Saudi woman beheaded for 'witchcraft and sorcery'
Jun 22^nd, 2014 at 10:11am

Why doesn't the world put sanctions on this barbaric insane regime?

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/13/world/meast/saudi-arabia-beheading/index.html?...

Quote:

The country's religious police who said authorities searched Nassar's home and found books on sorcery, a number of talismans and glass bottles filled with liquids supposedly used for the purposes of magic.

Amina bint Abdel Halim Nassar was executed Monday for having "committed the practice of witchcraft and sorcery," according to an Interior Ministry statement. Nassar was investigated before her arrest and was "convicted of what she was accused of based on the law," the statement said. Her beheading took place in the Qariyat province of the region of Al-Jawf, the ministry said.

In a statement issued late Monday, the human rights group called the execution "deeply shocking" and said it "highlights the urgent need for a halt in executions in Saudi Arabia."

Yes, they should be. However, why did I need to draw your attention to it? Why did you start a thread which only specifically attacked Muslims for Witch killing, when it is a far more widespread practice than you seem to realise...

Woman killed and burnt in Columbia for witchcraft

Two women killed in India for suspected Witchcraft

Another Indian woman killed for suspected Witchcraft

Philippina killed for suspected Witchcraft

Hammer maniac ‘kills women for being witches’ in New York

Brazillian woman killed because of suspected Witchcraft

Yet you only accuse Muslims of this horrendous crime? Roll Eyes

I was reading CNN & saw it as one of their headlines
so I thought the Islam readers on Ozpolitic would be interested to read it.

You are forgiven for creating a non-existent conspiracy.

So, ignorant as well? That explains a great deal.

If ignorance is not doing a Google search on all current witchcraft killings then I'm guilty.

That is just one part of ignorance. Not knowing the context is obviously another. Merely posting for a reaction though, is trolling. Roll Eyes

Pointing to a news item on CNN is not trolling.

Are the killings of women in PNG performed by the government Brian? When it comes to beheadings by governments you are happy not to criticise although I guess that is only Islamic beheadings you endorse and apologise for. Roll Eyes

Now back to PNG, are you comparing fairly Brian or doing your usual dishonest comparisons? Hmmmmmmm?

I make no excuses for those nations and their laws, BV. I merely recognise that it is their right to create and unfortunately impose those punishments. It is terrible but I also recognise I have no right or ability to criticise them. I am neither a member of their religion or a citizen of any of those nations.
