What's with Saudis and their zest to copy the Crucifixion of Christ ?

Are they turning towards Christianity by reenacting the Crucifixion and the Passion of Christ. Do they have a burning desire to convert to Christianity.   Not seen anything so Stockholm syndrome-like behaviour ever.  HAHAHHAHAHA !!   Yup, I  laugh at my own jokes.

From the RiyadhBureau blog:
A Saudi public prosecutor  is pushing for the death sentence in the case of a detained Shia cleric from Qatif, local media reported Tuesday. The prosecutor is seeking to apply the punishment of heraba, death by crucifixion, against Sheikh Nemer al-Nemer, a firebrand preacher who was arrested in July 2012 after a car chase in the town of Awwamiya in the Eastern Province.

Newspapers reported the story without mentioning al-Nemer by name, but Okaz ran the story with a picture of him on top. The prosecutor is reportedly accusing al-Nemer of inciting sectarian strife, meeting with wanted individuals to instigate them to commit crimes and kill citizens and security forces, assaults public property through his Friday sermons, and interfering in the matters of neighboring countries.

Al-Nemer has attended the trial and asked the judge for time to appoint a lawyer after consulting with his family, Okaz reported. The judge has accepted the defendant’s request and informed him that his family members would be allowed to attend the upcoming hearings.....
