Saudi Arabia Marks 136th Beheading of 2007
Saudi authorities on Sunday beheaded a citizen convicted of shooting a man in the head with an assault rifle, the Interior Ministry said. In a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency, the ministry said that Ali bin Suweid Al-Domnan killed Diyab bin Ali al-Mansour following an argument in the southern city of Najran.
Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which those convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery are executed in public with a sword.
Sunday’s execution brought to 136 the number of people beheaded in the kingdom this year, according to an Associated Press count. Saudi Arabia beheaded 38 people last year and 83 people in 2005.
Hmmmmm. Immediate execution for murder, drug trafficking, rape, and armed robbery….
Maybe they DO have something right over there!
Are they saying these killing are authorized by the Almighty Allah. May God truely guide them because this is realy cruel. And the ironic thing is that they blame it on islam.
