Cop That

Two foreigners have been beheaded in Saudi Arabia:

AN Afghan and a Bangladeshi, who were respectively convicted in Saudi Arabia of drug trafficking and murder, were beheaded by the sword today, the interior ministry said... (Saudi Arabia) applies a strict form of Islamic law. The death penalty applies to murder, rape, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking.
Apostasy is:

Abandonment of one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause.
Now there's a real crime.
