they are doing it, that keeping them alive for questioning seems like a waste to me.

This is assuming that we think your viewpoint is the only on or the correct one. I don't. I believe there are plenty of reasons the world would be better off without certain individuals. Whether you agree or not doesn't mean that I'm wrong.
It's only really cheaper because of how corrupt the prison system is imo.
cdtm
It's a tricky thing. If I have reservations against a death penalty, it's because of something like the fact the state can rationalize a whistleblower as an "enemy of the state" and kill him.
But as a concept, I certainly wouldn't lose much sleep if the Petit murderers, who, raped and tied down some kids and their mom so they can burn to death didn't beat the death penalty by a hair (Because of repeal, I believe)

A person can be removed from society just as effectively with a life time of incarceration. I agree on the need to remove certain persons for the public good, but fail to see how that justifies killing them.
And the death penalty is more expensive for a number of reasons 1. the due process to establish is much more time consuming when a life is at stake 2. the the incarceration of death row inmates is more intensive 3. lethal injections are very expensive to aquire and administer.

No. Execute hopeless individuals who meet the following criteria:
1. Are murderers and refuse rehabilitation and refuse to integrate even in prison.
2. There is 100% evidence that the person committed the murders. Not 70%. 100%. Such as a video surveillance that shows the person pulling up with their car, showing their license plate, and you can clearly see a tattoo on their arm, and the commit the murder on video while their phone showed that they were near that area, at that time. And the blood is all over their clothes and their skin is under the nails of the victim. Basically, so much evidence that it is impossible to deny that the person committed the murder. Before people say that this is a rare case, it's not. Many murder cases have absurd amount of evidence that make it impossible to deny.
If those two conditions are met, don't waste time or resources on that person. Execute them. No appeals, either. Make it a quick execution and trial with execution occurring within one year of indictment (which is not a conviction).

I don't see how imprisoning them is somehow better than just killing them but okay. Depending on the prison, you're basically keeping them in a shoe box and severely limiting their rights. I'm not against that, but I don't think it is better than just killing them and being done with it in the case of a terrorist/serial murder/rapist situation.

A life is at stake in either case.
If anything, the fact it's easier to lock someone in a cage until they die is proof we don't really care what happens to the prisoner, but just don't want blood on our hands.

Well one of them has had their basic human rights violated, the other has had their societal rights as a lawful citizen taken away from them because they committed a crime.
One of them has a life time to reflect on what they did, the other gets a quick death.
One of them has costed the taxpayer ten of thousands of dollars, the other has not.
Life imprisonment is better, yeah. And FYI: Life imprisonment =\= a lifetime of solitary confinement.

You're conflating "natural rights" with "legal rights" I think.
Also, some people consider life in prison, for the truly unrepentant and violent murderers, to be cruel and unusual punishment which violates our 8th amendment. And that it would be a mercy and a humane act to execute instead of life in prison.
There is no "moral high ground", in my opinion.
Also, yes, save the tax payers money. Or get the equivalent value out of the prisoner by putting him/her to work. So if it costs $70k a year to imprison an unrepentant murderer, then we had better get $70k in value back. If not, execute if both my requirements are met.

Also, yes, save the tax payers money. Or get the equivalent value out of the prisoner by putting him/her to work. So if it costs $70k a year to imprison an unrepentant murderer, then we had better get $70k in value back. If not, execute if both my requirements are met.
Bingo to all of this. I would just add I don't care how much the murderer repents, they should still have go along with the idea you just put forth. Since it's not easy to tell if someone is being genuine when they repent for a murder or if they are just trying to avoid execution.

I'm trying to make a distinction between the two really, the government grants and protects your legal rights under the grounds that you abide by the law that enforces them, but that jurisdiction doesn't extend to your life. The government did not grant that to you, and it surely wasn't given with conditions by which it can be revoked - by them and by anyone else. Hence it's not right for them to maim, torture, rape or kill you, that's overstepping their bounds and entering into authoritarianism.
Killing them instead of imprisoning them could be considered preferable or merciful to an individual (though not to many others), but cruel? So long their living conditions are humane and they are given an opportunity to reform (which I do get, is not always the case) I don't see an argument for cruelty. And if they choose to reject opportunities to reform, that's on them. Taking someone's life against their will however is always going involve cruelty, besides being a violation of their basic rights as a human being. And that's without including the part where they wait to die in solitary confinement.
And the death penalty is pretty extortionate in comparison to standard incarceration, so I highly doubt such a situation where killing them is cheaper would ever arise.

