Saudi to behead Lebanese for witchcraft
A Lebanese man sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia on charges of witchcraft is due to be beheaded this week, his lawyer said on Wednesday, urging officials and rights groups to intervene on his behalf."Last night we got news through unofficial channels that Ali Sabat would be beheaded within 48 hours," May el-Khansa, Sabat's attorney in Beirut, told AFP... "I have since been contacting Lebanese officials, including President Michel Sleiman and Lebanon's ambassador to Saudi Arabia to appeal his case."
Sabat was sentenced to death in November of last year by a Saudi court for practicing witchcraft. He was arrested in May 2008 by the religious police in Medina, where he was on a pilgrimage before returning to his native Lebanon.
The case against him was brought after he gave advice and made predictions on Lebanese television...
Saudi Arabia has no clear legal definition on the charge of witchcraft and judges are given discretionary power in determining what constitutes a crime and what sentence to impose.
In November 2007, Mustafa Ibrahim, an Egyptian working as a pharmacist in Saudi Arabia was beheaded after he was found guilty of sorcery.
Getting beheaded for making predictions?
I suppose that's why I couldn't find a good sports book in Riyadh.

ReplyDeleteSimply put, it is the 'religion of pieces'.
ReplyDeleteThis poor man's family will also suffer even more, long after his death.
Isn't it time for these 'Mooslums' (Obama's name for them)to grow up and realize it is the 21st century, and that Mohammed (Muhammud) was a pervert and a pedophile?
I guess they'd rather be perverts and pedophiles, too.
This type of behavior is known as "FEAR".
Fear of the 'unknown' Allah, whose directives are controlled by the Mullah Mafia. Thus, your common everyday Moslem will follow his Mullah's directives, even until the end of his/her life.
