37 Beheaded in Saudi (after torture)

I'm fairly sure the Beeb had it up about a week ago when it happened.

Maybe it has nothing to do with Sharia and simply a matter of we won't report something our allies don't want us to report?

All the stories seem today/yesterday? Hmm must be something to do with official papers being released.

Anyway it's absolutely disgusting. I've no intention of visiting any of these barbaric places like there or Dubai etc, they are 300 years (at least) behind everyone else.

IT's quite the contrast isn't it though, they on the flimsiest of "evidence" (sending a whatsapp message about a protest) execute kids for being so called terrorists, Britain on the other hand has hand wringers demanding we happily readmit someone back into the country who ran off to join a bunch of infamous real ones! (And according to recent reports wasn't nearly as innocent as she makes out).

Is your issue with the media coverage or the saudi law?

Quite obviously both. Why suggest an OR?

Fair enough. I always find it amusing when people want other countries to change their laws so they make sense to us. I don't understand why people act so agitated when a muslim country follows a law the muslims are supposed to follow.

Standard,from readers of the Book of peace .

I should imagine it happens in Game Of Throwns as well, although I don't actually watch it.

Anyways I was wrong, it was 4 days ago

Crucifying them after they've already been beheaded, what a shocking waste of resources.

"I always find it amusing when people want other countries to change their laws so they make sense to us. I don't understand why people act so agitated when a muslim country follows a law the muslims are supposed to follow."
You don't understand why decent normal people get annoyed when bad and unfair and unjust and downright evil things happen to others? Where to START with that.
Maybe I shouldn't care about the holocaust as it was mostly performed in Eastern Europe and was legal under Nazi laws.
Or I shouldn't care about horrible animal cruelty in China. It's allowed there.
Etc..

"Crucifying them after they've already been beheaded, what a shocking waste of resources."
The "crimes" are so bad, it really made them cross.

Yes they most be utterly Arabid.

There was never a highlander film set in Saudi, I'm suspicious he'd have feared the outcome.

That is very caring of you JC. And I would join you in advocating bringing prosperity to the people of Saudi Arabia. But at a time when our own govt and media are fecking us so badly, I would rather focus on what happens at home than cry about the injustices happening in Saudia.

I saw a video of a Saudi execution about a year ago.  The condemned was kneeling, there were a few officials standing around and about 20 feet away a crowd encircling them.  The executioner, dressed in white, simply walked up to the condemned, gave one swipe of his sword and walked off.  It had a real 'drop the mic' air about it.

Stonewall must not have heard about the gays surely they would have had a few hundred protesters outside the S. A. embassy..

What I find amusing is people who cannot debate without making things up.

Are you saying I made something up? Can you elaborate what exactly?

As long as they confine their beheading , dismemberment and general chopping up of people to their own country that's fine by me . It's when they take their barbaric activities to other sovereign states that I have a problem .

The greatest travesty is that, were it not for oil wealth, these primitive (and now swanky) despots would be still crawling around like serpents,
in the desert, and fornicating their camels, of which, in their culture, they are allowed carnal knowledge with more than one!

All these people who live in the nice areas of Britain will all wake up when Sharia law is implemented to all .and not just on those  who live in the inner cities . They will soon learn and be shown how they must act and behave .

Can't see the hunting and shooting set taking to it, more likely they'll all be executed at a large facility on the outskirts of Chipping Norton.

Have to ponder, how are these executioners remunerated?

I mean, is it a full time profession, where they are paid, even on days with no action?

Do they get paid per head, with a bonus for a busy day?

Do they have formal training, apprenticeship, City & Guilds etc, and have certification, and a well constructed CV?

I believe Albert Pierrepoint was a publican who got paid by the government per hanging.  I imagine it's a similar set-up in Saudi, though I imagine the day job is something other than publican.

Probably an enhanced interrogation operative.

Is it possible to actually behead oneself ?

Least likeliest thing to be found in Saudi Arabia - a gay bar.

I'd like to think his day job was comedian.

I won't be taking my boyfriend to Saudi this year...I am rather attached to my head

I have already had to cancel ourtrip to Brunei

'after torture'...people will admit anyhing under torture....I think they are about 500 years behind us...our government

should issue a protest

Torture is fine as a punishment but next to useless as an interrogation technique.

Analogy : The fella at the far end of your street has won the lottery and keeps giving you money even though you were never on more than 'nodding terms' and have nothing whatsoever in common . On more than one occasion you've walked past his house and heard him arguing with his wife and kids and you have seen evidence suggesting he has assaulted them .
Do you stop him in the street next time you see him or go and knock on his door and tell him to treat his family with consideration and respect or just turn a blind eye to what is going on ?

Ask him if he'll share his system.

................... is the wrong answer

It's called lateral thinking, Reyno.

mouse

I think I see your point Reynard, we need the Saudis to keep filling our begging bowl

Well Gays beheading is not too bad.....could be worse

............. unless one happens to be gay , of course

true

yeah cd be a west ham puff

Why specifically West Ham ?

Brilliant from the West Ham fans.

I mean , do you seriously believe the Saudi's concern themselves with the individuals affiliation to a certain football team or is this to do with rumours of a Saudi takeover of West Ham United ?

That's nothing I once mowed half the lawn on my mams front garden  on our council estate .I only mowed half because I get tired very easily and was going to mow the other half the next day.when we got up someone had stolen the half that had been mowed and left the other half that hadn't

My mam told me then to mow the lawn that had been left .I told her straight no I'm not they will come back for it if I mow it

Sorry I've posted this on the wrong thread .it should have been posted on the someone stole my tools thread

But it was highly likely to be Mo what nicked the turf.
