Saudi Arabia Beheads Woman for ‘Practicing Witchcraft and Sorcery’

Bringing the number of shariah-law-compliant executions up to a reported 73 this year, a Saudi woman was beheaded Monday after being convicted of the “crime” of practicing sorcery, according to reports.
NDTV reports:
Amina bin Abdulhalim Nassar was executed in the northern province of Jawf for “practising witchcraft and sorcery,” the ministry said in a statement carried by SPA state news agency.
It is not clear how many women have been executed in the desert-kingdom, but another woman was beheaded in October for killing her husband by setting his house on fire.
In September, Amnesty International called on the Muslim kingdom where 140 people were on death row to establish an “immediate moratorium on executions.”
Amnesty said that Saudi Arabia was among the few states that voted against a UN General Assembly resolution last December calling for a worldwide moratorium on executions.
According to NDTV, rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all crimes punishable by death under Saudi sharia law. Sorcery and witchcraft likely fall under the apostasy category.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 2:49amIslam is a very, very, very peaceful religion. It’s not backwards, barbaric, ignorant, Medieval, intolerant, cave man like. No. It’s very modern, advanced, loving, and every other positive word you can say. We need to let even MORE of these barbarians into the US so they can takeover here just like they are doing in Europe. Those Muslims are today where Europe was in about 900ad where they still thought the earth was flat. Bolsheviks hate Christians, but yet just love those cave man like barbarians in the Middle East….why? Because they have a common enemy-the West. Muslims and Bolsheviks both want to destroy the West (Europe and US) so the enemy of my enemy is my alley. Nuff said.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 9:55pmHaha. The only reason why people hate Muslims is because they don’t understand the real religion of Islam. If anything, Islam is way harder than any other religion to stick to. Islam requires so much mandatory religious work that it’s unbelievable how Muslims live by it. It’s very strict. And what most people don‘t understand is that the only reason why so many Muslims are terrorists is because radical terrorists recruit them using the Qur’an. So many people don‘t understand the Qur’an because it’s so hard to understand. Every line in the Qur’an is like a puzzle. What the terrorists do is use the Qur‘an to recruit people that barely understand the Qur’an, while devote Muslims are aware that the radical terrorists are wrong, and therefore can’t be recruited. NO I’m not Muslim, I don‘t think I’d ever be able to live by it’s vast amount of restrictions and requirements. And, I have read he Qur’an. So, all you Muslim haters need to stop hating all Muslims and just hate the radical terrorists.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 2:23amIslam appears totally illogical to me. Especially, part about getting a whole bunch of virgins in heaven if you die while killing innocent Christians or Jews. In heaven you’re a spirit, like the angels, you have no body parts. These including those required for intercourse. Good luck trying to do the deed without the necessary equipment. Seems more like hell than heaven.
Now I do believe we will meet a lot of virgins in heaven, but they will be people like The Virgin Mary, the saints, and our Blessed Lord. The reward in heaven is being in the presence of Almighty God forever. The pleasures of the flesh are no substitute for the pleasures of God.

IN THE BIBLE, God always sent Assyria/Babylon/Philistines to discipline and take Israel into captivity when they rebelled, worshipped other gods, shed innocent blood, abandoned GODs LAW.
The rise of Islam is our discipline.
Repent or die.
The wages of sin is death… but if we confess and return to GOD and His LAW we will live and prosper.

The author asserted that in many cases the charge of witchcraft was lodged in feuds between families. He pointed out one case in Berlin, Germany (then known as Brandenburg) where a mother was charge & by people from another family which hers had an ongoing dispute with. She was never burned.
