SAUDI ARABIA Death to a witch in Quraiyat         woman accused of witchcraft, stunning NGO Human Rights Watch which has reacted by appealing to Saudi King Abdullah to stop the execution. The illiterate woman was detained by religious police in 2005 for allegedly causing impotence in one of her accusers. Ms Falih said that she was beaten and forced to fingerprint a confession that she could not understand because she cannot read. Saudi Arabia does not have a written criminal code and witchcraft is not defined as a crime. Yet the Saudi court in charge of the case passed a death sentence exercising its own discretionary powers to protect the nation's principles, soul and identity. For Joe Stork, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, this case underscores Saudi judges' inability to carry out objective criminal investigations. "Fawza Falih's case is an example of how the authorities failed to comply even with existing safeguards in the Saudi justice system," he added.

Friends, Please pay close attention to this article from Asia News.  The first reaction is to chuckle at the morons that could do this, but that is the wrong reaction!  Very wrong!   Notice firstly, what this poor woman was accused of, that she caused someone to be impotent.  Once again, we see the fantastic Islamic attitude towards sex, as well as their primitive horror of women.   Secondly please notice that the woman is illiterate.  The vast majority of women in Arabia are illiterate, because they are sub-citizens and not allowed to learn.   Thirdly, notice that she was killed for a law which does not exist.  This fantastic issue is glossed over by most western media, in Islam, the 'judge' has the right to make up laws as he goes along (BTW, always 'he', of course).  He has no necessity to resort to law if he can make it up to suit his mood.   Anyone who can't figure out what Sharia means to you and your family needs to do some very serious thinking about whether he really can continue to breath unassisted.   Please disseminate this.  Your life or the lives of your family may depend upon knowing this.
