If you won’t let me nitpick needlessly then I will no longer have a function here. Other than annoying people with my stupidly long user name.
That’s OK – I like nitpicking on irrelevant points too, when I get a chance.
To be fair, this guy really should have seen this coming; that way he could have kept the situation from coming to a head…
At least he won’t have to worry about dyeing his beard or shaving his head.
He’ll probably get in trouble for not doing that now.
Yeah but we got that whole “not sentencing believers to death” thing going on over here. We win. U-S-A! U-S-A!
I meant April Fool’s Day, of course, but I guess it is also Maundy Thursday. I apologize for any mistaken impression I might’ve given that I’m religious.
Do we sentence nonbelievers to death? :eek:
I didn’t know dyeing your beard was part of the hajj. For a country that executes homosexuals, isn’t that a little… gay?
I say we start up a fund to send him and his ilk on an Arabian tour.
It denotes a hajji. I don’t think it’s actually required. Plus, they use henna. That’s manly, right?
For a moment there, until I saw the link, I thought someone was going to execute a TV weatherman.
But do they shave it OFF??!!?? :eek:
That’d be cruel and unusual, even by Saudi Arabian standards.
This made me laugh, but the fact that a real person is about to get beheaded for pretty much exactly what weathermen do (predict the future) is really pathetic.
I wonder if weather prediction is actually allowed in Saudi Arabia. Sure smells like sorcery to me. Maybe weathermen there deliberately lie to show they have no actual magical powers.
I believe that’s what our weathermen do, too. 
To be fair, there isn’t much variation in Saudi Arabian weather. Perhaps they get a pass for saying stuff like “And it’ll be another scorcher in Riyadh today, with blowing sands and temperatures reaching 120 degrees…”
I can see beheadings if they predict rain and it doesn’t come though. That’s got to be a “mile away-er”.
Point already made.
Well, they’d probably catch you if you tried that. They use the Centigrade scale there (like the civilized world ;)).
His crime was the sorcery of predicting the future, but he did not predict his conviction, therefore he did not really predict the future, therefore there was no sorcery.
