That's news to me. I was under the impression that the death penalty for murder is carried out by public beheading.fgalkin wrote:I found it extremely ironic that Mohammed says that "crucifiction is no longer legal," when the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia practices crucifiction for murderers as part of Sharia law.
Same here. I don't believe the Muslims approve of crucifixion, given that one of their own prophets, Isa al-Masih (aka, Jesus) supposedly died in that manner. Of course, they do claim that Judas Iscariot replaced him on the Cross, so I suppose I can see how they could rationalize using it as a punishment...kheegan wrote:That's news to me.

So says the Human Rights WatchPunishments for boundary crimes include execution by beheading or stoning, crucifixion, amputation (of a hand, or a hand and a foot, depending on the crime), banishment, or flogging, and persons convicted of boundary crimes cannot be pardoned.
linkySANDY Mitchell, the Scot placed under sentence of death in Saudi Arabia, has revealed he was due to be executed by crucifixion, writes Christopher Claire.
Mitchell said he was told by his Saudi lawyer that the sentence called for the victim’s head to be "partially" severed and the body fixed to an X-shaped cross in public view for three days.
Public beheadings are routine in Saudi Arabia, but crucifixion is reserved as an exemplary punishment under sharia (Islamic) law for crimes of the utmost severity. Two highway robbers have been executed in this way in the past 20 years.
