Saudi Arabia carried out at least 157 executions in 2015, with beheadings reaching their highest level in the kingdom in two decades, according to several advocacy groups that monitor the death penalty worldwide.
Coinciding with the rise in executions is the number of people executed for non-lethal offenses that judges have wide discretion to rule on, particularly for drug-related crimes.
Rights group Amnesty International said in November that at least 63 people had been executed since the start of the year for drug-related offenses. That figure made for at least 40 percent of the total number of executions in 2015, compared to less than four percent for drug-related executions in 2010. Amnesty said Saudi Arabia had exceeded its highest level of executions since 1995, when 192 executions were recorded.
But while most crimes, such as premeditated murder, may carry fixed punishments under Saudi Arabia's interpretation of the Islamic law, or Shariah, drug-related offenses are considered "ta'zir", meaning neither the crime nor the punishment is defined in Islam. ...

Typical head-chopping-happy moozlums...chop, chop, chop. I’d say their culture leaves a lot to be desired.
Typical moozlum conversation: Mom: Let’s go down to the square with the kiddies to see heads getting lopped off. Dad: Only after i beat you in front of the kids.
Knob polishing?
We learn from this article that Sharia Law, like Communism, is a perfect system. It just hasn’t been done right yet. < / sarcasm >
Saudi Arabia the land of enlightenment. /s
Yes. Allah is great!! But worth losing your head, hand or other over??
Nyaaaa.
The black tar heroin, spread only by Mexican illegal aliens, is extremely addictive and deadly, the dealers often giving free samples to youngsters. If we started chopping the heads of these dealers, like the Saudi’s do in drug cases, we would see a huge drop in the problem.
Beheading...in public? Maybe not.
Saudi version of Texas saying, “He/she just needed beheadin’”
Wahhabism is the font source is nearly all Islamist and Jihadi movements. And the Saudis are the wardens of this evil creed. These Satanic monsters still behead, flog, and crucify human beings over matters of personal conscience, treat women as chattals, demonize Jews and Israel and fund mosques and imams in western countries which preach hate for Christianity, Judaism and all other religions, even non-Wahhabi Muslims. The Saudi Kingdom is a sore in the rectum of the human race and I hope I live long enough to see these pigs overthroen.
While here in this Civil Country the human right groups are trying to get rid of our Death Penalty and our prison system but not a peep out of them about the barbaric muslim butchery!!!!
“... least 63 people had been executed since the start of the year for drug-related offenses....”
Drugs good enough to die for!!!
America needs the death penalty for drug dealers. But drug dealers and the money the contribute to campaigns are a core constituency for the Democrats, so Obama is putting them all back on the streets.
