Morality police turn witch hunters

Saudi Arabia's powerful morality police is launching a witch hunt in the birthplace of Islam.

The Authority for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice is setting up special centers in all cities to "register complaints on sorcerers and charlatans, track them and terminate them," the authority's chief Sheikh Ibrahim bin Abdallah al-Ghaith told al-Madinah newspaper.

Islam forbids magic and practicing it is considered blasphemy.

The religious police have wide powers in Saudi Arabia, which imposes a strict version of Sunni Islam, to prevent the spread of drugs, alcohol and prostitution as well as stop unrelated men and women mixing in public.

1. The Christian fundies must be so jealous of them.

2. I saw those yahoos in action

in Riyahd back in 96. They ran wild in the streets beating people who did not comply to whatever moral laws were in effect at the time. No doubt this is exactly what dobson, falwell etc would love to bring to America.

I guess I'm not a good "christian" cause I think it would be great if constitutional liberties applied to gays as well.

3. Do you think they'll get Tom Greene? If so, I'm all for 'em. n/t

4. No, they only beat easy targets, mostly women.

5. Saudis looking for witches while the U. S. looks for Terrorist

Bet if we looked into each other's countries, we both would find what we are looking for....:shrug:
