Too late.

A special unit of the religious police pursues magical crime aggressively, and the convicted face death sentences.
The sorceress was naked.
The sight of her bare flesh startled the prudish officers of Saudi Arabia's infamous religious police, the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV), which had barged into her room in what was supposed to be a routine raid of a magical hideout in the western desert city of Madinah's Al-Seeh neighborhood. They paused in shock, and to let her dress.
The woman -- still unclothed -- managed to slip out of the window of her apartment and flee. According to the 2006 account of the Saudi Okaz newspaper, which has been described as the Arabic equivalent of the New York Post, she "flew like a bird." A frantic pursuit ensued. The unit found their suspect after she had fallen through the unsturdy roof of an adjacent house and onto the ground next to a bed of dozing children.
They covered her body, arrested her, and claimed to uncover key evidence indicating that witchcraft had indeed been practiced, including incense, talismans, and videos about magic. In the Al Arabiya report, a senior Islamic cleric lamented that the incident had occurred in a city of such sacred history. The prophet Muhammad is buried there, and it is considered the second most holy location in Islam, second to Mecca. The cleric didn't doubt the details of the incident. "Some magicians may ride a broom and fly in the air with the help of the jinn [supernatural beings]," he said.
The fate of this sorceress is not readily apparent, but her plight is common.

Muslims... muggles on steroids...
I don’t get it: Why would people who worship Satan be against witchcraft?
“I don’t get it: Why would people who worship Satan be against witchcraft?”
If you can believe that an ex-convict, child molester is “the prophet” why is ANYTHING hard to believe?
Witches tend to be independent women, that is what they are at war with.
If it wasn’t for oil, these knuckle-dragging barbarians would still be riding camels looking for trade caravans to pillage for trinkets and slaves. They are wealthy only through good fortune and the exertions of people far better than themselves.
We have found a witch! May be burn her?
The shocking part is they didn’t stone her for being naked in her own room.
The one thing I have never understood about idiot who would burn witch’s is that if they really believe the witch has power, why wouldn’t she use it against them to save herself.
There is no such thing as a witch, a ghost, or Climate change that man can alter.
Come on, Edward, do you really think we’ll buy that she turned you into a newt again? We’ll test her with a duck instead.
“I don’t get it: Why would people who worship Satan be against witchcraft?”
The Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia all believe in this stuff. There are several reports a year in Hong Kong of Muslim maids trying to cast black-magic spells on their employers by doing things like putting small amounts of urine or menstrual blood into coffee or tea which is supposed to magically bring bad luck(A good argument for a non-Muslim Filipino maid BTW).
When I was an undergraduate I had a roommate in the dorm who was from Jordan. The guy was a devout Muslim but he carried charms and wards against evil spirits wherever he went. Maybe he was an exception but at least in the Islamic countries I have had any experience with such superstitions and a believe in demons, ghost, malevolent spirits and things like that is quite common. In Asia it is almost like the Muslims still believe in all the Hindu/Buddhist deities but can’t put a god-box outside their door like the Buddhist to placate them.
Mohammed supposedly went out into the desert and preached to and converted jinns and spirits that lived there to Islam. It is one of the miracles in the Haddith.
Leave it to the vigilance CPVPV to track down the baddies. They probably sent an alert to the NSA.
CC
But they saved the gang rape for later.
Does she weigh the same as a duck?
maybe they can bring their antiWitchcraft “crusade” to WashDC?
Too late.
If so they let a Democrat run this pogrom, expect a surge in witches and witchcraft in Saudi Arabia.
You first need to test her to see if she’s a witch.
got it, ha ha.
and frankly Newt makes good sense more often (not always to be sure!) than many of the other politicians up there...
so if he is an amphibian, the others must be what? pure slime or?
