Yes - for murder. (eye for an eye) The USA has it, but not in all states. Canada hasn't had the death penalty for years. Not sure about the UK, but I suspect they don't actually execute people these days, even if it's still on the books.
Did you know that in
all muslim ruled countries the death penalty for something as simple as converting a muslim? Or even _preaching_ to a muslim? (Not all countries go as far as executing someone for preaching, but definitely jail time in some of the scummiest hellholes you've ever seen)
Muslims come to countries like Canada or the US and
demand freedom to worship, but won't accord those same rights to members of other religions.
Democracy and freedom of choice are
rights whether the leaders of a given country believe that or not - and by supporting power groups (either directly or by inaction) that believe they have a right to suppress
any information on other belief structures, you are in fact supporting slavery and
perpetuating the dark ages on this planet.
