Beheading,hanging death is death

And people believed they went to the holy land to perform their religion rite/obligation. Alas! they're there for different purpose, using holy pilgrimage as cover. What hypocrisy!

One of the reasons the atheist don't believe in religious people.

Highest form of hypocrisy!

Death by hanging o, beheading o, I don't pity them.
