Saudi authorities behead and crucify man for brutally slaying boy and his father

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi authorities beheaded and crucified a man convicted of brutally slaying an 11-year-old boy and his father, the Interior Ministry announced.
According to the statement issued by the ministry Friday, shop owner Ahmed al-Anzi molested the boy and then strangled him with a length of rope. He then stabbed the boy's father to death when the man came looking for his son.
He hid both the bodies in his shop, the statement said, adding that al-Anzi threatened police with a knife when they came to arrest him.
Al-Anzi had previously been convicted of sodomy and owning pornographic films, a crime in conservative Saudi Arabia.
Crucifying the headless body in a public place is a way to set an example, according to the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam. Normally those convicted of rape, murder and drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia are just beheaded.
London-based rights group Amnesty International criticized al-Anzi's execution and crucifixion.
"It is horrific that beheading and crucifixions still happen," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui of Amnesty International in a statement Friday.
"King Abdullah should show true leadership and commute all death sentences if Saudi Arabia is to have any role to play as a global leader or member of the G20," said Sahraoui.
According to an Associated Press count, Friday's execution brought the number to 35 beheading this year in the kingdom. In 2008, 102 people were beheaded.

Yes but even during the period of the time when punishments were carried out it was extremely rare.And those punishments are not carried out anymore Israel doesn't have the death penalty much to my disappointment

I deleted my post right before you posted that, because I realized what I said was kind of stupid and off-topic , but what I said was, "Isn't it true that in Judaism a murderer is supposed to be decapitated if there are two eye-witnesses?"
Thanks for the answer. Sometimes I just wonder how different Islam is from Judaism.

Very, in Judaism a court that sentenced more then i forget the exact number but it was like 2 people in 40 yrs was called a bloody court.Also Israel doesn't carry out death sentences anymore much to my dismay.

If death sentences were rarely carried out, anyway, then why would it be much to your dismay that they aren't carried out now?
Seems like, given all the wickedness in the world, if Judaism were to truly function properly, then A LOT of death sentences would be carried out.

Would you want people to be executed for things like working on Shabbat?

No murder ,rape and child molestation oh and terrorism

But Shabbat Desecration is worse than all three... If only the Jewish people would observe two shabbats with all the halachas and we are told that Moshiach will arrive... Please don't desecrate the Shabbat as it is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT mitzvot in the Torah, around which all other commands revolve.
In Judaism the reason we don't murder is not because of social reasons, not because it is not good for society. The reason Torah gives us not to murder is because man is made in the image of G-d. And rape and child molestation are only two examples of prohibited sexual relations, Torah enumerates many more...

Mord, I wold like to see Jewish leftists please repent and go back to Torah, and the Synagogue.

What if someone accidentally/on purpose lets their toddler turn on the tv on that day? It's naughty but is it as bad as murder? It's really hard for me to understand this because I'm not Jewish and I didn't grow up with it.
