Saudi Arabi Beheads “Sorcerer”

In another example of primitivism dressed up as law, a Sharia sentence was carried out in Saudi Arabia to cut off the head of a man accused of being a “sorcerer.” Abdul Hamid Bin Hussain Bin Moustafa al-Fakki was executed in a car park Medina as citizens looked on to support punishment for immoral conduct.

The article below shows the executioner conducting the execution with a sword.

Still awaiting execution is Lebanese TV host Ali Hussain Sibat, who was sentenced to death over making predictions of the future on his show.

King Abdullah refused demands to spare Abdul Hamid Bin Hussain Bin Moustafa al-Fakki and to end such execution for sorcery — an undefined crime. Police arrested the man in a sorcery sting where he was asked to concoct a spell that would cause the officer’s father to leave his second wife. After his arrest, he was beaten, signed a confession, and given a secret trial. A perfect storm of extrajudicial abuse.

Sorcery remains a common concern among Middle Eastern countries applying Sharia law (here and here).
