Jobs classified as ‘religious functionaries’ at lower end of civil service scale 85 reported executed so far this year, rivalling total for whole of 2014

Saudi Arabia is advertising for eight new executioners, recruiting extra staff to carry out an increasing number of death sentences, usually done by public beheading.

No special qualifications are needed for the jobs whose main role is “executing a judgment of death” but also involve performing amputations on those convicted of lesser offences, the advert, posted on the civil service jobs portal, said.

Executions and death sentence statistics worldwide: interactive

“I heard an atheist/leftist democrat actually say that opposing Sharia in America was suppressing religious freedom.”

I wonder if they feel the same way re the Christian business owners declining to support gay marriage?

Probably not - ‘cuz that’s Christians suppressing the civil rights of homos.

They don’t see and don’t care how hypocritical they are.

Seems ‘the public’ will stone young women for free... but they have to pay people to do the beheading. What a cool culture.../s

You need to have a strong right arm; show proficiency in blade sharpening; and be meticulous in not allowing the desperate screams of the condemned to get to you.

People-persons a plus. Non-smoker preferred.

Lets see... Saudis should hire ISIS members, then teach ISIs how to behead each other.

“I was thinking maybe they’d have them chop up a goat to demonstrate their style, then...dinnertime.”

No way dude, It is strictly against the Koran to kill another man’s wife for no reason.
