Would you prefer us to go back to cutting hands off instead?

It was always quite a spectacle in Riyadh's "Chop Square" after Friday morrning prayers - and in many other regional places of Government. Heads and hands off and stoning of thr ladies that gave it too freely - none of it a pretty site.
Yet somehow we class these very same people as educated, wordly and on a par with Western (Christian) Standards

Maybe my rose tinted glasses need clening.

Never wanted to witness it that closely - one of my Saudi radar techs had an uncle that lived on the square - could have had a grandstand seat if I had wished.

As a sign of Saudi hospitality it used to be a bit of a tradition in Taif if any westerners were around chop chop square at Friday noon that the crowd would open up and make space at the front to enable a better view.

Don't see why they can't do it as this fella's suggesting, they do in Germany. Or are the Elf'n'Safe D Taliban, so deeply entrenched that there's no going back ?
