"Convicted murderer Hamida Djandoubi became the last person to meet his end by the National Razor after he was executed by the guillotine in 1977. Still, the machine's 189-year reign only officially came to an end in September 1981, when France abolished capital punishment for good."

Well, Muslims appear to appreciate beheading. What’s good for the goose....
