How come the news doesn't care about Saudi Arabia's beheading schedule?
The planned beheading of Hajras al-Qurey will be the 23rd execution in the last three weeks --
Saudi Arabia: Scheduled beheading reflects authorities’ callous disregard to human rights | Amnesty International
Well let's look at the bigger picture a bit.
The West complained about Saddam killing a bunch of his people and was one of the arguments to take him out of power (besides WMD that never existed) and then we had Assad killing his own people in Syria and people in the West wanted him taken out of power.
Western Media likes to spin these executions as innocent folk being killed for speaking out against an oppressive regime..... and now we get to see what these people are really like, which are the likes of these Extremists IS folk, whom are less discriminate towards who they kill and seem to be a hell of a lot more brutal and far worse than the original dictators keeping them all in check.
I see Iraq and Syria as one big maximum security prison filled with a lot of harden criminals, and the West took part in a big jail break and let them all loose.
These activist groups trying to get emotional over a handful of cases where things seem unjust and focusing mostly on those, seem to avoid looking at the bigger picture.
"More than 2,000 people were executed in Saudi Arabia between 1985 and 2013"
^ And we're all of those cases (or at the very least, half) all under the same circumstances as this poor fellow in the linked report?
"Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception. It violates the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment."
^ And these people have automatically blinded themselves with this mentality to the bigger picture of what goes on over there. They oppose the death penalty in all cases and without exception, thus anything to stop state executions is the primary focus, regardless of the consequences.
Thus, we get Western outcry over these situations, help try and topple a sovereign nation's leadership and order (because it doesn't align to our own type of order) and then we let loose the freaks like IS who don't even bother with a show trial, they just kill you straight out and use your head as a hood ornament on their trucks. These people end up killing for more people in the last 4-6 months than the 2000 people Saudi Arabia has killed in the last 28 Years.
But hey.... The death penalty was stopped.... that's a good thing.
