Child rapist latest prisoner executed in Saudi Arabia
2014-12-23
[DAWN] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
 on Monday beheaded a child rapist, adding to what activists say is one of the world's highest execution tolls.

The Interior Ministry said Suleiman bin Abdullah had been found guilty of kidnapping a male child, tying him up "and performing the obscene" act.

Authorities carried out the sentence against him in Buraydah city, northwest of Riyadh, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.

He was the latest of 84 Saudis and foreigners to be executed in the kingdom this year, according to an AFP tally.

Rape, murder, drug trafficking, apostasy and armed robbery are punishable by death under Saudi Arabia's strict version of Islamic Shariah law.

#7  It is unfortunate for the executee that he chose to rape a boy. Had he raped a girl of the same age, he would probably still be alive. The girl, of course, would have been executed for adultery.

#6  Grom, Polanski raped an infidel, and uncovered girl infidel at that. They'd probably ask him for advice.

#5  ..why, when he'd be so welcomed in Hollyweird. Although, he'd be looked on as being a bit old fashion in his choice of genders these days.
