Indian arrested in Saudi Arabia for trying to cast a spell on boss

Magic and sorcery is punishable by death- beheading is on the cards-

You've got to be kidding me !

On what basis did they come up with that ? Where does it say that in the Koran ?

 

[Developereo]

that could happen if witch craft has lesser sentence than other crimes. In SA, it is DEATH for sorcery.

Hard to say.

If the practice of "witchcraft" is costing lives, as in claims of alternative medicine, then harsh penalties would be appropriate.

By people I mean majority, not some deranged man.



Superstition are still there, I agree, but a state believing in Black Magic is ludicrous.

Islam says that it does, jews practice some sort, christians believe in it. Now it is also practiced in your own religion, or is believed on atleast.

Hey @SHAMK9 - Dude what is happening ?

 

[gubbi]

Do people really believe in Magic Spells and Sorcery? Aren't we living in information age?

Apparently they DO! Thats why they are so scared of these that they incorporate capital punishment - beheadings - to 'deal' with the idiots who resort to such 'activities'!

Atleast, there is NO capital punishment for such "offences" in India!

Its funny to see pakistani supportng this idiotic action.A state punishing you for witchcraft...I know you people always suck up to he Saudis but this is a whole new level of *** kissing.

 

[jandk]

And still some a-rabs have the nerve to brag about how advanced their countries are

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

Death seems quite harsh, but then their nation their rules

 

[Android]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Indians (Hindus specifically) also believe in black magic and co.?

with exception of some remote tribes NO

Too hefty a price for 'resorting' to such irrelevant activities.

Addressed in post #33. It all depends on what kinds of crimes are committed under guise of practicing witchcraft.
