You are missing the point, but sure. I think we're being a bit pedantic if we're arguing the humanity of beheading vs. stoning. The end result is the same.

Also, you claimed that beheading isn't a form of punishment, yet it is listed on the second link I posted ^

> The use of public beheading as the method of capital punishment and the number of executions have attracted strong international criticism.[65] Several executions, particularly of foreign workers, have sparked international outcries.

It isn't a punishment _for_ _cheating_. Anyways it's not being pedantic, it's accuracy.

Alright, have it your way.

"that isn't a punishment in KSA" – well, it actually is. Beheading is beheading. You're splitting hairs at this point. You didn't say "isn't a punishment for cheating", you said "isn't a punishment in KSA" period.

There's that accuracy you wanted.
