Two maids get 10 years, 1,000 lashes for sorcery

Asians were accused of practicing witchcraft on their employers

A Saudi court sentenced two Asian housemaids to 10 years in jail and ordered their lashed 1,000 times each after they were found guilty of indulging in sorcery at their employers’ houses in the Gulf Kingdom, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Their Saudi employers reported the two maids to the Gulf country’s feared religious police, saying they had discovered that their families had been harmed because of sorcery practiced by the maids against them.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice who searched the two houses in Riyadh found talismans and other magic items in the bedrooms of the two maids, Sabq Arabic language daily said.

“The court found them guilty and sentenced them to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes each,” the paper said without identifying the maids or specifying the harm they caused.

Saudi Arabia, which strictly enforces Islamic law, has beheaded many persons convicted of practicing magic over the past years.

More than two million domestic servants work in Saudi Arabia, mostly from Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Africa.

Says what stupid flat-Earth savages these idiot mooselimbs are to believe in sorcery. And they claim to have invented Algebra.

It’s a cople of young Asian women; is sorcery what muslims call practicing the Buddhist faith?

I look forward to the day the Saudi’s run out of oil, and lose any world influence

The Saudis are no more civilized than the Taliban, Hezbollah, or Hamas. I will go to my grave sincerely believing we attacked the wrong sponsor of terrorism against us on 9-11 when we invaded Iraq. Saudi Arabia continues to be one of the largest sponsors of terrorism around the world through their Wahabbi madrasses, and yet we continue our all too cozy relationship with them.

F! the Saudis! F! Islam!

I bet there was really persuasive evidence of the “harm” that was done.

Wizard of Oz must be a big hit in Middle East.

“They’ll never survive the 1000 lashes.”

Likely 100 per year for 10 yrs. Still I doubt they would survive the first 100 lashes.

1000 lashes ? ... You mean that they are going to whip them to death for witchcraft. How very medieval of these barbarians

For all we know, the ‘talismans’ were a smartphone and a Kindle™.

Or perhaps a crucifix.

I don’t feel guilty.

Slaves in the USA lived longer than those left behind and in better conditions typically.

It was a harder world than the soft one we all now occupy.

A slave is a slave...skin color should not matter at all.

The rest of the world doesn’t treat the Negroid race as a special class. to be deferred to with particular status.

Screw these backward savages. Let them scrub their own toilets, mop their own floors, and cook their own food. While they are at it maybe these savages who practice the religion of hate and pieces should molest their own women. Wait they already do, then they kill them for dishonoring the family name. Call the Orkin man on these barbarians.

American feminists have a serious comment about this:

1000 lashes? There will be nothing left.

If this is administered in one session it WILL KILL THEM. One hundred lasses administered with maximum effectiveness has killed. I suspect they will be lashed almost to death and it will then be stopped until they heal and the barbarism will be repeated until they reach the magic number of 1000.

These people are beasts.

Honest question: if we had nuked Mecca, Medina, and Qom on 9/12/2001, would the situation in the world be any different now?

Possibly, it would have shown their Allah to be impotent.

Perhaps the maids were able to turn on a TV and their bosses were unable to explain how voices and images were able to come out of a box!

The only explanation (to a primitive person):

Sorcery!

Nice "Bewitched" reference there. That must make us old.

As for the vile Saudis... those two girls will never survive the lashes, much less the 10 years in prison. Barbaric feral beasts.

A lot of filipinas also go these countries for the work. It’s a sad deal for most.

The occult is real and mortally dangerous. Don’t ever joke about it, and don’t ever suggest that our country should align itself with the powers of darkness.

Instead of keeping these domestic jobs, they should be outsorcering them.
