Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Saudis execute 134 so far this year, many by beheading and crucifixion

Sep 18, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Barbaric crucifixions are on the rise in Saudi Arabia…”

What did anyone expect?

“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.” (Qur’an 5:33)

“The savage methods of the regime’s growing number of executions were labelled “shocking” by the report, with witnesses reporting public beheadings, often taking place en masse.”

Again, what did anyone expect?

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

Saudi Arabia is a Sharia state. This is how Sharia states behave — while Islamic spokesmen in the West continue to insist that Sharia is entirely benign.

“Saudi Arabia executes 134 as crucifixions rise – with 3 children at risk of death,” by Talia Shadwell, Mirror, September 16, 2019:

Barbaric crucifixions are on the rise in Saudi Arabia with 134 people executed already this year.

A death penalty watchdog has revealed ‘alarming’ rise in state executions in the country – including crucifixions.

A report claims more than 130 people have been executed this year already – with at least 24 more at “imminent” risk of execution, including three children.

The skyrocketing number reportedly included at least six teens executed this year for “crimes” they were accused of carrying out as children.

And the surge has come despite a pledge from Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince to reduce the use of the death penalty amid international disgust.

he [sic] Death Penalty Project (DPP) watchdog’s report on the executions says political figures, clerics and human rights defenders have been targeted, with individuals facing death for ‘crimes’ from expressing anti-government views on Facebook to bringing water to protesters.

The report, presented to the 42nd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council over the weekend, urged world leaders to boycott Saudi Arabia’s turn to host the G20 Summit next year.

The DDP says global pressure must be applied to convince Saudi Arabia to uphold international human rights standards, and place a moratorium on any further death sentences and executions.

The DPP’s report highlighted that detainees are being tortured and face “grossly unfair” trials culminating in death sentences.

Among the executions carried by the brutal regime highlighted in the report was a mass execution of 37 men on April 23.

Most were members of Saudi Arabia’s Shia minority, arrested over their participation in protests during the Arab Spring period, and tortured and convicted in sham mass trials.

The savage methods of the regime’s growing number of executions were labelled “shocking” by the report, with witnesses reporting public beheadings, often taking place en masse….

      No, terry, and shame on you. These people are denied their human rights.

      UN Committee against Torture to review Saudi Arabia

      https://www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=19837&LangID=E

      GENEVA (19 April 2016) – The UN Committee against Torture is due to review Saudi Arabia on 22 and 25 April in sessions that will be webcast live. Saudi Arabia has ratified the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and so is required to be reviewed regularly by the Committee.

      Among the possible issues for discussion between CAT members and a delegation from the Saudi government are:
      · Prohibition of corporal punishment such as flogging and amputation of limbs; reported incommunicado pre-trial detention;
      · Independence of the judiciary;
      · Violence against women;
      · Protection of human rights defenders and journalists from reprisals, harassment, intimidation and arrest;
      · Detention conditions;
      · Investigation and prosecution of complaints of torture and ill-treatment;
      · Legal prohibition of use of statements obtained as result of torture;
      · Elimination of death penalty for non-violent crimes and offences such as “sorcery”, “adultery” and “apostasy”;
      · Torture and ill-treatment of migrant workers.

        Well, if we forced them to accept an Israeli military protectorate as Ive suggested, we might also enforce the above human rights protections, even for their own citizens, why, maybe even for women. Till then I kind of sympathise with terry sullivan. The fact that every Muslim is a victim does not make them any less dangerous.

        That is a fairly extensive list of problems with the Saudi government and social system.
        I have witnessed better in third world countries.
        If it wasn’t for that black stuff coming out of the ground nobody would have anything to do with this barbaric dictatorship.
        Having said that, when I read about the Crucifixions the twisted side of my brain went to the scene from the Monty Python film The Life of Brian.
        “Crucifixion? First door on the left, one cross, one cross only”.

          The Saudi’s treatment of those who dare protest is proof that Saudi Arabia IS a third world country.

