"Saudi Arabia Executes Convicted Murderer in 48th Beheading This Year

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia —  The Saudi Interior Ministry says authorities have beheaded a man convicted of murder.

The ministry says Hamoud al-Ansi stabbed another man to death during a conflict over a piece of land. His execution took place Tuesday in the eastern Saudi city of Dhahran.

Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which those convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape or armed robbery are executed in public with a sword.

Tuesday's execution brings to 48 the number of beheadings in the kingdom this year, according to an Associated Press count. Saudi Arabia beheaded 137 people last year, up sharply from the 38 executed in 2006."

 

 

These are our good buddies.  For those of you who oppose the death penalty as it exists in Texas, imagine if it was expanded to include any murder (as opposed to murder in the commission of another felony or of a public servant), drug dealing, rape, and armed robbery.  Then imagine if it was carried out in public with a sword.  This is scary business people - We definitely have some nasty friends.

Really nasty "friends", fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudi. Now if they would crack down on terrorists and behead all of them, maybe they would truly be our friends.
