These stories from Saudi Arabia feel like they’re coming from 250 B.C. instead of 2018 A.D.
The Kingdom happens to be the 2nd largest importer of petroleum to the U.S. behind only Canada.
It seems as though Saudi Arabia, too, is going through civil strife especially since the purge of the House of Saud and many of its royalty after the death of King Abdullah in 2015, ordered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. ..
Let us not forget the official 9-11 narrative suggests that 15 of the 19 hijackers responsible for the 9-11 attacks were Saudi Arabian citizens…
U.S. federal courts upheld the congressional bill that would allow for family members of 911 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for damages.

Yup, same place where female activists are being round up and detained, the supposed reasoning for the diplomatic spat with Canada…
Are higher gas prices or supply disruptions on the horizon for Canadians and Americans?
As far as the cruxifictions, I guess it cuts down on crime if you put the dead criminals on public display as a warning.
I gotta through Trump in here somewhere just for shits and giggles
Saudi Arabia Crucifies Myanmar Man for Theft and Murder
BySaudi Arabia executed and crucified a Myanmar man in the holy city of Mecca on Wednesday in a rare form of punishment reserved for the most egregious crimes.
Elias Abulkalaam Jamaleddeen was accused of breaking into the home of a woman from Myanmar, firing a weapon in it then repeatedly stabbing her, which led to her death, the official Saudi Press Agency reported, citing an Interior Ministry statement. He was also accused of stealing weapons and trying to kill another man whose home he broke into, as well as attempting to rape a woman.
The ruling was supported by the country’s supreme court and endorsed by the king.
Crucifixions in Saudi Arabia entail hanging a body in public after an execution, and are unusual. A Yemeni man was crucified in 2010 for raping and killing a girl and shooting dead her father.
So what is the problem here?
Really! What? I’m supposed to feel sorry for some thief who stabbed to death an innocent woman? Nope … not me.
Oh, but it’s so cruel!!! Oh yeah? And zapping someone with electricity isn’t?
There’s no nice way to kill someone. If a scumbag murderer, rapist, etc. suffers a few minutes before he/she croaks … well, too fucken bad!
I don’t have a moral problem with doing anything terrible to a guy like that. Same with the death penalty in the US. You kill someone, you deserve to get killed back. What I do have, however, is trust issues. I don’t trust any of the world’s irredeemably corrupt governments to do that fairly, and to not execute innocents.
Not so much a problem, just noting the writing on the wall in Saudi Arabia…
I wonder how long before war comes knocking on its door.
Depends on what the price of oil does. Right now they are able to placate the masses with sraps from the royal table. But they are burning through the cash doing so. So much in that region is subsidized by government. It works with high oil prices, but they’ve been burning through their cash reserves. Their senseless war in Yemen isn’t helping matters either. Eventually the Saudi royals will wind up with their heads on pikes.
Not so much the zapping or killing I suppose, just the public display of the body seems quite divergent from the insulated and sheltered in America…
Can you say PTSD for the average Millenial snowflake?
To crucify is to use a living body. To display a dead body is to gibbet them (sometimes they were dying). More effective as to deter the viewer. Better yet lock them in a gibbet while live after receiving their 100 lashes until the crows have feasted on them. The ruins of Detroit would be a place to put all the condemned in gibbets with a website to view each via their own webcam. Justice baby!
The US needs to cut ties with Saudi Arabia. They were behind 9/11 and have an atrocious human rights record. The NK has nothing on Saudi Arabia. Next to Israel, they are the most evil entity in the Mid East.
