Under Islamic law a Muslim may not receive capital punishment for the murder of non-Muslims, and the three perpertrators did not receive such a sentence. Instead, they were sentenced to 14 to 20 years imprisonment. Infidel life is cheap in the Muslim world. Well, actually, all life is cheap in the Muslim world, but Infidel life hardly raises an eyebrow.

Murder of infidels is commonplace in Indonesia, which is 88% Muslim. In 2002, radical Muslims blew up a nightclub killing 202 people, most of them foreign tourists, including 88 Australians. The mastermind of the plot, a smiling terrorist named Ali Amrozi bin Haji Nurhasyim (see picture at right giving "thumbs up" at his trial) was convicted and sentenced to death, but the high court of Indonesia reversed his death sentence. The smiling murderer's ultimate fate is said to be uncertain, but look for him to be released in a few years.
