www.instablogs.com OFW beheaded in Jeddah The beheading by sword of an Overseas Filipino Worker convicted of killing a Saudi national is utterly horrendous. This despite appeals made by the lawyer hired by the Philippine consulate general in Jeddah and the requests sent twice by President Arroyo to the Saudi king asking clemency for Bidoya. The Saudi king refused clemency to Bidoya on the grounds that the victim's family was adamant in refusing to forgive Bidoya, and insisted on their right to the imposition of equivalent penalty. Our condolences to the bereaved family. However, at the same time, it needs to be pointed out that death penalty is a symptom of a culture of violence. By refusing to pardon the offender, the family has failed to show mercy of which Prophet Mohammad was an embodiment. How can such cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment and a violation of the right to life be compatible with faith and Islam? One fails to understand.
