As Teen Girl Awaits Death, Saudi Surge in Beheadings Could Set Record High
The Saudi's suck. With a public policy like this, it's no wonder how there is little public outrage from middle eastern officials and clerics when terrorist do it.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Rizana Nafeek, a 19-year old housemaid from Sri Lanka, is on death row because the baby in her care died while she was bottle-feeding him. If her appeal is turned down, she will taken to a public square to be publicly beheaded.
The Sri Lankan government says it is working for a reprieve, and has until Monday to file the plea. A last-minute pardon by the infant's parents could also spare her. But if her execution goes ahead, it will be the latest in a surge of beheadings that could surpass the kingdom's record of 191 in 2005.
After dropping to 38 last year, the figure for 2007 is already at least 102, including three women, according to Amnesty International.

This is the kind of medevile culture, and government that Osama,and the Taliband want to enlighten the world with. And they have the nerve to say WE are a scurge,a blight on the world.

chilling...
Quote:
Beheadings are carried out with a sword, with police holding back spectators and making sure no one takes photos. Prisoners, usually sedated, are made to kneel, flanked by clerics and law enforcement officials and facing the victim's family.
"The prisoner now recites verses from the Quran while a government official reads the charges and the verdict," according to an account in Arab News, a Saudi daily. "Halfway through the reading the executioner suddenly nicks the back of the prisoner's neck with his sword, causing him to tense and raise his head involuntarily."
Then, in one swift move, the prisoner is decapitated.
Beheadings take place all over Saudi Arabia, usually in a square next to a mosque.
In a recent interview with Al-Yaum daily, Fahd al-Abdullah, an executioner in the Eastern Province, called his job "a very ordinary profession, just like any other profession."
Al-Abdallah, 27, comes from a long line of executioners. As a child he would watch his grandfather wield the sword, and later was trained for a year by his uncle.
question: why would one need to train for a year for this "skill?"

P.C. has left us. So I'll try to jog someones memory. I remember reading an article last year about the Saudies paying Al Quida off so they would leave the kingdom alone. And that some of the princes [there are alot of them running around] it didn't say which ones were secritly funding Al Quida. Does anyone else remember hearing anything like this?
Plus I don't think their exactly giveing us a deal on oil,and their makeing a killing no pun intendid..