        Mortimer, if the Saudis respected human rights and did all the things you suggested, they’d be forced to become democratic. Once that happened, al Qaeda is the party that would be elected to running that country, given that their education system is one giant madrassah

    I would execute only murderers, or people who force women to prostitution or who made something really cruel (for example acid attack). But no stoning or beheading. 21st century.
    I hope one day Saudi Arabia will not exist. A disgusting stone age country.

    Those in power in the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia are extremely cruel and murderous in many ways .

    The Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia is a kingdom of callous brutal misogyny of the most heinously heartless kind there is.

    An example, only a few years ago in Saudi Arabia a girls dorm caught of fire, the girls naturally rushed out of that dorm that was on fire . In their hast to escape the flames they forgot to take and put on their face veils. Those Islamic state police of Saudi Arabia with this totally unreasonable and heartless Islamic mindset forced all the girls back into the dorm that was on fire. Only because they didn’t have their face veils. So all those girls did a horrible painful death .This is worse than tragic and sad, this is the murderous misogyny of the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

      No longer “only a few years ago”. This fire occurred on March 11, 2002. See

    In Islamic nation of Sunni Saudi Arabia there is an insidious spreading of the brutal and cruel affront of Female Genital mutilation.

    Now this hideous and vicious Islamic tradition of female butchery which some Muslims so inappropriately call “female circumcision’ has spread like an infectious disease , or a plague , even to the Western countries .
    This heinous Islamic custom of misogyny has been exposed in the book by Brigitte Gabriel which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED. For on page 178 it reveals to the reader that “One of the most devastating practices to young girls of the Islamic world is female genital mutilation. Young girls have their clitoris removed without anesthesia…”

    Indeed, they must be stopped !

    The heart of Islam Saudi Arabia, terrorizing its own…sharia law implemented to” control population” instilling fear. Terrorizing children despicable. The tolerant religion, fake I wish had not terrorized the world with hijackers and strategic deceptive influence to hide all accurate information. Crash landing a helicopter on a roof of bar was my first clue…whats’ going on in Scotland. Curious Clever.

      True–the brutal Saudis are *not* our friends, nor are they our allies.

    The US is not, or rather should not, be the policeman of the world. We often meddle in other countries on the pretext of installing a representative government or ending abuses of the people, and most of the time end up making things worse. Syria is a prime example; the US under the Obama administration was giving covert support to ISIS, al-qaeda, and other assorted Muslim fanatic groups to over throw the Assad regime. The rationale was, the Assad regime was oppressive. To be truthful, I still don’t see what the motivation was for Hillary and company to destabilize the Syrian government.

    Anyway, our best response to Saudi actions is…no response at all. The US is energy-independent now, due to fracking. We are not dependent on oil shipping routes. If the Saudis get bogged down in Yemen, not our concern. If they get into a dispute with Iran, not our concern. If they crucify half their population…not our concern. Our interests do lie in keeping Saudis out of the US, and also not allowing Saudi money to buy political influence in the US.

    Whenever I read reports like this one, I always think that we truly are living in a world with a massive divide between the civilised world, where people are living in the 21st century, and the barbaric Muslim world, where primitive Sharia law reigns. Saudi Arabia just seems like a country run by a bunch of knuckle dragging neanderthals. But that’s what Islam and Sharia law are, a way of living fit for knuckle draggers. Human beings shouldn’t be living like this. It is such a massive divide between the worlds where people are living a reasonably humane style of life and these completely barbaric Muslim backwaters.

      That’s not what your government says. The US government has its arm around Saudi Arabia no matter what the Saudis do, even after 9/11. Why aren’t the US people protesting to their reps about the cozy relationship with the Saudis? Seems to me oil trumps morals in that relationship.

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 20, 2019 at 1:46 am

        I have often criticized the foolish and oddly durable belief that the thuggish Saudis are American allies.

        And yes–some of us regularly protest this idiocy. As for oil, we are largely energy independent at this point.

    Quebec supports Saudi killings when they buy Saudi oil instead of using Canadian oil. Trudeau grovelled to a pissy little Montreal Mayor about stopping an Eastern pipeline which seems to indicate that Trudeau also supports Saudi atrocities.
