Shocking, primitive and perverse - I'd hope that sense will prevail but the Saudis seem quite happy to allow this type of barbarism while still being allowed influence beyond their border: the power of oil I suppose.

According to the BBC website 'crucifixion' isn't what it seems: 'Under Saudi law, the punishment of crucifixion to which al-Nimr was sentenced is actually a beheading, followed by the public display of the body.'

Not that this is any less barbaric.

[OH MY WORLD!]

Well they do need arms. Iran would love to control the country of Islam's birth. Arabia is a repressive nation, no news there. There never will be a secular Arabia guarding Mecca, that's just a fact of life, so we might as well evaluate our relationship with the nation as we do with all other, not so free nations, we trade with.
