A man in Saudi Arabia is to be beheaded and crucified after he raped five children and left one of them, a three-year-old boy, to die in the desert. An appeal court in the capital Riyadh approved the death sentence handed down in June by judges in the northwestern oasis city of Hail where the convicted 22-year-old man carried out his crimes. The rapist - who was not named - was arrested several weeks ago as he tried to seize another boy after offering him a ride home from school. The seven-year-old - who escaped unharmed - helped identify the culprit. The man’s victims were aged between three and seven. He was said to have lured them into his car as they left school at midday and then drove them to remote desert locations to rape them. An investigation was launched after a 25-year-old father reported that his three-year-old son was missing and that he suspected the kidnapper to be a male driver of a white four-wheel drive vehicle. The infant was later found under a scorching sun in the desert where he had died of thirst. A panel of three judges in Hail sentenced the rapist to death for “abhorrent” crimes which they said had terrorised the community. Crucifixion in the conservative desert Kingdom means tying the convict’s body to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after he is decapitated by a professional swordsman. Saudi Arabia has executed 56 people this year under laws that allow the death penalty for rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking. In extreme cases, the convict is executed and his body crucified in public.

This is one of those times where I wish we could have a little Islamic Justice where the pedophiles are concerned. Pedophiles are the sickest, and cannot, ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE REFORMED. They have THE highest rate of recitivism. They will offend again, and why we allow them to live is beyond me. Killing them, not just beheading them, but hacking them to pieces, or crucifying them would send the right kind of message to the communities that harbor them.

This guy is lucky Saudi Arabia doesn't consider this a hate crime. I could only imagine what they would have in store for him if that were the case.
I partially blame the parents of the kids. Why do they let these people live? The twisted mo fo that does something like this to my kid is going to die for sure. The courts and police will have no say in the matter.
I agree! They should be put out of their misery. There should be public executions so if there are any offenders watching the executions they can see first hand their own fate if and when they get caught. Definitely a deterrent.
The only problem with the death penalty (usually) is if they don't have the right guy. I hope they do. There are too many stateside cases of innocent people on death row. And there have been many cases of people being executed who turned out to be innocent.
