American Thinker: It Wasn’t Pretty, Believe Me
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 9:50 A. M., Tuesday, August 31, 1999. “They will kill four today,” one Saudi in the crowd said.
“No, fifteen,” said another.
“You’re all wrong,” said one of the dozens of soldiers deployed around the parking lot of the city’s central mosque where the executions take place. “They will kill eight. They killed eight last Tuesday, and two more on Friday. And today is Tuesday, and they will kill eight again.” The method of execution is decreed in the Qu’ ran: beheading by sword. Saudi Arabia is the only nation that regularly beheads offenders. Read more
Tip to the wise, don’t ever smuggle drugs into Saudi Arabia or you will lose your head literally as these Muslim barbarians don’t mess with drug smugglers. The Filipinos don’t either, they’ll take you out into the village square and shoot you in the back of the head point blank with a pistol. It happened one time we were in the Philippines in a local village nearby Olongapo City.
At least it’s quick – – unless the sword is dull.
One of Our Guys was walking back to Clark AB …Smoking a Joint, and
using a cigarette alongside to hide it…Filipino Cop walked right
up behind Him and fired His Pistol into the air inches away from His
Ear….Then Arrested Him….He was stuck there for about 3 Months..
His Parents ended up paying $5K US (1983) To get Him out…He was
a changed Man after that…Not any smarter…But Broken down inside.
“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…”
Leftist logic:
American caught smuggling drugs in a country with strict drug laws and that country sentences that American to severe punishment: the US should bomb the snot out of that country for being so harsh with an American citizen.
Radical foreign country threatens to destroy America: the US should keep its hands off that country and do what it can to get that country’s forgiveness.
We can always use a little Rudyard Kipling to lighten things up.
gotta admit … one thing the muzzies do right
here in the ‘Civilized West’ we allow as many of our children to become victims of crime (one way or another) as is possible … then we claim ‘it’s for the children’

“I was made all things to all men,
But now my course is done–
And now is my reward…
Ah, Christ, when I stand at Thy Throne
With those I have drawn to the Lord,
Restore me my self again!”
(or were you thinking about ‘The Wrath Of The Saxons”? 😛 )
@VietVet — I totally love you. When we meet in Heaven I’m going to have to make sure you’re not standing next to me when God is telling us something serious, though.
…I’ve seen what drugs can do, as a medic, as a friend, as a family member.
Cleanly beheading dealers is too good for them.
Make it hurt.
A lot.
Drug dealers: don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Quit while you’re a head!!
Things to pass on, totally when visiting:
1. Don’t ever smuggle drugs into Saudi Arabia
2. The Filipinos will take you out into the village square and shoot you in the back of the head.
Of course human trafficking and child rape is still completely acceptable.
Here’s MY candidate for that:
“Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on Saturday for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005. He will appear in court in New York on Monday.”
…Bill Clinton was very eager to go to Saudi Arabia when he was elected POTUS because he heard about all the head there. Imagine his surprise…
‘he heard about all the head there’.
Supernightshade, I saw what you did there,,,
Great point and Applause!

NB to Allan C. Stover.
Unless you are also a Muslim, either your “friend” is a good liar or a bad Muslim.
Mohammad says..
“Quran (5:51) – “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Quran (5:80) – “You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide.” Befriending unbelievers is one sign that a Muslim is bound for Hell.
Quran (3:28) – “Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them…” This last part means that a faithful Muslim is allowed to feign friendship if it is of benefit. Renowned scholar Ibn Kathir states that “believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly, but never inwardly.”
Quran (3:118) – “O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people, they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand.” This verse not only warns Muslims not to take non-Muslims as friends, but suggests that that the rest of the world is out to get them and can’t be trusted. 4:101 says that unbelievers are “open enemies” of Muslims.
Quran (9:23) – “O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers” Even family members are not to be taken as friends if they do not accept Islam. (There are harsher interpretations of this verse. The same (ninth) sura advocates “slaying the unbeliever wherever ye find them”).”

…and so on, et cetera, und so weiter…
…I would go with “good liar”. Mohammad commands THAT, too…
Sahih Bukhari (49:857) – “He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar.”
@ AA:”@VietVet — I totally love you. When we meet in Heaven I’m going to have to make sure you’re not standing next to me when God is telling us something serious, though.”
Do not discount God’s sense of humor. He made us, right?
…here’s more on God’s sense of humor, @Lowell…

…could be a thread idea for IoTW, too, bet we’re funnier than them…
I applied for that beheading job but the Saudis wouldn’t cough up airfare for the interview.
Typical Jews.
Lowell — No one is more familiar with God’s sense of humor than me! I was just thinking that even God must frown on inappropriate mirth, and I just know VietVet would get me in trouble because I have a hair trigger when it comes to laughing. 🙂 And VietVet knows it and he would cause me to snort in laughter and then he’d slink back into the rest of the crowd and God would smite me with a thunderbolt and then I’d be on my way to Hell, no questions asked or answered. I know VietVet has gotten a lot of people in trouble for the same thing here on earth. I know it.
@AbigailAdams (at 7:53 pm): Please don’t make any premature assumptions about my final destination. I hate disappointing anyone, you know.
😉
VietVet — Sorry, but you’re going to Heaven, my friend. Get used to the idea.
@AbigailAdams: Damn, and I was hoping to go where all my friends are!
😉
VietVet — 😉
(the big C is back and I can’t imagine Heaven without you there)
@AbigailAdams: If the “big C” means what I think it does, your comment fills me with great apprehension. Please tell me I’m wrong.
