One has to wonder how legitimate the charges against these individuals are, considering how emotional and fanatical these people (Muslims) are. Anyway, none of this matters anymore to the 72 people put to death by the new regime in Saudi Arabia this year. TGO

Authorities executed Fayez al-Atwi in Riyadh after his conviction for gunning down the security man while he was on duty, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
Another Saudi, Abdullah al-Balawi, was beheaded for stabbing his father to death, the interior ministry said.
The third person executed was Abdullah al-Ruwaili, a Saudi found guilty of “smuggling a large amount of banned amphetamine pills,” said the ministry.
Both Balawi and Ruwaili were executed in the northwestern city of Tabuk.
The three cases bring to 72 the number of death sentences carried out this year, compared with 87 for all of 2014, according to an AFP tally.
Amnesty International has criticised a “macabre spike” in the use of the death penalty this year in Saudi Arabia, which the London-based watchdog ranked among the world’s top three executioners of 2014.
Drug trafficking, rape, murder, apostasy and armed robbery are all punishable by death under the kingdom’s strict version of Islamic sharia law.
The interior ministry has cited deterrence as a reason for carrying out the punishment.
Like the French Marie Antwanette said, “Let them get head”. -Ghostrider Wisdom…good head is better than no head at tall.
