A little news tidbit you will not see in our media
Saudi Arabia - the beheading capital of the modern world.
Saudi Arabia uses public beheading as the punishment for murder, rape, drug trafficking, sodomy and armed robbery, apostasy and certain other offences. 45 men and 2 women were beheaded in 2002 and a further 52 men and 1 woman in 2003.

snip from http://www.richard.clark32.btinternet.co.uk/behead.html


I read this somewhere and while I abhor and condemn what the terror groups have been doing in Iraq kidnapping foreigners and then beheading them - this little bit of information does give me a little more understanding of the acceptance of this type of execution in the middle east.

2. No wonder the "Saudi terrorists" like to use that on
American "enemy combatants". They're used to that.

Reminds me of the days when public hangings were cause for picnics.

What about the new Iraq?
The new Iraqi PM said that the insurgents would be beheaded!
Nobody seems to catch that little pice of information!
