Rulers in Islamic States are Hanged or shot when deposed

I have been wondering for quite some time how in the arc of Islamic states from North Africa to Pakistan the one recurrent theme is ‘no mercy, no quarter’ to a deposed ruler. In most cases the result is a blood curdling drama that either leads to brutal and violent death of the deposed leader or a farcical trial and subsequent hanging.

In addition when the deposed rulers are in power they also hang and kill their opponents without compunction. Is it the old Hammurabi’s code adapted to the 20th and 21st century of ‘an eye for an eye and hand for a hand’? A legal concept that has long been consigned to the flames in modern jurisprudence in most of the West and India.A view of the last 50 years will however bring out startling facts in the Islamic world.

Examples Saddam Hussain - Hanged Turkish Prime Minister Hanged- Adnan Menderes ZA Bhutto of Pakistan hanged Gadaffi killed brutally King Faisal of Iraq Shot Dead Hosni Mubarak -In jail Mujibar rehman- Shot Dead ( Bamgladesh) The list is endless
