A Different Drummer


They don't mess about in Saudi Arabia...

There is only one place in the world that can generate news stories with paragraphs like this:
Crucifying the headless body in a public place is a way to set an example, according to the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam. Normally those convicted of rape, murder and drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia are just beheaded.

They beheaded AND crucified the guy.

    I do like the paragraph that you chose but also enjoyed this little quote:

    'Friday's execution brought the number to 35 beheading(s) this year in the kingdom. In 2008, 102 people were beheaded.'

    Pleasing and warming to the soul
