Islam And The West

Convicted war criminal Steven Green has decided to say sorry for the crimes he committed in Iraq. It should be noted that Green a former Private First Class in the United States Army took part in the gang rape of 14 year old Iraqi Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi near the Iraqi city of Mahmudiyah.

Steven Green Raped Abeer Qassim Hamza Al-Janabi And Killed Her Family

At the time Green and shot dead Abeer’s  father,mother and  Hadeel her six year old sister. After which he then proceeded to rape Abeer and finally shoot her dead too.

Since escaping the death penalty for his crimes Green has suddenly regained his ability to speak. At a victim impact hearing held after the guilty verdict, Green said he was truly sorry for his actions:

“…Steven Green, who escaped the death penalty this month, told relatives of the victims that he is “truly sorry for what I did in Iraq.”

“I helped to destroy a family and end the lives of four of my fellow human beings, and I wish that I could take it back, but I cannot,” Green said, reading a statement at a victim impact hearing. “And, as inadequate as this apology is, it is all I can give you.”

The family refused to accept the apology.

Green was found guilty in U.S. District Court in Kentucky of raping a 14-year-old girl and murdering her, her parents and her 6-year-old sister in the town of Yusufiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, in 2006.

A jury could not reach a unanimous decision on the death penalty, which means the judge is required under law to impose a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Green will be sentenced September 4, but the victim impact hearing was held Thursday so surviving members of the al-Janabi family could testify before they return to Iraq.

They decried Green’s sentence and testified about how the heinous crime had shattered their lives and how it will haunt them always.

Green said that he knows “you wish I was dead, and I do not hold that against you. If I was in your place, I am convinced beyond any doubt that I would feel the same way.”

He added, “I know that I have done evil, and I fear that the wrath of the Lord will come upon me on that day. But, I hope that you and your family at least can find some comfort in God’s justice.” {Source: CNN News}

Reading about such crimes makes me feel physically want to vomit. I don’t think saying sorry will make it all better do you ?

I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot would the sentence have been the same ? Suppose a  Muslim had been found guilty of raping and murdering a non-Muslim Kentucky family. Would the Muslim have also escaped the death penalty ?
