    Sounds like an appropriate punishment for a child rapist.

    He got exactly what he deserved and the U.S. should do the same thing to rapists and child molesters. They don't deserve to live. They should be executed the first time they are convicted because there is no rehabilitation for these creeps.

    I rarely agree with sharia law or anything the muslims do as punishment for crimes or supposed crimes but on this one I have to say good job.

    Anyone who would rape a 3 year old child and leave him alone in the desert to die ought to be down on his knees thanking God that he got away with beheading.

    If I picture how I would feel if it was my precious baby dying alone and in agony at the hands of that cretinous animal, crucifixion wouldn't be a problem for me. I'd nail him on myself.

    We are lucky, though, that he doesn't live in America. We wouldn't be allowed to waterboard him to make him tell us where the baby was before it died, because that would be mean.

    This is incredibly brutal, horrific and shocking, and yet somehow I have absolutely no problem with it. However, for the sake of efficiency, they should crucify him first and then behead him from that position.

    Just think, if that guy lived here he'd probably get Probation.

    Good! I can't believe Saudi Arabia knows how to protect their citizens better than America. I'm glad to read this justice.

    You can't say they're not tough on crime. Compare this to the Ohio story where the convicted rapist was released from jail and how many bodies have they found in his home since then?

    I'm just sayin...

    I don't have a problem with what they do to scum like that.
    I do have a problem on how they treat their law-abiding citizens, especially women and their disregard for other religions.

    I am not sure if it would be right in this day-n-time to do these things, but it certainly would cause the predators here in America to reconsider doing it. [Murder, Rape]

    This is the only thing I would agree with Saudi Arabia on.

    It is unfortunate that our laws are so soft on these criminals they serve a short sentence they are kept away from the other prisoners, because they would kill them. Then they are let out on probation and then they repeat the crime again. I already made a comment for surgical castration. Did you know this was not a crime until 1960.
