He did something un-Islamic while a citizen and a resident of another country. When he came to SA for pilgrimage, they arrested him.

News next week:

All white people in Saudi to be convicted of drinking and premarital sex/adultery/homosexuality and sentenced to flogging followed by death by stoning. Rolling Eyes

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live," is the wording of the Book shared by Jews and Christians.

Well maybe sorcerers, necromancers, wizards and football hooligans should not come to KSA ?

Dear trap,
Didn't you forget drug-dealing?

"Saudi Arabia executed three drug traffickers on Sunday, beheading the men in public in a northern city.
The three Saudi security guards had been convicted of trafficking hashish using government vehicles, the Interior Ministry said.

Khamis bin Mabrouk al-Sayeri, Nasser bin Mohammed al-Fahadi and Zidan al-Oqaili al-Anzi were beheaded in the northern border city of Arar, according to the ministry.

They had been arrested loading an undisclosed amount of hashish into border guard vehicles.

Sunday's executions bring to 13 the number of people executed in Saudi Arabia in 2004. Last year at least 52 people, mostly drug smugglers, were beheaded."

But that was back in 2004

This is a bit more recent:

"i interior ministry, the total number of executions so far this year now stands at 117, four more than the number executed in all of 2000, the previous record high year.

In Riyadh, Pakistani national Omar Sardar was executed for "smuggling heroin concealed in his stomach." His compatriot, Jahangir Zarin Bin Adam Khan Mhanid was executed in Jeddah for the same offense. Nigerian Nureddin Mohammed was also executed in Jeddah, for cocaine trafficking.
The other two people executed last Friday were Pakistani nationals convicted of robbing taxis.

In an International Harm Reduction Association report on drug executions issued last month, the author cited Amnesty International as finding that 26 of 50 Saudi executions in 2004 were for drug offenses and "at least" 33 more occurred in 2005. There are no figures yet available for last year.

According to the IHRA report, the number of countries that have death penalty provisions for drug offenses has climbed from 22 in 1985 to 34 this year. While nearly three dozen countries, including the US, have the death penalty for some drug offenses, actual executions have only been carried out in China, Egypt, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam."

Regards,

And good news on the witchcraft front:

"A Lebanese man condemned to death for witchcraft by a Saudi court will not be beheaded Friday as had been expected, his lawyer said.

Ali Hussain Sibat (pictured), the father of five, was to be executed after noon prayers Friday, but a frenzy of media coverage, appeals by international human rights groups and intervention by several Lebanese government officials, may have saved his life, at least temporarily.

His lawyer, May al-Khansa, said she was still unsure whether the beheading had been waived or postponed.

Well, maybe his life will be spared, but let's not get a head of ourselves (so to speak.)
