Saudi propaganda in the New York Times: the injustice system

This is nothing short of a piece of propaganda that you read in the Saudi-funded Arabic press.  This is what is hilarious: when the Saudi regime beheads and cuts off limbs, Islamic law is blamed. But when the regime commutes sentences, the Saudi regime is credited. Yes, not all sentences are carried out because there are IN ISLAMIC LAW flexibilities and "tricks" that allow for the judge to exercise leniency, and also because financial compensation have been an accepted remedy in ancient Arabic culture.  Big deal. That doesn't make the Saudi injsustice system less unjust.
