Saudi Court to Execute Man for "Sorcery"


According to CNN World, Ali Hussain Sibat is to be executed in Saudi Arabia for the crime of sorcery. Perhaps ironically, Sibat was arrested by Saudi's religious police while on a holy pilgrimage to the non-magic kingdom. Sibat had a television program in his homeland Lebanon whereby he would tell the future for callers. I suppose this makes him a Lebanese Miss Cleo. When psychics ask to be taken seriously in our own country, I doubt this is what they mean.

Bear in mind, Saudi Arabia remains in "good buddy" status for America which nominally concerns itself with freedom and democracy. I suppose if North Korea had a little oil we'd have a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor named after them by now. It would be called Kim Jong VanILla Swirl.

thanks to that last sentence, you'll be thinking of AAF subject lines for a while.
