You can't rob your mother, but it's ok to kill or behead Americans. Am I right so far?

Probably the Saudi justice system should be brought to California - the backlog on Death Row would certainly be cleared out a lot faster.
And that may not be as far-fetched as some may think. As the Anglos and even the Hispanics are driven or priced out, the new exodus from the Middle East shall come crowding in, and that will have the effect of changing the administration of police and civil functions to Shar'ia law.

OK, nobody's paying attention. This is the most critical question facing mankind!

Good question.
And even better question would be: "Have these people ever heard of something called the Geneva Convention?"

Maybe they should shoot him, and electrocute him, just to make sure. Do they whip dead horses too?

They cut your head off first and then display your body on a cross
The public display after execution is normally reserved for people who do really henious crimes
Killing your mama qualifies

Oliver Cromwell was hanged, beheaded and gibbeted two years after he died.

How can one be beheaded AND crucified?The nails don't go through the head. You don't need a head, just arms and legs to crucify a body. It seems like a classic case of 'overkill', but that's the Saudis.

It seems to me that how is a minor question. After all, its just crucifying a headless body. Or behead them after they're crucified.
But the WHY ... that's the salient point.
You behead someone as a quick method of execution. You crucify someone as a slow means of execution. It seems that the two means of execution are at loggerheads here.
Of course, this is Islam we're talking about here so logic takes a holiday.

They cut your head off first and then display your body on a cross I see that "display" is the operative word.
Maybe we should try this technique in Fallujah or Mosul? Maybe Samatra too?

I wonder if they plop the head back on top of the body for the display, or do they just nail up the body and have the head on a pike nearby?

....in line with Shariah, the legal code of Islam, which is applied in the
conservative Muslim kingdom. This is in the Washington Times????!!!???
The Saudis are not convervatives....they're radicals.

if only we could be seeing this headline pertaining
to Saddam Hussein , it's about what he deserves.

The whole purpose behind the kingdom's elimination of the Ikwhan seems to have been lost on Saudi Arabia's present rulers.
I think that the only way they'll ever wake up is when-not if-a prominent member of the royal family is eliminated by one of these Koran-thumping lunatics.

I'd say it's overkill but I hear tomorrow he'll be diced and pureed and the remains thrown to the dogs, and his head used for a bowling ball. /;)

It sounds to me like they used the equivalent of the portable guillotine, and placed this miscreant's body on display for public education purposes.
Come on folks, tell me you haven't wanted to see Charlie Manson get the same treatment. Wouldn't bother me a bit!

No, they use a sword.
Not a very big one either. It looks like an officer's dress sword - like the Mameluke sword the Marines use.
The executioner wields it one handed
It must be very very sharp
