Today’s edition of WTF is being brought to you by the land where islam was fabricated, Saudi Arabia. It’s sort of funny, except that a man has been sentenced to death for black magic, in the 21st century. But hey, it’s islam, so it must be halal (approved by allah, for muslims)!
DEATH PENALTY: SAUDI ARABIA, SENTENCED FOR BLACK MAGIC(ANSAmed) – A Lebanese man of 47 was sentenced to death by a court in Medina, in Saudi Arabia, for having practiced black magic, reported the paper Saudi Gazette. The man, who had already appeared on satellite television, was caught in a Medina hotel room while using herbs and talismans for one of his magic rituals. During the two years of processing the man, who is also accused of fraud, he admitted to having practiced black magic rituals and having contributed to the ending of marriages. To be definitive, the court sentence must obtain the approval of the Magistrates’ Court. In the oil kingdom the death penalty is foreseen for the crimes of murder, rape, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking. Since the beginning of the year 60 death sentences have been carried out. (ANSAmed).2009-11-10 12:07
