Just like back in the old days, it's the sharpness of the sword and the expertise of the one wielding it that matters.

They lead someone up with a guard holding each arm, then this big SOB whacks the prisoner in the belly, that makes the prisoner bend over, and down comes the sword.

It's probably more humane than lethal injection. What isn't fine is when they stone women for being raped and things of that sort. There are a lot of injustices done over there in the name of religion, death to one who truly deserves it is not one of them.
