    people can see with their own eyes that you didn't answer the question i asked you. You pretended i asked you something else and then answered your own strawman.

    So now we have established that you don't think she could have possibly caused a mans impotence through magic do you think that her imprisonment and future execution for the crime of causing impotence through magic, Something which you confess to believing is impossible, are travesties of justice? Let;s see if you can answer this one after the first time of asking, It's late and i have to be up early, There's a good lad.

    I am going to answer what I put in quotes below.

    I have read one document and have not read the files of the case. Their laws are vastly different from those in the United States. If she were put to death in the US I would think that justice was skewed. In Saudi Its still a crime to practice witchcraft whether or not she caused impotence. Witchcraft is a religion and is punishable by death. Several Christians were killed in Iraq this week just for being Christians.

    So ‘as per process' execute that bitch, oh sorry “witch”?

    You make it seem like she was into witchcraft whether or not she actually has "powers", I don't see that from that article, I see an abusive, illogical & unfair process.

    Oh man, this is SO like the middle ages. Talk about the advancement of the human race. If someone transported here from the middle ages via a time machine, he would find himself at home. The more things change .......

    So, homebiz, let me get this straight; At the same time as believing that magic spells can't cause impotence you defend the saudi's decision to murder a woman who was convicted of causing impotence through magic? I think only in your head could such muddled logic make sense.

    It worries me that you have such a hard time condemning something which, to any normal person, is an absolutely abhorrent atrocity and instead write if off as some kind of trivial cultural difference. It also worries me, To a lesser extent, That you feel a conviction for a crime which is impossible to commit is justice served.

    Stox maybe you should take it up with the best friends of the saudi's , the bush family who have constantly supported their oil rich partners and have let stuff like this go.

    Magic is a bad job,

    you should not talk about what you have no enough knowledge

    also, the rule of the country says that magic is forbidden, so why you violate the rules then attack the country?!

    there is a simple solution... Something starting with the letter N (4 letter word) should be utilized in the Middle East. Clean this area of the pigs and their cr*p and the world be a much safer place with no need for discussions like this....

    99% of people in KSA believe in witchcraft. As a matter of fact, you can't be a Muslim and not believe in witchcraft as it was mentioned in the Quran and happened to Mohammed himself.

    They have rules against witchcraft, she broke the rule and knew what she was getting into and must pay the price.

    If I go to Singapore with Drugs, I must pay the price.

    It is not your right to say that a rule isn't humane or unfair, it is to the people who live under such rule that have the right.

    Peace,

    Stox if you feel strongly about it you should go to Saudi Arabia and start protesting. You are just talking when you should be solving the injustice with peaceful demonstrations. :D

    Why would someone with practical and intelligent thinking like st0x would go to such a barbaric, backward and violent minded culture like that of Saudi Arabia.

    We have the rights to talk about humane or inhumane rules, no matter where it is. You just cannot compare drugs and witchcraft.If you say that people should have no say in the affairs of other countries and how it is run, then why you guys try to poke your nose in the affairs of American government in Iraq and Afghanistan? It does not have anything to do with you. You do you guys try bring about sharia laws in non-muslim countries?

    This is a globalized world ok!!! You just cannot do whatever you "think is right". Its everybody's concern. If the witchcraft claim and subsequent prosecution happened in Australia or the US, the hype would live for a week and then die away...But not in a Muslim country. You guys have already spoiled and tarnished your name, and no one can afford to keep you out of check!!!

    You are entitled to your opinion, but I think you are wrong. You can not force people to think like you or act like you.

    I definitely can. Millions will agree with me that it is barbaric to kill someone just because he dealt with drugs, even once.

    Leave other countries alone. Thousands of Americans think its Barbaric to kill someone who have killed someone, who's ideology do we enforce?

    You are comparing apples to oranges. People don't come and tell us what to do with our affairs, but when we start going outside of boundaries, then they have the right to talk or interfere.

    If the Majority of Iraqis or Afghanis wanted our involvement, then I will have to agree with you, however, this isn't the case.

    I don't see any Muslims trying to replace my constitution with their Sharia, even if they did, they won't succeed, because the Majority of Americans don't accept it.

    You are wrong. If so, the world will be in such ciaos. People in a certain place of the world pick a government to govern them based on their version of standards. Anyone interfering in their business is wrong.

    It is like me coming to your home and telling you how you should run things in your family, you wouldn't like that.

    Such thing wouldn't happen in Australia or here, because we only can prosecute people with evidence not philosophies.

    Peace,

    I got one thing to say...it might have been a different story...check other sources to prove the "article". I have seen many so called "news" which they bend the whole story around...how I knew that? I looked at what yahoo said and what the country's media had to say via watching tv and it was a total different situation
