One of last year’s most popular posts was titled: Record Beheadings and the Mass Arrest of Christians – Is it ISIS? No it’s Saudi Arabia. Here’s an excerpt:
In the past month, a group of radical Islamic extremists based in the Middle East beheaded at least 23 people and enforced a ban on Christianity by arresting a group of people for practicing the faith in a private home.
No, I’m not talking about ISIS. The real culprit is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the America’s closest global allies.
I have highlighted the inhumanity of the Saudi regime frequently recently in order to demonstrate the incredible hypocrisy of U.S. foreign policy. While America’s phony politicians and useless mainstream media will often hype anti-Chrtistian bigotry and humanitarian issues when it suits the status quo message, the true driver of U.S. foreign policy can be summarized with two words: CORPORATE PROFITS.
It appears last year’s jump in beheadings was just the beginning for the Saudi monarchy, which follows a form of Sharia Islamic law in which one can be put to death for rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking. In case you aren’t familiar with the term “apostasy,” here’s the definition from Merriam-Webster.
In 2015 to-date, the Saudis have averaged a little over one beheading every 48 hours, putting the latest tally at 45. Last year, they were only able to hit 87, but are clearly trying to make up for lost time. The Telegraph reports that:
A man convicted of murder was beheaded in the Saudi capital on Monday, amid a steep rise in the number of executions in the ultra-conservative Gulf kingdom this year.
The beheading of Saad bin Abdullah al-Jadid, who had shot dead fellow Saudi Abdullah bin Faraj al-Gahtani, took to 45 the number of executions since January 1, according to an AFP count.
Saudi Arabia has carried out around 80 executions annually since 2011, with 87 recorded last year by AFP.
Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Saudi Arabia’s version of Sharia Islamic law.
Earlier this month, it was reported Raif Badawi, the Saudi blogger sentenced to 1,000 lashes after being convicted of insulting Islam, could face death by beheading, according to his family.
The case attracted worldwide condemnation when he was publicly flogged in January. His family said they have been told he is to be tried for apostasy.
While we’re on the topic, just last week the Guardian reported that blogger and human rights activist, Mohammed al-Bajadi, has been sentenced to 10 years in jail. What could he have done, you ask, to justify such a sentence? Well, the Guardian reports that:
A founding member of one of the few independent human rights groups in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, a regional rights group has said.
Mohammed al-Bajadi was sentenced last Thursday by the specialised criminal court in Riyadh, whose jurisdiction is related to terrorism, the Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR) said in a statement on Wednesday.
Bajadi, in his 30s, faced various accusations including acquiring banned books, organising a protest by the families of prisoners and publishing material that “would prejudice public order”, the group said.
The comments came in response to worldwide outrage over the sentence of 1,000 lashes handed to another activist, Raif Badawi, for “insulting Islam”.
The foreign ministry said the country’s constitution “is based on sharia (Islamic law) that guarantees human rights”.
This is one of the American government’s closest global allies.
Naturally, some human rights are more equal than others.
Thank you Mike Krieger! (And you too, Tyler.)
INBRED FUCKS!!!!!!!!!
They should bedick the Saudis... physically turn them into the cowardly pussies that they are.
You do realise of course that if you are against Saudi beheadings you are an anti-semite...
Jesus Saves?
heads or tails?
Maybe we can help them out of the eighth century.
We could help them progress a thousand years by introducing them to the eighteenth century guillotine.
Those clumsy swordsmen executioners miss a lot.
There is not much else we can do to fix barbarian Saudi Arabia except turn it into a glass desert parking lot (which would also restore the oil industry).
Hey, I'm certain those who've had their heads chopped off were first found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of their peers. The US is a country of the highest integrity and expects the same from its friends and allies.
“I'm certain those who've had their heads chopped off were first found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of their peers”
..especially the witches and surplus ”adulterous” wives.
Arent Wahhabi Jews?
Im confused.
RIPS
I understand that shrunken heads are drawing top dollar in European collector markets.
The Saudis are barbaric and should aspire to the American Christian values of bombing and droning the fuck out countries that have the resources the US wants. Until they are napalming villages, spreading depleted uranium across nations, killing 500,000 children who were "worth it", they will forever be medieval Muslim fucks.
