« Iran Blocks Internet | Main | Iran May Promise No Nukes at UN » Saudi To Stop Beheadings
By Micah Halpern
Tuesday March 12, 2013 I've Been Thinking: The Saudis are holding meetings. They are considered stopping beheadings - replacing them with firing squads. In attendance at these meetings are representative of the health ministry and the interior ministry who are saying that there are just not enough trained swordsmen in Saudi Arabia anymore. And those who are trained are so over booked that they come late and that delays the execution. Remember - quite a few crimes in Saudi Arabia warrant the death penalty. In addition, execution is the punishment for murder and rape. In Saudi Arabia the punishment for any form of drug infraction is death, as is the case with armed robbery. Beheading someone takes skill and strength. Firing squads are much easier to man. Every country faces its own demons and dilemmas. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
