Another witch found in Saudi Arabia

Boy, there has been a rash of witchings, severed wolfs heads and cast spells recently, and they seem to be centered in Saudi Arabia. One wonders what is in the water there, or could it be the heat?

Only in Islamic countries do you find this kind of behavior.

Saudi woman executed for 'witchcraft and sorcery'

A Saudi woman has been executed for practising "witchcraft and sorcery", the country's interior ministry says.

A statement published by the state news agency said Amina bint Abdul Halim bin Salem Nasser was beheaded on Monday in the northern province of Jawf.

The ministry gave no further details of the charges which the woman faced.

The woman was the second person to be executed for witchcraft in Saudi Arabia this year. A Sudanese man was executed in September.

'Threat to Islam'

BBC regionalist analyst Sebastian Usher says the interior ministry stated that the verdict against Ms Nasser was upheld by Saudi Arabia's highest courts, but it did not give specific details of the charges.

The London-based newspaper, al-Hayat, quoted a member of the religious police as saying that she was in her 60s and had tricked people into giving her money, claiming that she could cure their illnesses.

In the West she would be called a charlatan and charged with fraud. And last time I checked, head removal was not part of the punishment.
