Guess Which Middle-East 'State' Just Beheaded Its 100th Person This Year?
Nope, not ISIS... US ally Saudi Arabia just beheaded its 100th person of the year, as AFP reports, topping 2014's entire year's total of 97 already...
As AFP reports,
Saudi Arabia on Monday beheaded a Syrian drug trafficker and a national convicted of murder, taking to 100 the number of executions in the kingdom this year.
The number of executions has surged in 2015 compared with the 87 recorded by AFP for all of last year. But it is still far below the record 192 which rights group Amnesty International said took place in 1995.
Syrian Ismael al-Tawm smuggled "a large amount of banned amphetamine pills into the kingdom", said an interior ministry statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
He was beheaded in the northern region of Jawf.
A separate statement said that Rami al-Khaldi was convicted of stabbing another Saudi to death and was executed in the western province of Taef.
Drug and murder convictions account for the bulk of executions in Saudi Arabia.

This close US ally is described as following by Amnesty International...
The government severely restricted freedoms of expression, association and assembly, and cracked down on dissent, arresting and imprisoning critics, including human rights defenders. Many received unfair trials before courts that failed to respect due process, including a special anti-terrorism court that handed down death sentences. New legislation effectively equated criticism of the government and other peaceful activities with terrorism. The authorities clamped down on online activism and intimidated activists and family members who reported human rights violations. Discrimination against the Shi’a minority remained entrenched; some Shi’a activists were sentenced to death and scores received lengthy prison terms. Torture of detainees was reportedly common; courts convicted defendants on the basis of torture-tainted “confessions” and sentenced others to flogging. Women faced discrimination in law and practice, and were inadequately protected against sexual and other violence despite a new law criminalizing domestic violence. The authorities detained and summarily expelled thousands of foreign migrants, returning some to countries where they were at risk of serious human rights abuses. The authorities made extensive use of the death penalty and carried out dozens of public executions.

Why doesn’t America export the electric chair to Saudi Arabia or the death by injection or train them for death by firing squad?
That’s way more human no?
And who better then America to do so as they are number 1 in executions in the west.
The kettle that calls...
It's kinda messy too.
Don't they have rope?
At least it's a lot faster than stoning them to death
But they would miss out on all the pain. It's bloody and gruesome, on purpose.
This "head" count is no doubt true, but when ISIS captures a town, they go on an orgy of rape and murder, directed at other religions, opposing soldiers, officials, and their families. Hence, the mass of refugees running in all directions.
ZH is too busy hating America to recognize a truly cruel, savage, and brutal, out of control mob, posing as an army.
LOL!
"FACT SHEET: United States-Saudi Arabia Bilateral Relationship
In his meetings with King Abdullah in Riyadh, President Obama reiterated the significance the United States places on its strong relationship with Saudi Arabia, which has endured for over 80 years. The United States and Saudi Arabia are working together to address a number of critical bilateral and regional issues, including resolving the crisis in Syria, preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, counterterrorism efforts to combat extremism, and supporting negotiations to achieve Middle East peace."
https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/03/28/fact-sheet-united...
"Saudi Arabia continued in 2014 to try, convict, and imprison political dissidents and human rights activists solely on account of their peaceful activities. Systematic discrimination against women and religious minorities continued. Authorities failed to enact systematic measures to protect the rights of 9 million foreign workers. As in past years, authorities subjected hundreds of people to unfair trials and arbitrary detention. New anti-terrorism regulations that took effect in 2014 can be used to criminalize almost any form of peaceful criticism of the authorities as terrorism."

So, your point is . . . what?
Maybe bank fraud, securities fraud and lying to Congress deserves a little off the top also.
The dudes in the picture are all using a very weak grip which will cause slices.
Ah, behold the carefully coordinated PR war against Saudi Arabia, including the "28 pages" outrage. This is to turn the American public favor against SA so that when Iran gets a nuke, we wont care too much because them SA's had it coming. Before that point though comes a LOT of arms sales to the other ME countries courtesy of the US MIC. Its a grand plan. Welcome to the nascient ME arms race. Buckle up.
Do not forget they also *love* raping lots of Swedish women to the point that the Swedish women were wearing burkahs and posing as muslim women
"
ISLAMIC INVASION OF SWEDEN HAS LED TO RAPE CRISIS.Muslims raped over 300 Swedish children and 700 women in first 7 months of 2013 TIP OF THE ICEBERG as 90 percent of them go unreported
In the first seven months of 2013, over 1,000 Swedish women reported being raped by Muslim immigrants in the capital city of Stockholm. Over 300 of those were under the age of 15. The number of rapes is up 16% so far this year compared to 2012 numbers. A large proportion of the increase include rape of young [pre-teen] girls. [Bing translated]
The official radio report quoted from BRÅ (The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention) refuses to mention the M-word in the socialist-suffocated Sweden, a country held hostage by the extreme left. But when you contact senior police and government sources they confirm (anonymous in fear of losing their jobs) that these numbers represent Muslims. And a majority of these rapes and sexual assaults are caused by Malmström’s new arrivals, the asylum seekers.

