The Saudi Kingdom executed 47 people in one day

On Saturday, the Saudis executed 47 people, including Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, a prominent Shiite cleric. But most of those executed were Sunnis.
According to the Daily Mail, the Saudi Interior Ministry said the 47 had been convicted of adopting the 'takfiri' [radical Sunni] ideology, joining 'terrorist organizations' and implementing various 'criminal plots'.
The executions took place in 12 cities, either by firing squads or beheadings.
Although all but four of the 47 executed were Sunnis connected to al-Qaeda, Shiites as far away as India were outraged. Iranians burned down the Saudi embassy in Tehran.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari said, “The Saudi government supports terrorists and takfiri extremists, while executing and suppressing critics inside the country.” (That’s sort of like the kettle calling the pot black.)
And Reuters reports that Lebanon's Supreme Islamic Shi'ite Council called Saturday's execution of cleric Nimr al-Nimr a "grave mistake", and the Hezbollah group termed it an assassination.
All that Shiite bullshit aside, dammit if those fucking Saudis haven’t put us Texans to Shame. Up to now, Texas has been labeled ‘the execution capital of the world.’ Now Saudi Arabia has left us in the dust by a country mile. Sumbitch!
