3 :
yes in theory it does.. but having said this.. You dont see heads rolling in the streets from executions of murders.. Also the punishment of chopping off a hand if you steal is also not common, even though its on the books/law.. I frankly have never seen a one handed person in my life here in Saudi.. I also have never witnessed an execution, even though they are welcome to the public to use as a deterant for future criminals to keep the morality high.. Saudi now is being pressured by the human rights groups of the world and they more than likely just deport criminals, or throw them in jail for life..