Timmay said he was not a banker... he is a life-long government lackey. Allowing him to open is piehole is like watching a Knucklehead Smith have his jaws flapped.
NSA are like, sooo jealous.
My point is that sane adults don't only notice rape and murder when it fits a predetermined political agenda.
Hating men and America are also damn queer ways of running a business. Many things here do not compute.
Plus we are sorry that we created ISIS and the clusterfuck we created when we invaded Iraq because of 9/11 or WMD or ???? .... why did we invade???
To support the hegemony of the petrodollar.
you mean the america that created, funded and armed ISIS? You fucking dipshit.
Kaiser, we've been absorbed by the Borg of something-or-other-think in an attempt to discredit the entire site, methinks.
Those seemingly professing clarity make no more sense than the MSM, act within the diktats of demean, distract and discredit, concluding that we might be dealing with "propagandists."
That or the crib has become a serious nutcase magnet for the terminally delusional.
Or maybe all the above?
I'm good with the "all of the above", my brother.
Since the US funded both of these groups.. either thorugh buying their oil or using them .. in the case of the Saudis .. remember . it was the SAUDIS behind 911 .. it was 15 Saudis who supposedly flew aircraft into US buildings... its the Saudis who fund terrorism worldwide.. as for ISIS . who provided the money and weapons for them .. WE DID .. Lt. Col Anthony SHaffer who was one of the top DoD inteligence agents re bin Laden in the 90s .. will tell you who is behind much ofthe terrorism worldwide.. the Saudis .. ISIS is a johnny come lately in that regard... another botch by the US . Saudis and Qatar .. some from Libya .. bringing weapons we provided to the so called 'rebels' .. they ended up in Syris as part of FSA before it morphed into ISIS ... Kaiser because most on ZH do not go along with the govt. line of bujllshit hardly makes them haters of America . unlike some on this blog .. who drink the kool aid and cover for evil .. these savage ISIS players.. are the same groups we trained in Jordan and Iraq and Turkey .. they have US equipment .. whether they turned on us . .or this is part of the big game plan . who knows .. but the fact is all in all the Saudis and US have more blood on their hands than ISIS .. given ISIS is the frankenstein monster we created .. https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=Lt.+col.+anthony+shaffer+on+bin+la...

WTF?
My point is that Saudi Arabia is demonized here, to take attention away from Israel and all the bad behavior that created ISIS.
Many of the nutters posting here are drawn to Mohammadism because the religion approves of sex with nine year old girls and also with sheep and goats. If they move to a muslim dominated country they can get off of the sex offender list and live where they want.
Beheading have always been a part of Islam as Mohammad authorized it. It was on European / western colonialism that caused them to act half civilized for a short period of time.

We should send McCain and Graham over there to make things right.
The first would cut his fingers, and the second woukld drop the sword over one of his feet
I think Barney Frank and Caitlin Jenner would make a great couple and should travel to Riyadh to appeal for more humane treatment of convicts.
Does the head get it's own box at the funeral?
They stick it cradled in your arm, as if you are carrying it.
Why don't we do this in the US instead of farting around with drugs?
A few of us old-school Americans take that whole inalienable rights, and life liberty and the pursuit of happiness thing seriously. But I believe a nation that thinks it's acceptable to ban certain fatty foods and soft drinks sizes should be coming around till you're all way of thinking pretty soon.
topping 2014's
Topping.......was that a Freudian slip???
Like a "haircut" in human resources.
we're only in 5th place (for now)...
So you say it is becoming easier to get a head in Saudi Arabia these days?
A brain tank has a totally different meaning over there :)
they just beheaded some folks
It's a lot easer than giving head apparently!
Better then the racist cops committing genocide against the African Americans like here in the States.
Black kids skipping to church eating skittles just getting mowed down everyday.
Still behind Texas in executions, no?
one more mm towards the middle east solution.
Don't they lob the heads off bung boys there too? And adultress' too - no..., wait a minute..., I think they stone them to death. Real characters those guy are.
SA needs to step up their game. Baltimore already has 123 murders so far in 2015. And these are just the ones they know about. Just goes to show that the private sector is much more efficient.
Well, you figure the punishment seems to be death for anything it seems, that number is extremely high and doesn't seem to be a good deterrent.
if i had to choose between death and living in saudi arabia it would be about a toss up.
lol Here's one for ya Buzz.

