Saudi Arabia: So Many Beheadings, Not Enough ‘Executioners’

In Saudi Arabia, Sharia law leads to the beheading deaths of scores of tortured prisoners.

Sharia law is intolerant and brings death.

Under ‘enlightened’ Sharia law, the dead continue to pile up. Liberals who preach tolerance apparently have no concern for homosexuals in Saudi Arabia who are being brutally executed, and in one reported case, crucified.

The Sun reported:

Five of the men brutally beheaded in Saudi Arabia were secret gay lovers tortured into terror confessions, it’s been claimed.

One of the 37 “militants” ruthlessly executed during a single bloody day last week is said to have admitted to having sex with four of the others.

However, many believe the admissions—along with others released during their one-sided court trials—may have been obtained under torture.

The Shia man’s “homosexual relationships” appeared in paperwork alleging he also confessed to hating the Saudi state, documents obtained by CNN show.

Homosexuality is punishable by death in the Gulf state which strictly adheres to Sharia law.

The man reportedly denied all the charges against him and his lawyer claimed the confession was totally fabricated.

The backward country executes men and women for engaging in homosexual activity although it does release any official figures about how many gay people it beheads every year.

In 2009, a man named Ahmed bin ‘Adhaib bin ‘Askar al-Shamlani al-‘Anzi was executed for a number of charges including “homosexual intercourse” and possession of pornography.

He had his head removed in front of a baying crowd in Riyadh before his body was crucified and put on display.

And the persecution of gay people has continued under supposedly moderate Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, say campaigners.

Last Tuesday one prisoner was crucified and another had his head impaled on a spike during dozens of sickening executions held over one day in the ruthless kingdom.

Those killed during the beheading bloodbath had all been convicted of “terrorism offenses” in the hardline desert country.


Saudi authorities later revealed one person was crucified after his execution – a punishment reserved for what are deemed very serious offences.

It also publicly placed the executed body and severed head of a convicted Sunni extremist on a spike as a warning to others.

Law-makers said the men were charged with “adopting terrorist extremist ideology, forming terrorist cells” and harming the “peace and security of society”.

One of the men executed was just 16 at the time of his arrest, according to Amnesty International.


Amnesty International said they were convicted “after sham trials” that relied on confessions extracted through torture.


Among those slaughtered was Abdulkarim al-Hawaj, 21, just a schoolboy when he was detained and accused of being a “terrorist” for sending texts online about an anti-government demonstration.


It said the individuals had been found guilty according to the law and ordered executed by the Specialized Criminal Court in Riyadh, which handles terrorism trials, and the country’s high court.


At least 14 others executed were convicted of violent offenses related to their participation in anti-government demonstrations in Shiite-populated areas of Saudi Arabia between 2011 and 2012.



He appears to have been convicted as a Sunni militant, though the government did not give a detailed explanation of the charges against each individual executed.

The killings brings the number of people executed since the start of the year to around 100, according to official announcements.

Last year, the kingdom executed 149 people, most of them drug smugglers convicted of non-violent crimes, according to Amnesty’s most recent figures.

The country shows a portrait of the ‘tolerance’ to expect under sharia law. People who continue to claim Islam is a peaceful religion are liars. There is nothing peaceful about the ‘faithful’ slaughtering people there is only death, hate, and evil.
