    Im saying we shouldnt support any country in the middle east anyways, but then again our government only does it for the amazing kickbacks that the american people will never see anyways. I wasnt suggesting one world rule, i was just bringing up our incredible hypocrisy saying we support freedom and democracy and then doing the opposite.

    I think the US puts there nose in places they shouldn't. Each country have different laws and a person rights vary from country to country. The punishment in the Middle East is carried out quicker and harsher than the US. It proves to be a better deterrent on crime. It hard to steal with no hands.

    At the same time your probably the first to moan when the US locks people up in gitmo, yet it's hard to build bombs with no freedom.

    This isn't just about a difference in law, everyone is aware different countries have different laws, the UK, US has some laws that are totally mad & inhumane.

    This is about being fitted up by some nuts over something that simply is not possible, not only that but took advantage of a poor illiterate woman of all people, because some guy lost his manhood because he can't get a stiffy.

    I have strong feelings toward idiocy, mainly your position.

    When St0x was trying to get a straight answer out of you you could not answer, you did your best however your position is still unclear, other people don't have the same problem & can give a straight forward opinion.

    If I was going to protest about things I will start at home first (& do), however because I don't want to protest in SA doesn't mean I have to accept their injustice & stupidity & just because it is the law of their country you don't have to either;)

    for someone who "doesn't have a dog in this fight" you have made a lot of posts defending the execution of a woman who, according to you, couldn't possibly have commited the crime she has been found guilty of. Pick a position and defend it, don't cowardly pull your dog out after it's been beaten.

    True, the whole crux of the situation is whether it's possible for her to break the law or not. If I get sentenced of breaking the law where I'm not allowed to turn into the Hulk in crowded areas, it's a load of BS cuz it's a law that isn't capable of being broken.

    Unless someone is willing to concede that they think it's possible for the woman to cast an impotence spell on the guy, then just admit that it's lunacy.
    If you think it is possible, then that's your right to believe whatever you want, but come out and say it.

    And if anybody has a link to this other article that tells a different side of the story, post it up so we can have a broader perspective on this.

    "What a country does with its people is there business" and i agree that the USA is
    always trying to stick there nose where it doesn't belong and always cost us money or blood.

    Do i think she should be killed....

    Hell NO, nobody deserves to die "unless" they took someone else life purposely..

    Our prisons hold over 2.5 million people and we taxpayers always flip the bill..

    The point isn't even whether she should be put to death for the crime. The point is whether it was possible or not for her to commit the crime in the first place. Now, my own personal opinion is that it would be impossible for her to cast that spell on somebody.

    If you think that, let alone be put to death, she should be held guilty of the crime of effecting this man with a magic spell, then just say that you think she cast a spell on him that gave him ED.

    Once again, if nobody is willing to say that, then just admit it's wrong in every sense of the word.

    And as you have already said, She couldn't possibly be guilty of the crime she was convicted of because casting spells to cause impotence is not possible.

    often they would commit some crime and go there as they can live peacefully than outside (As they would provide food and all other things there)

    Yes you did

    Though if you now want to change your mind and claim it is possible to cause impotence through magic you can do so. I think it's important that we establish, once and for all, If you think she could have caused a mans impotence through witchcraft. You seem to be falling apart at the seams in this thread, Contradicting yourself on a post by post basis, Evading questions and defending the indefensible. So i will ask you a straightforward question and expect a straightforward answer; Do you think this woman could possibly have caused a mans impotence through magic spells?

    You do believe it is possible then, you also have no problem with this woman or any other person being executed for this crime either, as long as they were found guilty.

    However in this particular case this woman was illiterate & was forced to fingerprint a confession, any normal person knows she would not confess without being tortured because it’s not possible to have magic powers in the first place.

    Your position on this story is like some wannabe jihadist when a bomb goes off, of course they deplore it but just can’t condemn it.

    It depends on what is your definition of magic. Could have she caused the man to become impotent? If the man believed that she is a witch, why not? mind can plays tricks on you.

    We all know what magic means. Whether the impotence is a result of the mans mind or not is irrelevant, The only thing relevant is whether the woman could have caused impotence through magic, because that is what she was convicted of.

    I just told you that she could have caused that man's impotence. I do not think her magic would work on people that do not believe in magic. But if he believed in her magic, then she could have easily done it. Did she tell him that she is going to make him impotent with her magic?
