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

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.

I wish we could send our violent offenders there for justice. Our so-called justice system has failed us.

Being unemployed this look interesting. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY - wow. Alot of office work and even cleaning homes they want you to have experience. This one doesn’t need it, I don’t think. I guess Obama and his pals did create a job after all.

Their justice system has a LOT more problems than ours does, their system favors the “state” and they end up executing far too many innocents, while our system favors the guilty and end up freeing far too many murderers...

I wonder if they accept Jews for this job? Seems like a good fit to me.

How about we send those convicted of multiple crimes? How about the violent offenders too like the Boston bomber thug that was sentenced to death that will never be put to death.

Perhaps we can send a large number of reporters to cover this important and breaking story. The justice system isn't the only thing broken.

Sit tight. The way they are pushing for sharia law here you may not have long to wait.
