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.

Executions and death sentence statistics worldwide: interactive
The Islamic kingdom is in the top five countries in the world for putting people to death, rights groups say. It ranked third in 2014, after China and Iran, and ahead of Iraq and the United States, according to Amnesty International figures.

Behead the applicants waiting in the lobby and you’d be ahead in the interview process.

“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.

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