RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - A Saudi drug trafficker was beheaded Sunday, a Ministry of Interior statement said.
Dhaher bin Thamer al-Shimry was convicted of smuggling marijuana into the kingdom, the statement said.
Al-Shimry was beheaded in the eastern province of Hafr al-Baten, bringing the number of beheadings in the kingdom this year to 41, most of them drug traffickers. At least 49 people were beheaded last year.
This conservative Gulf country follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which people convicted of drug trafficking, murder, rape and armed robbery are executed. Beheadings are carried out with a sword in public.

I remember this scene from a Clancy book (Sum of All Fears?). It'd be interesting to see how effective this is...

Heads always lose their heads, one way or the other.
No smuggling marijuana in to the Kingdom.
Only the finest home-produced Hashish is to be used in the Royal Hookahs.

Lot's of folks losing their heads over pot.

I see Arabia don't like pot heads. Actually it was Arabs and related Muslim regions that foisted pot on the rest of the world as a drug.
Islamofascist dreams have been fueled by their magic carpet rides.

Just think of one could do with a good pot buzz and a Barbie Doll. The possibilites are endless and as decadent as the Devil himself.

There's not much of a drug-smuggling problem in the Kingdom I suppose.

Gummints don't like renegade dealers. Has an adverse effect on street prices.
To: freepatriot32
I guess that's one way of heading off the drug problem.
I'll be here all night folks!

And I thought Tommy Chong's 9 month sentence was excessive.

At least 49 people were beheaded last year. In Saudi hellhole Arabia, you can legally beat your 4 wives and children into bloody pulps, but you get beheaded for smoking a doobie? What a piece of s**t excuse for a country.
