J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Therefore, beheading is considered a just punishment in the main if Islam is at all questioned, particularly in public.


A young adult journalist, 23 years old, handed out a report he obtained by way of the Internet. The material was provided to students he was teaching in a university class in northern Afghanistan.

Judges concluded he deserved the penalty.
