Saudi Arabia has beheaded a Saudi man convicted of gunning down a compatriot in a dispute over farm land. The execution raised to at least 21 the number of people put to death this year in the desert kingdom, which enforces strict Islamic sharia law.
At least 45 people were executed in the country last year, 75 in 2001 and 121 in 2000.
The Gulf Arab state executes murderers, rapists and drug smugglers - usually by public beheading. - Reuters

Part of me thinks "this is disgusting!" And part of me thinks "... but I bet they don't have a lot of repeat offenders. Sure would take care of child molesters...."

And the point?
Their country, their law, their problem, if it is one.
So long as they do not try to export their problems here they can execute each other daily for all I care.
At least this should keep taxs low, less need to build and staff prisons!
