Saudi Arabia: Hey, How About Some Beheading?

Seriously?

Why not:

Saudi authorities have beheaded a Saudi man convicted of murder in Riyadh on Thursday. The Interior Ministry says Faten bin Falaj was convicted of robbing and stabbing to death Youssef Ahmed Bira, an Indian, in a desert area outside the capital Riyadh.

At least we’re not helping them build nukes or selling them billions of dollars of weapons. Because they appear to be locked in the Middle Ages, and that would be stupid.
