Allahu-akbar ('God is Great') indeed! The use of these words in this context sullies the name of Islam!

Brutality in Tabriz: a grotesque public hanging in Iran
Warning: the video below is of a graphic nature and shows the public hanging of a woman and two men in Tabriz, Iran. Do not click the 'play' link if you are overly sensitive. The persons being executed are raised slowly on a crane - there is nothing 'humane' about these brutal and prolonged killings; this is reported to have taken place on or shortly before 15th July 2007. I embed it here because this is the reality of what is going on in a country such as Iran.