If they cannot be rehabilitated, they should be granted mercy and executed.

Are they truly doomed? If so, how would you know?

Not sure how life in prison is more or equally barbaric than state run executions. But if a law was passed where someone with a life sentence and a sane mind with zero change of parole could opt to die via humane ways, I'd not really have a problem with it.
My main gripe with the DP is the chance of an innocent person being executed.

You agreed with me for the most part.
The cruel part is the freedom restrictions which you do get and you did mention living conditions which is an extremely critical problem in the US Prison systems.
Also, not everyone has prisons and Criminal Justice Systems as nice and amazing as Norway's. I am not the first person to call the US Prison System a "cruel and usual" punishment.
But I'd like to call special attention to something you said which is not agreed to quite obviously but you present your opinions as fact:
Originally posted by Beniboybling

I disagree. Unless you think it's cruel to stop murders, rapes, etc. You think it involves cruelty but your position involves forcing cruelty to others when it is very well within our power to stop that cruelty.
But I should not argue over the details because you've already seen my position and agreed to it so me continuing this is actually just masturbation and perhaps comes off as condescending towards you.

If you want to keep them alive because of "magic future things", then I can go into fantasy land can pretend that your magic future things will not exist or the criminals will just get worse and people will be harmed or killed by them which makes you cruel and it makes the system cruel and usual.

It's because the system is setup to allow the person to leech money, indirectly, off the state for over 10-20 years before the execution occurs: appeals.
To me, it's always funny to me that people who work in or have worked in the prison systems are much more likely to be for the death penalty for certain types of inmates and situations.

Man, the fact this is even a question proves how hard it is to take one alive.
Geneva conventions dictate how pow's are treated, but does this qualify as a pow? Since we're not at war?
Of course, if we did deport them, their host country brush's this aside and welcomes them in with open arms, that's a pretty good excuse for war imo. They'd basically be condoning an attack against the U.S. Not something you can just shrug your shoulders and accept.

I remember after one of the more recent terror attacks in the UK(hard to keep track of them all) there was this story about a lot of Imams refusing proper burial rights for the terrorist.
Not receiving the proper burial or whatever...it was suggested this can have some negative impact on if the horrible terrorist goes to heaven or gets their virgins. IF true, then we execute them and we make sure they never ever receive a proper burial.

I remember hearing the same thing about the reason why they discarded Osama's body in the ocean after they killed him. It always did seem somewhat shady to me though. They could have told the truth... but we basically got no evidence that Osama was actually killed. We just have to take their word for it. That makes me sort of uncomfortable tbh.

I dunno about the whole no burial = no martyrdom tho
something about it just seems off
like most suicide bombers must know they're not getting any kind of burial
like the 9/11 hijackers... surely they knew their remains wouldn't be recovered

It's possible, but then hundreds of Imams in the UK are super confused about their own religion.
Or was it just virtue signaling?

I don't think it would stop them from trying to become one, but if there is some way to disrespect them with a burial that, according to the religion, would deny them whatever rewards they seek in "heaven" it should be done.
And in fact I'd argue any Imam that refuses supports radical Islam. So actually I hope this is true, because that actually gives us a way to test how much an Imam is for(or against) radical Islamic terrorism. There are zero good arguments to be made for giving terrorists respectful burials. It'd be a nice test of who is truly a moderate.
Though the CNN article I found about it did not actually list why the "not getting a proper burial" thing was bad in terms of what the religion believes the consequences are.

If I'm understanding that correctly, this is essentially just a way for the muslim community to show disapproval, but it apparently has no bearing on if their horrible god forgives or rewards these douches.
And yet, as the moderates claim, if most of the followers of Islam already disapprove of this behavior...well, "we super duper disapprove!" probably won't do much.

Their entire ideology revolves around the belief that their God wants them blow themselves up. If they are deluded enough to rationalise that kind of behaviour, the idea of improper burial rites will not deter them. Did I mention that they want to blow themselves up? Yeah. They don't care about what happens to their corpses.
Personally, I think you just get kicks out of the idea of defiling the bodies of dead terrorists. Not healthy.
