Short Answer: Read the story on page A2 "Will death make Tsarnaev a martyr".
What do you think about this topic? If they put Tsarnaev to death, will he become a martyr and inspire more attacks, or does it matter at this point since he has already carried out his attack?
Write at least three to four paragraphs and make sure you use textual citations from the story to support your opinion.
I've always thought of death as an escape. To me, this is like he is getting away with his crime by not having to deal with life in prison, suffering in there. Instead, it would simply be over in a few seconds and I don't think that does justice. He won't be sentenced to death to until "years, possibly decades, of appeals before Tsarnaev — sentenced Friday by a federal jury in Boston to death by lethal injection — is executed," (LeBlanc, Salsberg). That doesn't sound like a good punishment for what he did and threatened to do afterwards.
You never know what these terrorists will do. There is no negotiating with them nor will they see 'America's side' on things. They don't work that way, they were taught to just act with terror and cruel crimes. So it is very possible they could spark more attacks. He requested to become a martyr, "notes Tsarnaev scrawled inside that boat condemned U.S. actions in Muslim countries and asked Allah to make him a “shaheed,” or martyr," (LeBlanc, Salsberg). If this gets back to their countries, it could inspire more attacks.
Terrorism expert, Matthew Levitt, voiced his opinion, saying “Are jihadists going to look to him as some kind of martyr figure? The answer is likely yes. To a certain extent they already do,” (Levitt). This is a concerning thing and I do agree. Even though Tsarnaev may not have been very well-known with those terrorist groups and is more independent, you never know what could spark the terrorists to move forth with more attacks.
