Alleged sorcerer arrested in Riyadh
2014-09-20
[ARABNEWS] Officials from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention Vice (Haia) in Riyadh have jugged
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
an African man accused of engaging in black magic to create rift in married couples for SR20,000 a client, said Turki Al-Shelail, Haia front man.
"Gimme RS20,000 or yer marriage is bust!"
"Which one?"

Haia officials have confiscated the material supposedly used by the man to cast spells.
"Don't touch that!"
"By Allan, Abdul! Yer hand's turned into a toad!"
"Make it stop jumping!"
"No! I'll get warts!"

Saudi bloggers have expressed their indignation at the heinous crime and urged authorities to behead him.
"Dat's right! Orf widdiz 'ead!"
"Those who turn to sorcerers to create division among members of society must be punished," said one blogger, who did not mention his name.
Ummm... What if the sorcery's total BS? I regularly sit around uttering Words of Power and nothin' ever happens.
Have you tried it in Soddy-controlled Arabia?
And what about good-hearted sorcerers who turn bats into people or make wells wet?
"God's wrath will be incurred on people who try to create division among married couples and who pay huge amounts to destroy homes and families," said Mouda Alaf.
"Y'see, honey? I was only shaggin' Fatima because somebody laid a curse on me!"
"Damn those sorcerers! Come on, Moh! I'll make you a special dinner!"

Another blogger urged security officers to catch people who turn to sorcerers to do their dirty work.
"You there! Yer under arrest! Book 'im, Mahmoud! Soliciting Sorcerers One!"
"The sorcerer should be asked to break his black magic spells before being beheaded," said another blogger.
"Ummm... Lemme get this straight: I undo the spells, then you behead me?"
"Yeah. Them's the rules."
"It'll take awhile to undo the spells..."
"How long?"
"'Bout seventy years."

#1  Christ, if Fred writes like this its pure scripture and you get to laugh besides. He's better than Luke, John, and that Matthew guy, in my book.
