Saudi Arabia; number 5 in world for executions

Saudi Arabia has been executing about one person every other day. Foreign nationals, who don't speak Arabic and therefore cannot adequately defend themselves, are disproportionately killed under the Islamic system known as Sharia. Children and the mentally ill are also victims of Sharia executions.

Sharia calls for the death penalty for drug trafficking, rape, murder, armed robbery and leaving Islam for any reason. Sharia also recommends killing gays and lesbians, either by hanging, beheading or throwing them to their deaths from "high places." If you are a woman and are raped, you need the testimony of 4 men to agree that it was rape or risk being stoned to death for adulterous behavior.

Of the top five countries that execute people for crimes committed, Saudi Arabia is 5th. Since the death of King Abdullah, the guy who our so-called president Obama bowed to back when he was still turning oxygen into carbon dioxide, there were as many as 143 executions back in 2007, and as few as 27 back in 2010, with the average around 100. 

This year, under King Salman, there has already been 110 people beheaded or shot for their  "crimes." The trials for these people are akin to kangaroo court proceedings. 

This past May, the Saudi government advertised for 8 job positions for executioners. It was made to sound like a civil service job with no experience necessary--amputations a plus. (Sharia law recommends amputating hands, for example, for pick-pocketing.)

This is Sharia law; this is what many Muslims in the West want to replace our system of law. 

But as bad as Saudi is regarding executions, King Salman at least had the temerity to snub Obama back in May for the U.S.'s strengthening of ties with Iran.

Sounds like they should also be snubbing Valeria Jarrett.
