And you seriously believe that Wikipedia "fact"! Says it all really doesn't it. There are 47,000 people in prison in Saudi! Based on 220 offences a year there must be people convicted in 1815 still locked up!
So that makes it alright then in your book? The burgulars must have slipped and impacted the pensioner accidentally then eh? To bad the poor ole pensioner was just in the wrong place at the wrong time eh?
And the concept of Saudi citizens being models of good behaviour doesn't ring true. I think 19/20 hijackers in 9/11 were Saudi. Let me guess though Ryluer......it was all holograms or reptiles or aliens or an inside job etc etc. Or whatever guff you read on David Ickes forum.
C'mon, Ry. Seriously, man. Have a sense of perspective. You cite the heinous beating to death of that poor old guy, which was indeed a genuinely redundant act. But, why is it sooo in the news? Precisely because it's so uncommon. So unusual. So rare. Please don't try and base any argument on such a carefully-chosen incident, regardless of how hellish it may have been. Back in your civilised SA, however, we have around 100 public beheading per year...
But the Saudi population is less that 30million and the British is 65million. Doesn't that mean a higher proportion of the Saudi population are in nick? Thought it was a virtual crime free zone.
The kingdom is blighties biggest arms and gun market. When you stop supporting their regime then perhaps you might gain a foot hold on the moral high ground.
If its a crime free zone why are 47k in nick? Why do you support a regime who lash and jail rape victims.
