To be fair, I'd probably put North Korea and Assad's Syria ahead but only by a whisker.
...or a short head perhaps!

Hang on...it's not all bad. He's only going to be crucified after they've beheaded him according to that article. Sounds like he's getting off lightly.
So, the crucifiction is the problem? Surely the beheading is the main concern of the intended victim? The rest is just the modern day equivalent of sticking a head on a stake.

'modern day'?
Well, unless you start throwing stones at him. He really doesn't like that....I started a thread on why we keep sucking up to that bunch of evil *******s a couple of months back and was told it's better the devil you know in that region ...
Only if you believe in the bullshit rhetoric. Saudi have been key in supporting the al-Nusra Front (sometimes called al-Qaeda), in their fight against Assad. Syria may be a regime that he inherited but it was a secular regime that could have become democratic in the future. Unlike the non secular regime of Saudi Arabia and its Wahabi heritage that ISIL have adopted.
so what you're saying is, suppressing, imprisoning, bombing your own people is ok, as long as you don't do so with a theocracy? and before you start about rhetoric, remember that the Syrian people rose up against Assad for good reasons, and a lot of those refugees are fleeing the Syrian regime (their testimony).
The same good citizens who want to wipe out his Alawite people
If he left when the West asked him to, the Alawites would have been slaughtered.
you are highlighting there are many fault lines of sectarianism in the region. don't let us pretend that Assad's ok, a nice bloke poorly represented. if we want to look at it one way, for those onside with the Saud family, life in Saudi Arabia is pretty decent.
It won't matter to the rich and the royal family over there when the oil does run out. They've spread out from just the oil don't you worry.
