Man on Death Row for Witchcraft.

[DumbassDude]

So yeah, apparently in Saudi Arabia, knowing whats on television is a criminal offense deemed magical and worth dying for. I fucking love that country.

"A man has been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for witchcraft because he makes predictions on television."

"Saudi courts are sanctioning a literal witch hunt by the religious police," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "The crime of witchcraft is being used against all sorts of behavior, with the cruel threat of state sanctioned executions."

Ali Sibat's supporters say he was denied a lawyer at his trial and was tricked into making a confession.

Funny stuff.

Holy fish, that's terrible.

Do we get permission to call them "backwards" now?

[ZagmenO]

That is both sad and hilarious at the same time.

[Sidorio]

They've got their eye on you, Derren.

Yeah, I would have to say we do.

[Prinzy2]

So no pulling quarters out of kid's ears when I'm in the middle east then?

[Tateos]

I believe science is illegal there.

Who's up for a Harry Potter cosplay meet in Saudi Arabia?

Say no more.

Apparently, a phone book written in a foreign language counts as a witchcraft talisman in Saudi Arabia.

Says so on that news page. 20 months and 300 lashes of the whip, for owning a fucking phone book.

I'm not particularly in support of invading countries, but backwards, fucktarded countries like Saudi Arabia just need the shit bombed out of them as punishment for being so fucking retarded.

He must have SKY PLUS.

budum tssh

Eh i crack my self up. *crys

[Reincarnate]

is it bad of me not to want anyone from the middle east in this country? I see stuff like this and it's like, I just don't want anything to do with them or anyone associated with them.

[HecticsGhost]

South Park is coming on toni-- what the hell?

Wait, how the hell can you arrest me? I'm a ghost, like Obi-Wan.

[Urban-Champion]

So the super frikin smart terrorists that we know and love still believe in witchcraft? And we have army men dying over in that country?

[Boxxy]

People still believe in witchcraft, ha.

How do you trick a psychic into making a confession? Shouldn't he have seen it coming?

That's the problem with Saudi. The only thing they can do is oil.
