Are all religions agaist the death penalty?

Question

if not can you name the ones that are.....or if its easier aren't

Answer 1

.  IN the Old Testament there is quite a bit of "An eye for an eye" and lots of people get "smote".  I think that Lutherans and Presbyterians and Methodists are not universally against the death penalty.

Answer 2

No. Hanging and beheading are common in Saudi Arabia and Iran. China executes for 'minor offences'. These are just an example.

Answer 3

Muslims give the death penalty for things like adultery, being raped, a woman showing part of her face/hair in public, and a list of other things they consider "offenses".  They also want to give the death penalty for things like drawing a cartoon.  And they pretty much want to give the death penalty to anyone that does not follow their religion.
