    I am not certain if they are worse, but It seems that they are more frequent. . .and not always with due process!

    I think public executions are worse because they reminds us of the bloodthirst that lurks in the dark souls of many humans. There is also the fact that what may warrant a death sentence in some countries does not really warrant a death sentence at all anywhere else...or for that matter might not even be a real crime at all.

    Saudi trials are tried before multiple judges.

    The accused does have a lawyer.. or, are you saying they don't have the same laws we have in the US?

    I never mentioned anything about lawyers. I mentioned why I think public executions are barbaric and that there are crimes that would not warrant death sentences in most other places and some that are not even crimes at all.

    didn't you hear?

    we should let the Saudis evolve in their own time.

    if they want to behead Gays and idolators, that's their business.

    You just make this **** up as you go along.

    Men who are meeting for the first time or know each other casually will shake hands; men who are close friends or family will also add a kiss on each cheek.
