When you're in a foreign country working as a helper / slave. You chance of survival or winning the case is slim to none. Coming from a friend who worked there as one. The first thing employers take is the passport.

I'm no longer shocked by anything that happens in the blood thirsty murderous mafia they call Islam.

So electrocuting someone is okay? Hanging someone is okay?

 

[oil&gas]

Provided that its execution is quick and smooth beheading inflicts less
pain than electrocuting and hanging which are more inhumane. It is a
messy way to kill though. I'd say beheading is backward and ancient as
a method of execution. However thats not what makes death penalty in SA
more outrageous than in China and Texas.

It is a shithole foreign money huggers want to jump into. Try get a job as an engineer there.

If done right, chopping off a head would be fairly efficient and humane - definitely better than electricity or hanging as other have mentioned.

That said, I remember reading about victims of the guillotine in France who would respond to questions for quite some time before death set in. Presumably, the brain continue to work despite the head being separated from the body for a time. Makes sense, but I'm not about to test it out.

I would think that being blown to bits by high explosives would be fairly quick and painless, but other than that, you're going to feel it.

As to the poor girl in question, it's not clear whether she killed the child or not. One thing is for sure. She got blamed for it and in Saudi, I would not ever want to stand before their legal system because the whole thing is a giant kangaroo court.

There is some outrage over this as the girl was 17 at the time of the alleged killing. But in Saudi Arabia they also cut your hand or arm, or foot with a knife. There is a video around which shows them cutting a foot and a hand off while the guy is tied up and screaming. I saw one where they cut off the guys penis. Shithole is right

sure...would you be cool if we did the same to Nazi Germany? or Japa..oh wait.

This is why sane nations, Canada Britain. USA Australia and many other allies must stay vigilante in the fight against terrorism and unethical, non demo ratio behavior in these backwards countries. UNICEF, the churches, RED CROSS, the UN must all stay the course and bring these countries out of the Stone Age. The fact that oil is involved should not take us off the course of human progress for the stricken.

Saudi is firmly on the list of the allies of the west. They must be good guys.
We don't nuke our pal.

 

[bobistheowl]

One would think that an autopsy could have determined the cause of death. A strangulation should show visible evidence of trauma on the neck. You wouldn't expect to see that, if the child had died by choking on a liquid.

And how do you change the way people think? How do you change what they believe? It's ingrained in their culture and the only proven method that works is through education. Unfortunately change through education can take a very long time...........generations sometimes!

Yes, it's true. Saudia Arabia is an ally to the USA and UK and other "civilized" nations.

 

[CapitalGuy]

We can shit on SA all we want, but we will spend more time talking about which gas guzzling German car will be our next purchase, and where we will land after our next 10 hour flight, all that crap. We all consume Saudi energy, directly or indirectly. We all suck, in terms of trading our own comfort and fun while humanity suffers on the other side of the planet. Me included, I suck. So do you.
