Saudi Arabia Executes 47 People in One Day (accuse, extremist, death)

[Spot]

The Saudi's executed 47 people accused of "extremist views." From my experience, if "extremism" is enough to get you executed, then most of that country should be put down.

I was going to start a new thread and call it "Whose side are we on?" with this news included, but seems this thread beat me to it.

Maybe I'll try anyway, because I'm not sure that just posting the headline will draw much attention or interest.

Let's see, shall we?

Other countries see us as backward as we see Saudi Arabia for executing people.

To be fair, the US executes murderers while Saudi Arabia executes dissidents and "witches".

That doesn't change what I said.

Dear Oklahoma, Texas and other southern "evangelical" conservative states with the death penalty - you aint got nothin' on the hardcore conservatives of Saudi Arabia!
