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

I didn't know people had the "freedom of speech/ religion" in Saudia Arabia.

Learned sumptin new today.

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.

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

Of course one argument for the other side might be the difference in the reasons given for the executions and the crimes of the executed. It's been a long time since we exersized the death penalty for witchcraft.
