| Saudi Arabia's Troubling Crucifixion Case by Nairalanddiary(op): 9:06am On Sep 28, 2015 |
On September 14, local media reported that an appeals court and Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court had upheld the death sentence of Ali al-Nimr for participating in protests four years ago. He was 16 at the time. Today, he awaits the execution of his sentence, which stipulates that al-Nimr should be beheaded and that his headless body should be strung up for public display. Among the "crimes" for which al-Nimr was convicted were "breaking allegiance with the ruler," "going out to a number of marches, demonstrations, and gatherings against the state and repeating some chants against the state," and using his cell phone to incite demonstrations. He was also accused of sheltering men wanted by police, helping wanted men avoid police raids, and attacking police with Molotov cocktails and rocks, although prosecutors offered no clear details of injuries to police officers. Al-Nimr denied the charges and told the court that security officials coerced a "confession." al-Nimr is far from alone. In fact, he's part of a rising trend. Saudi Arabia has one of the highest known execution rates in the world and so far this year, it has executed 135 people . Saudi diplomats have been trying to deflect criticism of the country's soaring execution rate. Al-Nimr's life is now in the hands of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, whose decision will signal whether he is committed to reforming the justice system or to perpetuating the status quo of gross due process violations and executing child offenders. If King Salman believes in justice he should acknowledge the serious flaws in the case and commute the sentence.. |

Why is the west always poking their nose into the affairs of the middle east. The country is not a UN member they don't care about UN chatters and its people are not complaining. So why always trying to show their flaws to the world. There are worse cases in the US and other western countries that we hardly here about. Nigeria has its own. Every country does. As long as our histories differ, our moral standard must differ. |

jomoh:Going by your reasoning,slave trade would still be on, and South Africa would still be under apartheid rule. External pressures is quite necessary for countries worldwide to abate human right abuses. |

jomoh:Confession by coercion. . I hope you are applying for permanent visa to Saudi, they need people like you. |

guy1234:If they had not poked nose into the african matter initially, there wouldn't have been anything like slave trade in the first place. The nose they poked into their matter that caused the awakening of the terrorism beast. Things like these happens in every country, community or society why make it look peculiar to them alone. There is an on going genocide against the muslims in Myamar (burma) but you hardly see the west shouting about it. Why not leave this people alone. Let them be with their way of life. |

jomoh:Let them be with their way of life.. Qur’an:9:5 - “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” Qur’an:9:123 “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.” Ishaq:578 “Crushing the heads of the infidels and splitting their skulls with sharp swords, we continually thrust and cut at the enemy. Blood gushed from their deep wounds as the battle wore them down. We conquered bearing the Prophet’s fluttering war banner. Our cavalry was submerged in rising dust, and our spears quivered, but by us the Prophet gained victory.” This is the type of society you want since you see nothing wrong with what Saudi Arabia does..Educate yourself and stop commenting without your brain. |

Nairalanddiary:What would you say about these Bible script below But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me. (Luke 19:27) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (Matthew 10:35) To whom brain is given, sense is expected. Learn to know yourself before attacking your enemy. Every society, religion, and country has its own fair share of violence and what seem like injustice but portraying one as being evil against the other when you don't know the history behind it is devilish. |

jomoh:Muslims lie when it is in their interest to do so and “Allah” will not hold them accountable for lying when it is beneficial to the cause of Islam. They can lie without any guilt or fear of accountability or retribution. A lie in the defense of Islam is approved even applauded in their “holy” books. I know your type. You are no better than the rams you slaughter. |

Nairalanddiary:Isn't it a marvel that even with the brain you claim to have, you still does not make sense. So because I quoted the bible like you quoted the Quran has made me and every muslim a liar and it has made you a saint.? Don't you think it was high time you donated that your brain for the advancement of science? After all this years you obviously haven't figured out how to use it. The fact that jellyfish has survived for more than 650million year without a brain is great news for stupid people like you. |

jomoh:You must think you're getting something out of responding to me? Since you're not looking for me to educate you but for me to hate on your response, I deem you out of touch. And you keep shifting your standards lower and lower with each response. Sorry, if your babbling made any sense then there would be plenty of reasons and evidence to dispute it, your response makes you look like a cow with a tube of lipstick and a misguided value system. You and your kind depicts a major plethora of examples of what's majorly wrong with the world.You are loud with very little intellect. You should be treated like a hyena in need of a tranquilizer dart or genital cuff. |
