Arabia
3 Saudis executed
2004-08-21
Saudi Arabia executed three Saudi men yesterday for raping a young boy while they were drunk, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. The execution in the Asir province raised to at least 13 the number of people put to death this year in Saudi Arabia, which implements Shariah law. At least 52 people were executed last year and 45 in 2002.
I don't recall seeing anything about anybody being executed for cutting people's heads off without a license...

#9  Based on my MidEast experiences, "Texas" is probably how the middle section of the country is referred to. "New York" is definitely used for the Northeast:

"Where you from?"
"Boston"
"Where?"
"It's near New York"
"Ooohh-Okay!"

"Hey, I take my intoxication seriously, too..."

So do I! In fact, I'm having a breakfast cylinder (beer) right now. Shoot, I'll have one for you.

At least I don't have to worry about the religous police kicking my door in and applying a scimitar to my neck. The Baptists? That's another story.

#6  "thanks for pointing that out."

Anytime. I don't have any issues with how the Soddies whack their criminals. I just wish there was some consistency.

It is quite likely that they would have been spared if they weren't drunk when they did the deed.

I'm all for expanding the death penalty here, starting with traitors, liberals, journalists...oh, my bad, that was redundant.

#4  thanks for pointing that out. I was actually thinking, for a brief moment, that maybe the Saudi's were on to something.

His point is, Soddies execute people for getting drunk, but not for cutting off the heads of innocent people.

I am certain that if the three had buggered the boy while sober, everything would have been okay.

We all "know" that "Boy Buggery" is a Saudi sport, what with your small penises and all, how could you get a woman? Oh...my bad, you rape them of course or you marry them off to thier cousins & Uncles. Inbreeding is dangerous you know.

BTW, hillbilly's come from Arkansas, everyone knows that! No offense to anyone from Arkansas.
