Saudi Arabia: Sharia Court Has Sudanese “Sorcerer” Beheaded…
These people really are stuck in the 7th century.
(NOW Lebanon) — Saudi Arabia beheaded a Sudanese man by sword in the western city of Medina on Monday after he was convicted of practicing sorcery, the Interior Ministry announced.
Abdul Hamid al-Fakki “practiced witchcraft and sorcery,” which are illegal under Saudi Arabia’s Islamic sharia law, said a ministry statement carried by state news agency SPA.
In October last year, Amnesty International said it had appealed to King Abdullah in a letter to commute Fakki’s death sentence.

Wow. Never carry a Harry Potter book around in that country.
In other news, Progressives seen nodding and applauding in approval the world over…

Washington Wizards cancel charity game in Riyadh; fear for their lives…
lol, this from a satan worshipping clan of inbreds.
Well… sorcerers, demons and witches should be executed, shouldn’t they?
Especially if you’re a brain damaged inbred barbarian.
From the article, “Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Saudi Arabia’s strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.”
From Wikipedia, Apostasy is “commonly defined in Islam as the rejection in word or deed of one’s former religion (apostasy) by a person who was previously a follower of Islam.”
Wasn’t Obama a Muslim who converted to Christianity? Sounds like he should wear his neck shield next time he bends over during a visit to Saudi Arabia.
One less to deal with later….
Not a big problem, he will come back as the White Wizard now
It’s a fair cop. He turned me into a newt

Gandolf beware
“practiced witchcraft and sorcery,”
———-
All this superstition is hard to keep straight.
In Islamist mythology, do the Jews have any mystical powers themselves? Would a ‘Jew sorcerer’ be different than a ‘common sorcerer’?
And exactly how is witchcraft different from sorcery?
Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
And this from one of the so called “advanced” muslim countries and our “Saudi friends”.
Drill baby drill.
So, I guess they don’t have too many “psychic hotlines” over there either?
Why dont they just burn him at the stake?
Eye of newt, wart of frog, and beak of ducks,
Tongue of lizard, ass of goat, we sure are dumb fucks.

Gandalf was a wizard, not a sorcerer. Although of what the distinction may be, I am totally at a loss.
I guess any Muslim child’s fascination with magic tricks would warrant a head chop.
@gastorgrab- Your question as to the difference. Was it a statement or a question? Pardon my dull wit for not being sure.
Anyhow, I was wondering if there were any difference (aside from spiritually having the same final destination) so I looked it up. According to the Hebrew and Greek words for sorcerer and sorcery are rendered as with and witchcraft in the English language.
According to the Old Testament that was punishable by death (I don’t know the method). According to Revelations 21:8 Hell is the destination.
pardon, I wrote “with” and meant “witch”
There actually is a religious difference between a wizard like Gandalf or Harry Potter and a sorcerer. According to Rowling and Tolkien, their wizards are beings with inborn special magical powers.(Something that does not really exist.) That’s not sorcery. Sorcery is a normal human who uses the occult to influence events or tell the future. That’s what the Bible forbids. According to Jewish law (that the Muslims stole and whacked out) a person can only be found guilty of this if their “spells” actually work. (Which is highly unlikely.) Also you would need two witnesses to the “spell” being cast and to it working. That’s almost impossible and if a person commits perjury they are given the punishment that would have happened to the accused.