Anyone here think slicing through a neck with a sword is somehow more loathsome that dropping a bomb from an air conditioned plane, from 30000 ft.
No, I didn't think so.
Christians don't bomb or drone anyone, their psychopathic politicians do. People complain about Christians, who are usually pretty easy to live with, consider the alternative, these nutjobs.
The same applies to Saudi citizens and hence Muslims. It's their psychopathic leaders doing this.
Blows me away at the absolute intrinsic bias hard wired into our minds.
Islam/Judaism competing brand names for circumcisionist child mutilation cults
Christianity competing brand name for child rapists. All religion is tarred with same brush, we just turn a blind eye to the evils of our own religious upbringing.
Don't worry, Jesus still loves you and forgives you for your sins and apostosy and the words you speak against him.
(Now if you were in Saudi and sprouting this shit off about Mohammed...well, then you would be on your own mutherfucker).
Jesus// Mohammed/ Yahweh, all bullshit mate designed to control you. You like an authorative figure controlling your thoughts, your life,, your being. Don't worry mate, humans have natural tendency for slavery.
Oh f*ck off. You're talking like such courts really exist in the west. I cannot imagine a more hypocritical set of courts like those in the US and EU. The real connected criminals skate every time, just like in the Middle East. It's the same phony pariahs everywhere. At least the Saudis don't make a pretence of justice. As for the US, these days you have to go down with a gun in your hand for a traffic violation as there's no other chance of trying to get out alive.
Yesd we could explain to them and their friends in Israel that their God(s) did not make a mistake in the design and therefore it is unnecessary to chop off parts of their childrens genitalia
.
Not at BofA or Wells-Fargo, he doesn't.
Jesus saves, but your wife spends. You got no chance, Gringo.
"You do realise of course that if you are against Saudi beheadings you are an anti-semite"
CH1 has 3 fatal flaws:
1. He'll sieze on ANY opportunity, however flimsy, to point a finger at what many would consider atrocities, perpetrated by a culture OTHER than his pet favorite.
2. His 'pet favorite, in this case, [regime wise], are actually 'crypto jews' [Wahhabi's, under the onion skins, are much the same as Khazars in a behavioral sense, adopting only the aspects which allow them to sidestep things] ~ lol
3. WTF is the difference between 'BEHEADINGS' [which feast on the 'GRUESOME' emotion factor], or the hundreds of millions who suffer & die otherwise in a world of counterfeit money printers, endless war machines, & propaganda.
I'll invite any questioning of the <ABOVE> reasoning by persons whose ultimate destination can avoid idiot ad hominem attacks... Otherwise, I'll kindly ask you to STFU... Thank You in advance for your cooperation.
LOL... I compliment a guy and it's all about Jews.
Is Krieger Jewish?
But, I have to give the Nazis credit: They own the ZH comments.
They also own Ukraine, state and treasury and most of the DC thinktanks.
And they're disproportionately Jewish...
Zionism and National Socialism have much more in common than dumb fuck gatekeepers like you can or will appreciate, but one is proscribed while the other has hundreds of nukes and virtually controls us foreign policy.
Xxoo
It has nothing to do with Krieger dimwit...
- You commented on the article <approval>
- Which, 'de facto' means you're a bandwagoner for 'Fuck the Saudi's'
- Which you might be right about
- Notwithstanding ~ where are you when Israel is committing atrocities [which happens with as much if not more frequency]? I'll answer that... FUCKING ABSENT!!!
- Worse ~ you jump on the bandwagon to decry the comments which support that well known fact... Worse, you're salivating for the opportunity to put the 'REPORT OFFENSIVE COMMENTS' link to use...
- Which makes you a fucking HYPOCRITE
Just as much as I'd like to know where those people who always decry about the Israeli attrocities are when the rest of the world constantly does shit that's far far worse. Oh that's right, they aren't Jews, so who cares.
Lovely isn't it? Living in a country where we have the luxury to pick and choose which attrocity to be mad at.
CH1 makes it a point to be my personal 'red arrow' troll [even if my comment is nothing more than a silly joke about Kim Kardashian]
He finds it offensive that I'm critical of people who:
- counterfeit money
- warmonger for profit
- support apartheid
- steal Palestinian land
- are at the forefront of propaganda
- hijack the geopolitical process
- hijack the legal profession
I'm clearly the bad guy here & he thinks that voices like mine should be silenced for the greater good... We're all 'NAZI's' you see <above>
LOL... Yes! I spend all day, just waiting to give you red arrows!
