Witchcraft In Saudi Arabia

Hi gewcew, This sounds like something from the seventeenth century and it's hard to believe that it's actually happening today. I agree with you that the words religious a police should never go together. Unfortunately, it does just as the words religious and politician go together. One should have nothing to do with the other. Blessings.

Far be it from me to tell someone else how to run their country but Saudi Arabia needs an uprising. This reminds me of the hysteria here in America hundreds of years ago.

Tigrinya is one of the official languages spoken in Eritrea, a small country located in East Africa. Ge’ez is the root language of Tigrinya - it is no longer spoken and used only in the Coptic Orthodox church liturgy. Ge’ez is comparable to Latin in the English language. The symbols in Tigrinya are called Fidel, which means alphabet. It is a phonetic writing system consisting of symbols representing syllables. There are thirty-seven root syllables in Tigrinya. In Saudi Arabia they consider witchraft as an offense against Islam. In one case Saudi court cited an instance in which a man allegedly became impotent after being bewitched by a woman accused of witchcraft now awaiting execution. Women are the worst sufferers. They cannot drive, appear before a judge without a male representative,or travel abroad without a male guardian's permission.
