Heeded did not stand out for me. But your abbreviation of Saudi Arabia did. As we have more South Africans here than Saudis I was left thinking, "What? Does he think South Africa is a Muslim country. Hello?!"

Luckily I decided not to challenge you and the penny dropped after a re-read. Re-heed maybe :)

An American shows up in S.A. or wherever and complains about theirs laws. Think he might "be beheaded"?

Yes, I could have worded it better, but it does add a certain something to the point I made, does it not? :D

I thought the wording was spectacular - that was my point - unintentional or not - a Freudian slip perhaps?