Unlike you, I'm not obsessed with this. I toss out a few red arrows - I want the Nazis to have some opposition here, small though it may be - but while I recognize your name, I couldn't point to any particular post you ever made.
But rejoice! You're winning Nazi Boys! You are the undisputed alpha gorillas in the Tyler's playground!
Yeah Thirst the "Nazi" jibe is getting really tired. I mean what exactly does it mean ? Does it mean you are a socialist ? a German ? (that would be racist). A German who was a grown up in the 1930,s perhaps ? Anyway these days it seems with a fresh look at revisionist history sans victors propaganda, far more and greater attrocities were commited against the Germans than by them. Dresden , greatest mass murder in a single day in history, the mass gang rapes of just about any female including children in Germany at the end of the war by Soviet and American troops. the delierate murder of at least 1.2 million German POW,s by the war criminal Eisenhauer , need I go on ...
Say what you want about the tenants of National Socialism, at least it's an ethos~

Come on Dude, let's go bowling
FYI - there's no such thing as Palistinian land. Other than that, carry on.
Who gives a fuck about the Jews?
They ain't sitting on all our oil.
Get a clue. If you're so "outraged" go blow up some shit or stand in front of a dozer.
I'll look for you starring in your own news story.
Choosing which atrocities to condemn and which to be OK with is a personal choice.
A person's choices say a lot about them
Personally, my thinking is that deliberately causing the death of another human being who wasn't trying to hurt/kill you and yours is a bad thing.
I may not agree with you, but it's not my place to tell anyone what to think or believe, but please folks, think about things as if the consequences of your decisions were to be applied to you. It's a good test, IMHO.
Logical. Did I say any atrocities were ok ? you (deliberately?) miss my point . I am saying if calling someone a Nazi is the worst thing you can call someone , how come it is,nt also really bad to call someone a Bolshevic or Soviet or Yankee GI, or British Tommy as those groups in costumes all did just as bad and more numerous evils as the German "Nazis". Is that logical enough for you MAN ?
I wasn't being critical - just running with the thought.
I'm an anarchist.
Atrocities are NOT OK, no matter who sets the wheels in motion.
Maybe you missed my point.
ZH commentariat reminds blissfully blinkered, compartmentalized, and rabidly anti-Muslim/Islamophobic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_capital_punishment_by_country
This does not include extrajudicial killings such as pumping crime suspects people full of lead, nor does it include war and indirect (such as the destruction of infrastructure or blockading or orchestration of famine or instigation of revolutions) deaths.
It took the west how many hundreds of years of modernity to stop executing gays and "witches"?
Totentanz I am rabidly against ALL circumcisionist child mutilation cults. Other than that people are free to believe in whatever Big Daddy In the Sky they want to so long as they dont force that belief on me or my children. Whats so hard about that ?
Saudis are Semitic, right? Seriously.
US ally (blank) aborts hundreds of thousands of unborn children every year and euthanizes sick people including children.
Where (blank) is any socialist Euro cunt tree.
We should encourage them to open a chapter/franchise in DC (Capitol and USSC) and NY (Wall St).
That's Hope & Change I can believe in. Heck, I might even take up dancing on NY/Jersey rooftops. /sarc
Yes, considering the solution for ISIS was giving them jobs, this would be appropo.
Miffed
Maybe Guinness should take a film crew out there.
Obama uses the Espionage Act of 1917 to enforce his (and only his) version of apostasy.
You mean some beheaders are more equal than others.....fify
I'd like to get Ned Stark's thoughts on this topic.
Saudi Arabia is responsible for at least 100,000 deaths in Syria with its support of ISIS. How many deaths did SA cause in Afghanistan? Pakistan?
It is a cruel, corrupt, criminal cabal that runs Saudi Arabia and a few beheadings a year is the least of its crimes.
It's just a good thing that Islam isn't a violent, retrograde religion.....Obozo said so and he wouldn't lie.
Debt to the infidels!
We 'haircutted' some folks
