My personal opinion:
Once again Islam aka "the Religion of Peace" shows its real and brutally ugly face to the world!

Hmm did think the same when reading the article.
Me thinks that "trying to excercise their right to freedom of speech or religion" would have hit the point better.

Stupid Saudi's. Everybody knows that medieval societies burn witches, not decapitate them...

And the US has only executed 43 so far this year, still time for a couple more.

So by only executing 60%* of what Saudi's do is totally giving them the morally higher ground

Jussayin!

*Actually 58.9% if you must know.

I don't think this had very much to do with religion at all. It has everything to do with the Saudi Government using and co-opting religion in order to maintain its stranglehold on the people.

Maybe we should "liberate" those people.... just sayin...

I've suggested to the wife she may want to consider going to Saudi for the festive season

I alway have trouble with the death penatly. Sometimes bravado wells up over an issue I find unbearable and I yellout, "hand me the rope". But then I read stories like this one, bloodlust me thinks.

but if we look at the ratio of executed:population
the US is much lower

I am in favor of the death penalty for drug dealers
