Our peaceful, tolerant allies the Saudis have hacked the head off a marijuana smuggler, in public, with a sword just like the one on their flag: Saudi Arabia Beheads Marijuana Smuggler.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - A Saudi drug trafficker was beheaded Sunday, a Ministry of Interior statement said.

Dhaher bin Thamer al-Shimry was convicted of smuggling marijuana into the kingdom, the statement said.

Al-Shimry was beheaded in the eastern province of Hafr al-Baten, bringing the number of beheadings in the kingdom this year to 41, most of them drug traffickers. At least 49 people were beheaded last year.
