Sharia Alert from the Islamic Holy Land. By Donna Abu-Nasr for Associated Press (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Rizana Nafeek, a 19-year housemaid from Sri Lanka, is on death row because the baby in her care died while she was bottle-feeding him. If her appeal is turned down, she will be taken to a public square to be publicly beheaded.The Sri Lankan government says it is working for a reprieve, and has until Monday to file the plea. A last-minute pardon by the infant's parents could also spare her. But if her execution goes ahead, it will be the latest in a surge of beheadings that could surpass the kingdom's record of 191 in 2005.
After dropping to 38 last year, the figure for 2007 is already at least 102, including three women, according to Amnesty International.
Beheading has always been the punishment meted out to murderers, rapists, drug traffickers and armed robbers in Saudi Arabia. Whether what Nafeek did amounts to murder has never been spelled out by courts or other officials, but Saudi authorities, facing sustained criticism from foreign human rights groups, insist they are simply enforcing God's law.
In Saudi Arabia, it's tails you win and heads you lose.
Those ignorant Saudis! They don't even know their own religion. The PC crowd and Bush better explain their religion to them.
If she would just write a children's book, Hollywood will rally to her defense.
and OBL seeks to overthrow the Saudi government becuase they are not muslim enough. Perhaps this is part of a campaign to show they ain't so soft after all.
When half of those beheaded are foreigners, you know these poor foreigners don't stand a chance against their Saudi employers. Saudis are always right and the foreigners are always at fault.
Why do we treat these 7th-century savages (the Saudis--princes and all) as a force to be reckoned with?
The oil was given to them by us. It can be taken away.
Worried about the"Arab street" or the billion-and-a-half (or whatever) of Moslems on the world?
Aren't we supposed to be worrying about them already?
Worry + worry = worry. It does not compund. If we could get ourselves to do what needs to be done, all worries would cease.

If we had the mindset of the generation that defeated the Nazis and Japanese, we would have no worries. We were willing to nuke a nation to win. Now we worry about feelings.
I thought that a muslim was supposed to join the jihad as soon as he could, then make sure to martyr himself...no? Then why are there any muslims still breathing besides infants and children? Any muslim who is still alive, is not a muslim and need not be listened to, ever. For that matter, how come Islam has not killed itself off after only two or three generations? By their logic, all should be dead, leaving no children. Is this not the first question in any debate about Islam?
the hapless housemaid is condemned to death b/c a future jihadist died while in her charge. I wonder whether the sentence would have been so absurdly harsh if the infant had been a girl.

I don't carfe how non PC this is, but I am sick to death of the Saudis and their hypocritical attitudes to life generally. This is the source of most of the funding for madrassas,and probably for not a few terrorist groups. As well as beheadings in Chop-Chop square, there are more slaves(both literally and in fact) in SA than the rest of the world and yet the western leaders suck around them as if they were old war buddies.
add to this the total and shameless forbidin gof any other religion in SA and we should treat them like the ethical lepers that they really are.
It isn't hard to see why so many wonder about the Bush regime when they(and the British) queue up for favours from these desert scum(?oxymoron or camelidiot) and no doubt GBjnr will be working for them after his presidency finishes like his father. It is this plus the blatant western incompetence when it comes to doing something really USEFUL about islam generally that make so many of us totally sceptical at times.
I am on the side of GBjnr I just wish that he and all of the rich western elite really were on MY side.
Allah's law. Allah is NOT G-d.
Elric66 - and the "feelings" of Barbarians.
Why?
Worry + worry = worry. It does not compund. If we could get ourselves to do what needs to be done, all worries would cease.

The combination of fervent lefty self-hating idiocy with pseudo-conservative corruption.. opportunism all around... keeps us from doing what must be done.
It CAN easily be done!
We just have to WANT to do it!
The Saudi's are this worlds most inhumane gouvenrment not yet put on the "axis of evil" list. They rather let young girls burn to deat in a school then let them escape without being dressed in their charador. They recently executed a man who accidently forgot his quran in the the washing-room of a mosk (and yes, the man in question was not a Saudi.)
They even execute people by means of crucifixion (something like this has recently happened to Christians in Iraq too).
They keep their housholdhelp and personell as if they were slaves, islam doesnt prohibit slavery, unless the slave is a muslem.
If these people didnt sit ontop of a huge mount of oil, we would never have heard of them untill a more developed neighboring country runs it over to stop the extremist idea's it would still be exporting. (probably their only exortproduct other then oil right now.)
