fair enough. I don’t have any issues with captial punishment per se but I agree the whole judicial system is need of an overhaul.

Mike – I was referring to displaying the bodies of the executed, not beheadings themselves.

Loki, what exactly is your definition of “rare”? I fill my car with petrol once a week which equals 52 times a year or so….
Saudi beheading executions = 2005-191, 2006-38, 2007-137, 2008-102, 2009-23……….

Nice to know that only 2 to 4 folks have had their heads chopped off since my last fill-up..

I’m bothered by the whole thing: the judicial system, the arbitrary application of sharia law, the treatment of both foreigners and locals under lax interpretation, by gross abuse of human rights and decency, by the acceptance of these issues without even batting an eyelid by the populace and the rest of the Muslim nations and the cop out used when they are confronted with “what if they weren’t guilty” with “ah well, they’ll go to Heaven then.”

is it the bodies were put on display that bothers you or that it was foreigners? or both?

AFAIK its not the first time its been done though its very rare that they do this.

They did it again… more to confirm that this “deterrent” doesn’t deter.

Isn’t that story over two years old, or did they do it again??
