Saudi Arabia Beheadings Illustrates that ISIS are Amateurs When it Comes to State Executions

Politics

It's Happy New year from Saudi Arabia's royal family that kicks off the year by offing 47 people of their heads as enemies of the state. Which was met with widespread condemnation from not just the usual suspects such as Iran and human rights activists but also a number of allies have frowned on the blood bath as on the one hand the West is engaged in a war on Islamic State for its barbaric beheadings of prisoners whilst on the other hand Saudi Arabia repeats the same in the interests's of the Saudi mafia family ruling over it's population by means of fear.


Iran Cry's Crocodile Tears?

Right on cue the Iranian masses reaction to the killing of the prominent Saudi Shiite cleric to go on a rampage that includes torching the Saudi Embassy in Iran, which in reality is just another event in a long series of violence in the Shia / Sunni civil war.

The truth is that both Saudi Arabia and Islamic states are amateurs when one considers the execution / collateral damage that other nations engage in on an annual basis.

The World's Top 10 Murderous States

Rank Country State Killings Per year Comment
  Islamic State 200 The fledgling Jihadi state's carnage is often magnified by the mainstream press so as to present a greater threat than reality
  Saudi Arabia 250 Apart from official beheadings, the Saudi royal mafia families apparent favourite sport is to drop people from high rise buildings.
  Russia 250 For Czar Putin any internal threat to his Czarship has to be neutralised, and this is excluding the Ukraine bloodbath!
  Iraq 300 The US sponsored Iraqi regime appears to be continuing Saddam's good work, though far fewer state sponsored murders than in past years.
  Egypt 350 Egypt's new Pharo has been eager to stamp out dissent.
  Yemen 500 A civil war has gripped Yemen and so has the value of human life gone out the window as hundreds are disappearing each year.
  Iran 500 Streets of Iranian cities are lined with hanging corpses as a warning to other would be dissenters of the Islamic Republic
  North Korea 750 The Dear Fat Leader's paranoia means that even family members are not safe.
  China 5,000 The body parts business is a booming business in China and so to satisfy demand thousands of prisoners are industrially put to death and harvested each year.
  USA 15,000 Whilst the official number for executions is just 40. However the US masks most of its state murders under the banner of 'collateral damage' and the US police shoot first and ask questions later policy which alone killed 1200 americans last year far more than all the terrorist's combined!

 

So given the above table two things stand out:

Firstly Iran is literally crying crocodile tears for in terms of state sponsored murders Iran is NOT better than Saudi Arabia. And secondly the reason for deafening silence from the United States becomes clear in that the United States remains top dog in terms of the world's most murderous regime. Though the tally for 2015 is greatly down on previous years i.e. during the Iraq War.
