Bat**** crazy in Saudi Arabia. The nature of the sorcery was the woman charging 800 bucks for a product that she claimed could cure illness. She should have been selling this here in the US, where she could have had her own infomercial on TV. LOL.

As for the death penalty itself, Saudi Arabia is in great company with the likes of China, Iran, and Texas. :mrgreen:

Article is here.
 
We are way too soft on sorcerers in this country.
 
And we love this country with a vibrant passion.....
 
Did she weigh the same as a duck? Because as we know, ducks float like wood, and wood burns like witches.
 
To bad she doesn't live in America. I mean hell, we don't even put to death Warlocks

She said something to piss someone off and sorcery was the best excuse to rid themselves of her. That and the obvious Harry Potter wand she had..... 13 inches, ebony with fairy wing core.

Yep - The buzzing white / black is the "Snape" and the knobby rotating and vibrating plug in model is the "Dumble-my-door".

You think that's a substantive response?

The point may have gone well over your head but others may catch on. You can always ignore posts you don't understand.

You made a non sequitur, straw man and red herring within the same post. Here is a shining example of statement like the one you made: You'd probably like it in Saudi Arabia, they have banned abortions, homosexuality and have arranged marriages. :shrug:
 
I cant wait till someone posts that Islam is a peaceful religion AGAIN and were just all muslim haters

What does Islam have to do with peacefulness? You do know that there are predominately Christian countries where Protestants go around chopping down witches right? People only need one excuse to be savages. If Islam is the excuse the Saudis, a country where most of the population is still living in the 15th century, are using then it does nothing to determine whether Islam itself is peaceful or not.

The U.S. shouldn't be making Saudi Arabia richer by doing business with it. Its human rights record is deplorable.
 
The article seemed to suggest that they knew she was scamming people, and therefore not actually performing any magic. I am confused...

The difference apparently didn't matter much to them. They killed her anyway and now she is dead.



No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Saudi is the worst though. Even other countries in the ME think that country is nuts.

As long as Iran is publicly hanging Gays from lamp posts they'll be a strong contender for the most barbaric.
