Absolutely medieval.

Here are a few excerpts from an interview on Lebanese television featuring Islam’s official executioner (read: decapitator). They treat the guy as if he was a Hollywood celebrity! (h/t: Crush Liberalism)

Saudi Government-Appointed Executioner for Mecca, Abdallah Al-Bishi, Discusses His Calling and Demonstrates His Weapons and Methods

Following are excerpts from an interview with the executioner for Mecca, Abdallah Al-Bishi, which aired on LBC TV on November 4, 2006.

Reporter: This is the most renowned executioner in Saudi Arabia, Abdallah Bin Sa’id Al-Bishi, who carries out the executions. His sword delineates the border between seriousness and play. There is no negotiating with him, once the heads have ripened. When it’s harvesting time, he is the most suited for the job.
…
Dr. Turki Al-Atyan, Saudi Interior Ministry psychologist: The rulings of the Shari’a – executions or other punishments decreed by Allah – are carried out by the sword, not by hanging or by gunfire. In the past, gunfire was used, and the victim’s guardian was allowed to do the shooting, but out of the fear of possible injustice, Saudi Arabia decided that executions would be carried out by the sword.
…
First TV host: Do you cut off hands, or do you just do beheadings?

Abdallah Al-Bishi: Yes, yes. I carry out the punishment of cutting off thieves’ hands, as well as the cutting off of a hand and a leg on alternate sides, as is written in the Koran. [emphasis added]
…
Abdallah Al-Bishi: I cannot elaborate on the work itself. On the personal level, I am very normal. I get up in the morning, pray the Al-Fajr prayer. My breakfast is prepared, and I eat it. Allah be praised. I wait for the police car to pick me up, and I go to work. It’s all very normal. I finish the job, and go home. It’s all very normal.

Yep, beheading someone who violates Shari’a law; very normal.

You can also watch the translated video of the interview to see just how mainstream this is in Muslim society. These are not even jihadists, these are the more “rational” of Muslims who live under Shari’a.

Even as someone who practices swordsmanship, I find this particularly disturbing. And not because this is a government-sanctioned executioner, mind you. I have no problem with capital punishment. As for decapitations, hell, one of my favorite books is Lone Wolf & Cub, a long-running graphic novel series about a fictional Japanese decapitator who worked for the Shogun. But that story was set in the 1600s, not in 2006!

Looks like they use a sword to dismember and behead lawbreakers in Saudi Arabia, as opposed to how jihadists prefer to use a large knife to slowly saw through the necks of non-Muslims. Is it the use of the sword which makes these Muslims “moderate?” Or mainstream?
