“Beheading then crucifying doesn’t make much sense.
Was it the other way around?”

Don’t think so

It says in the article they crucified the beheaded body and put on display as an example... And I mean, in public. Ya know, no sympathy for the bastard, but dayum, that’s got to be a health hazard (not to mention gross).

Humiliation of a corpse is probably a deterrent.

Well, it was pretty hazardous to his health.

“It is horrific that beheading and crucifixions still happen,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui of Amnesty International in a statement Friday.

“King Abdullah should show true leadership and commute all death sentences if Saudi Arabia is to have any role to play as a global leader or member of the G20,” said Sahraoui.

I remember when Amnesty International was about exposing abuses of political prisoners. Now they are defending murdering child molesters.

Did they behead him first, then crucify him or the other way around?

“Broken clock Sharia justice.”

Yeah, even these vermin can get it right at least once in a while...I guess the ACLU hasn’t worked its magic there yet...

Okay, that does make sense.

But is it really crucifixion? When the Tudors executed people and left parts of their dead bodies hanging on spikes or fences, we don't say that they were impaled.

Er, ... anybody else feel uncomfortable talking about this?

“Well I fail to see why they did both.”

Hmmmmm...looking for logic with these guys? If I remember the same tribe killed some contractors, shot them, hung them from a bridge and then SET THEM ON FIRE...woof...

Crucifying the headless body in a public place is a way to set an example, according to the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam.

The English were so much more civilized in the 16th century with mere gibbeting; hanging the perp and leaving the corpse on display until it was picked clean by the buzzards.

Yeah, don't hold your breath Mr. Sahraoui.

Did they sew his head back on or set it on the ground?

Did they use a cross or an X?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Not if the girl was over, say 12 years old. After that, females lose their status as human beings and fall somewhere below cattle in the rankings. Maybe a deeper bow from Hussien Obama on his upcoming trip will make things right.
