Sorcerers of Dubai.............
“An African dubbed “the sorcerer” by Dubai police has been arrested in an undercover operation and charged with trying to dupe people into paying for black magic. Police said they had received tip-offs that the man was offering to heal people’s illnesses, solve marital problems and bring them financial gain – for a fee. His activities amounted to deception and theft, the charges say. Dubai’s anti-financial crimes unit dispatched teams to catch the man in the act. One agent posed as a jeweller suffering financial woes, while a second claimed to have domestic problems. Investigators said the suspect, who has not been identified, mixed a series of potions and spells, telling them the concoctions would change their lives. Salah Buassiba, who led the investigation, said the man claimed to be able to communicate with evil spirits and the devil…………”
Hopefully he will not get the chop-chop-the-head treatment; that can be painful if the swordsman misses or the sword is dull. But I don’t think they do that in Dubai: in the UAE they are usually more civilized in their punishments than Iran or Saudi Arabia.
The Gulf states, especially the UAE and Saudi Arabia, seem to import a lot of sorcerers, warlocks, and witches, especially from Africa. These two countries seem to have the greatest needs for such 'professionals'.