The Saudis are best buds with the Bush family. Someone should ask the Jebster what he thinks. Hell, they whack the head off their own princesses.
Shit... charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500.

The Saudies seem to be losing their heads... That must be the reason OPEC won't cut production.
I can't seem to get my head around all of this.
Wow. They are catching up with us *and our proxies*.
I figured North Korea would be higher on the list, but I guess throwing people to hungry dogs is actually feeding hungry dogs..........my bad.
That was a hoax. So were all the other things you read about NK in the American press. Don't be so gullible.
The US murder rate is almost 6 times higher than Saudi Arabia's. If the US rate was decreased to match Saudi Arabia, it would have only around 2500 murders/year instead of over 14,000. So the Saudi approach seems to working well.
It's human right. Stupid
Where's the champion of human rights to speak up about it?
The Smiths have to keep up with the Joneses. Or vice-versa!
Cheap, efficient executions. No room for people to angle the costs via supplying the lethal injection drugs, counselling for the non shooters, golf games for the local utility companies...

A beheading a day keeps the peasants at bay.
The Saudi Royals are animals, dogs. They should all be rounded up and spend their days living in a crowded pig pen, eating pig food.
the only reason for china to execute them in that numbers is to harvest their organs
actually there are concentration camps in china where they have to work on deathly job, but if they see a healthly person, they will take his organs and sell them into the worlds black market
dont forget, rich people dont wait for organs on a list
in india and poor asian countrys there is big black market for organs, in east-europe there is one (ukraine got its black market organ boom now) in africa there is one. but china is doing it more or less officially. you can get fresh harvested organs from "criminals"
i believe the number of "execution in china is related to the number of orders, witch are made by dealers
How much, do you think, could I get right now for my Wurlitzer?
You are completely full of shit. go back to your trailer park and Fox News.
You'll notice Israel isn't on the beheading list. They're content to be number one on the betipping list.
To skirt their no capital punishment hypocrisy, they just force bad Palestinians into a building and hit it with a missile.
A new religion is on the rise. It is known as Ismellon. Its symbol is a slice of watermellon and a star.
So what? Beheading, if done properly, is probably no more or less humane than many other forms of execution by the state.
wait a minute
1) If they go unreported, how does a snake oil salesman such as yourself know about them? Do you have a Ouija Board/Tush?
2) Did it ever occur to you, given the high level of intellect here at zh, to calculate executions ON A PER CAPITA BASIS. And watch Saudi Arabia land on the moon?
Do the above figures for the United States include those executed by the police?
Kchrisc- You're big on this beheading thing - what do you think -- sword or guillotine ? Lots more mobility wIth the sword but will defer to you
Wouldn't want to meet Allah with a dripping sword in my hand. These nincompoops are literally playing with fire.
If I were going to be executed, (heaven forbid) I think it would be kind of cool to be held aloft by my hair so that I could watch my headless body twitching and flinching for the 15 or 20 seconds that body-less heads are said to survive and maintain consciousness.

Here's the basic pitch from the surgeon who wants to perform first ever head transplanthttp://www.businessinsider.com/pitch-from-the-surgeon-who-wants-to-perform-first-ever-head-transplant-2015-6
If you count the extrajudicial executions (murders) by American police, America is ranked between China and Iran.
When I flew into Kuwait City in January 2002 for my part of OEF they kind of let you know on the immigration cards you fill out before departing the aircraft. In bold big red letters in English and Arabic "Death for ALL drug traffickers." I did get to see three idiots hung promptly after their trial for the rape and murder of a Bangladeshi house maid.
