Firing squads could replace executioners
Gulf News
Oy! Since when does slicing off someone's head with a sword require an IQ greater than that of a tree stump. Obviously in the Saudi kingdom it does, because “on some occasions, executions were marred by confusion as the executioner was late in showing up at the designated public place, causing confusion and sparking speculation and rumours”.Really! In Saudi Arabia executioners are confused even though their only job is to remove someone’s head from their shoulders with the swipe of a sword. Would you entrust such numbnuts with a gun?
Mate... this is how you do it....

However, the country’s area governors have already been given the right to resort to the firing squad, the sources said.
“They can use their own discretion for the execution if the court does not specify how the capital punishment verdict is to be carried out,” the unidentified sources said. “Using the firing squad is not against Islam.”
According to the sources, the limited number of executioners by the sword was a major reason for the decision.
“They are not readily available everywhere and on some occasions, executions were marred by confusion as the executioner was late in showing up at the designated public place, causing confusion and sparking speculation and rumours,” the sources said.
Cases where a firing squad was used to carry out a capital execution included a woman who was found guilty of murdering her husband and hiding his body.
The woman was executed at the women’s prison in the northern city of Hael.
Her daughter, an accomplice in the murder, was sentenced to 15 years in jail.
Offences that could result in the death penalty in Saudi Arabia include murder, rape, armed robbery, repeated drug use, apostasy, false prophecy, witchcraft and sorcery.
According to reports, 15 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia this year.
