a seer condemned to death *

<p>He was to be beheaded this Friday, April 2. Ali Sibat saw his execution postponed. But for how long? You are probably wondering what horrible crime Ali Sibat must have committed to deserve such punishment. This 49-year-old Lebanese father of 5 children did not kill or rape anyone. He just “allowed himself” to give life advice and deliver predictions on Shéhérazade, a Lebanese TV show. What is totally commonplace in the world is considered a crime by Saudi fundamentalists. They took advantage of this good Muslim’s pilgrimage to Mecca to arrest him and forcefully extract a confession from him. Accused of witchcraft, Ali Sibat was sentenced to death on November 9. Like the Inquisition in the Middle Ages, Saudi Arabia uses the accusation of witchcraft everywhere. And many have lost their lives under such false accusation.</p> <p>In Saudi Arabia, Friday, a day of prayer for all Muslims in the world, is also a day of execution. Islam is a religion of love and sharing. Unfortunately, as in all religions, some madmen pervert sacred teachings to satisfy a thirst for power and blood.</p> <p>Amor Doloroso</p> <ul> <li>information noted in le figaro.fr of April 2, 2010.

Oooooops, il ne fait pas bon de s’exprimé librement dans ce coin du monde.
Il n’y a que l’air de libre.
