Mighty big of them.

[max americana]

I feel good about this. At least my favorites from the rags such as hanging, decapitation, sawing off hands are still on the board ..

[wastoute]

They are gonna quit flogging people before they behead them. It was barbaric.

[albie]

Key question. What did they replace it with? Those people don’t suddenly go human.

[Dr. Sivana]

I think the new Crown Prince is an improvement. But unless you want to go full revolution or Civil War (which could go either direction), incremental changes are the best way to go.

Yes, in a couple of millennia, the Saudis will be squarely in the 15th Century.

You want to invade and take ownership of the problem?

[LastDayz]

Too bad it’s not available here in the states..... got quite a list of flogees going.

Obliterating the Ka’aba with a cruise missile hit would be a good jolt from the future.

[Sacajaweau]

Stoning still a go??

He’s on very shaky ground having begun the oil war with Russia and the resulting falling Saudi revenues, heading the kingdom in the direction of insolvency and revolt.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Well, it is progress, they are now entering the 17th century........

[Smellin Salt]

“She said activists will also push the UN to adopt a resolution on stoning similar to the one passed last year on eradicating female genital mutilation – another form of violence against women often justified on religious and cultural grounds.”

The UN is a joke.

[existentially_kuffer]

Abolish state controlled religion - Islam!

[Phil DiBasquette]

Then how will morale ever improve? /s

[Lockbar]

What?? No flogging?? I was going to suggest an increase!! (my tag line shows my dark-heart)
