RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday.
The convict was arrested earlier this year after a seven-year old boy helped police in their investigation. The child left in the desert after the rape was three years old, Okaz newspaper said.
International rights groups have accused the kingdom, the birthplace of Islam, of applying draconian justice, beheading murderers, rapists and drug traffickers in public. So far this year about 40 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia, crucifixion means tying the body of the convict to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after beheading.
Just who to side with - the sponsoring and utterly lovely Religion of Peace or the one that they believe in their heart of hearts to be the only true victim here - the convicted multiple child rapist and killer?
Decisions, decisions. Left breasty-dumpling milk, or not quite so left breasty-dumpling milk, my poppets?
Chortle.

Ah, I was going to ask which came first - the cross or the decapitation. Not too many years form now, we can see these here and not have to travel all that way.
Ah, I just love these dichotomys.
Just like this:
"I recently read a theory outlining how to create infinite power by strapping a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat, which would cause the setup to hover, spinning above the ground forever. Since cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands on the butter, it would theoretically never touch the ground."
* dichotomies, sorry
James, I hope not. There are some rough fellows in Afghanistan trying to avoid the contagion. Still and all, killing pedders... it's tempting, very tempting, n'est-ce pas?
Hi BGBG. ;-)
But had yo not heard - ANY solution containing cats will tend to disaster.
And is it dichotomies at all , or are those the hairier ones with two humps from Afghanistan? I 'm never sure.
