People call this bad and yes it is, but is life in prison any better? I don't think so...

What better way than to bring back a form of torture and execution that hasn't been practiced since Antiquity, and add a whole new twist to the game!
They're trying, in their own way, to be very New Testament. That's a book I don't use.

Remember now, Saudi Arabia is our friend, never mind it was their citizens who are responsible for 9/11. Good thing we flew the Bin Laden family out of the country a few days after the towers crumbled and fell.
Maybe I am missing something. If he has been beheaded what is the point of crucifying him.

I am no expert in Saudi law but I assume the crucifixion comes first and then they parade his head around on a spike. That takes beheading to make that possible.

The beheading is done first in a public area and is usually unannounced. The body is later hung from a horizontal beam for three days. People shouldn't envision the Christian view of crucifixion as it not the same.

Why on earth we have anything to do with these scumbags, especially after 9/11, is baffling. They still have to sell their oil, and we still have to buy it, it does not mean we have to do this though.



I guess selling them F-15's and Apache helicopters, that they would never use against their ISIS brothers, is more important than anything else.
I actually agree with you.

As I said earlier, I suspect 99% of persons now on death row would disagree that prison is worse than beheading.

I think you would be wrong, most people on death row have already accepted their fate. Also the saudis behead people with a large sword, it's not really that different from a guillotine and is pretty quick.
