Interesting to see Daily Mail readers, faced with news of a paedophile being beheaded in Saudi Arabia, suddenly showing enthusiasm for Sharia law....

Tough justice: The man lost his appeal at a court in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia A man in Saudi Arabia is to be beheaded and crucified after he raped five children and left one of them, a three-year-old boy, to die in the desert. An appeal court in the capital Riyadh approved the death sentence handed down in June by judges in the northwestern oasis city of Hail where the convicted 22-year-old man carried out his crimes. The rapist - who was not named - was arrested several weeks ago as he tried to seize another boy after offering him a ride home from school. The seven-year-old - who escaped unharmed - helped identify the culprit. The man’s victims were aged between three and seven. He was said to have lured them into his car as they left school at midday and then drove them to remote desert locations to rape them. An investigation was launched after a 25-year-old father reported that his three-year-old son was missing and that he suspected the kidnapper to be a male driver of a white four-wheel drive vehicle. The infant was later found under a scorching sun in the desert where he had died of thirst. A panel of three judges in Hail sentenced the rapist to death for “abhorrent” crimes which they said had terrorised the community. Crucifixion in the conservative desert Kingdom means tying the convict’s body to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after he is decapitated by a professional swordsman. Saudi Arabia has executed 56 people this year under laws that allow the death penalty for rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking. In extreme cases, the convict is executed and his body crucified in public. |

If we had an infallible justice system, I'd be all for the death penalty. But we don't so I couldn't support it.
That said, there are some cases where someone is definitely guilty.

I imagine it cuts down on reoffending too.

there two aspects to this - the death penalty and the preventative aspirations behind the gruesome method in this case.
I don't believe in the death penalty personally but do believe in longer jail terms for murderers than sometimes seems to happen.
this dude is being crucified and beheaded with the aim being to put off someone from committing a similar vile offence. I don't see someone who can morally justify an act to themselves or at least suppress natural revulsion at such acts being put off from doing it because someone was once brutally executed. the possible punishment is rarely what puts people off crime (not that I have any evidence for that just my guess).

Could be worse - could be stabbed. Crucifixion's a doddle.

Surely that counts as cruel and unusual punishment and is against international law? :unsure:

Medieval barbarians, that this is allowed anywhere in the world in the 21st century is appalling.

Probably should do those first two the other way around really.

Good.
Still, crazy assed Muslims, they'd do the same if you wore a dress, right?
Nayan - November 5, 2009 10:11 AM (GMT)
serious question: were the children harmed arabs?
Michael Westen - November 5, 2009 10:15 AM (GMT)
Dunno, unlikely to find out too much about the kids to be honest, and good.
