Saudi court upholds child rapist crucifixion ruling
RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday.
The convict was arrested earlier this year after a seven-year old boy helped police in their investigation. The child left in the desert after the rape was three years old, Okaz newspaper said.
International rights groups have accused the kingdom, the birthplace of Islam, of applying draconian justice, beheading murderers, rapists and drug traffickers in public. So far this year about 40 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia, crucifixion means tying the body of the convict to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after beheading.

Can murder be deterred in a society? YES. Exhibit A: Saudi Arabia.

Reverent - you should know better - I don't want that a terrible child murderer to die the same way Jesus Christ did . That would put him on the same stage . Dammed - I've got no sympathy at all with people committing crimes on children !

They should crucify him ALIVE. the romans tied their executees to the cross, using a slow painful death. the traditional arab method was beheading, then tying the corpse to the cross for public viewing.

Saudi Arabia uses public beheading as the punishment for murder, rape, drug trafficking, sodomy, armed robbery, apostasy and certain other offences. 2007 was the record year for executions with 153 men and three women executed. Forty five men and two women were beheaded in 2002, a further 52 men and 1 woman in 2003 and 35 men and a woman in 2004. Executions rose in 2005 with 88 men and 2 women being beheaded and then reduced to 35 men and four women in 2006. 102 people were executed in Saudi Arabia during 2008 but it is thought that two of these were by shooting in Asir Province. The condemned of both sexes are typically given tranquillisers and then taken by police van to a public square or a car park after midday prayers. Their eyes are covered and they are blindfolded. The police clear the square of traffic and a sheet of plastic sheet about 16 feet square is laid out on the ground. Dressed in either a white robe or their own clothes, barefoot, with shackled feet and hands cuffed behind their back, the prisoner is led by a police officer to the centre of the sheet where they are made to kneel facing Mecca. An Interior Ministry official reads out the prisoner's name and crime to the crowd. Saudi Arabia uses a traditional Arab scimitar which is 1100-1200 mm long. The executioner is handed the sword by a policeman and raises the gleaming scimitar, often swinging it two or three times in the air to warm up his arm muscles, before approaching the prisoner from behind and jabbing him in the back with the tip of the blade, causing the person to raise their head. (see photo) Then with a single swing of the sword the prisoner is decapitated. Normally it takes just one swing of the sword to sever the head, often sending it flying some two or three feet. Paramedics bring the head to a doctor, who uses a gloved hand to stop the fountain of blood spurting from the neck. The doctor sews the head back on, and the body is wrapped in the blue plastic sheet and taken away in an ambulance. Burial takes place in an unmarked grave in the prison cemetery. Beheadings of women did not start until the early 1990’s, previously they were shot. Forty three women have been publicly beheaded up to the end of 2007. Most executions take place in the three major cities of Riyadh, Jeddah and Dahran. Saudi executioners take great pride in their work and the post tends to be handed down from one generation to the next.
Sounds somewhat like a "finishing move" from the game mortal kombat. "FINISH HIM!!!!!!!"

Yes, no country is all wrong. It is fine we stand proud to not allow those who kill our children and the innocents and not have a DP in place. We do not make public displays to threaten others, our country expects those who commit heinous crimes to know what our laws and consquences are. Also an appeals process, then the humane method of passng, the victim or victims were not entitled too. As fair as any mass system can be and time to say goodbye to family and friends they also hurt deeply to their own selfish horrificly bad choices they made, also e heinous act against all of society. We are not the ones doing heinous acts.
I am proud of my country not bending to pro human rights to the killer myself.

A number of prisoners are on federal death row, yet after almost a year in office, he has yet to commute the sentences of any of them.

Yet strangely no Amnesty international "Action Alerts" over this. If it was a child killer in America, the antis would be lighting up the switchboards quicker than you can say double standards.
