We electrocute people to death, or sometimes inject them with various poisons. Doesn't seem too materially different in that regard.

It's not materially different until you consider the "crimes" that those people committed. In most normal places, that's usually something very severe such as murder which is one of the worst crimes a human individual can commit. Can you say the same of Saudi Arabia and its executions?

Obviously I don't think so, but just saying "they behead people!" seems a bit disingenuous.
