I know that the trial actually happened some time ago, but it's the first I've heard of it and his execution is just about to take place. Apologies to all if this is old news to everyone else.

Good lord, I was hoping that this was a bad-taste April Fool's joke. Tragic what our "allies" get away with when they allow foreign investment in their resources.

I think the death penalty is bad and would save money in Saudi Arabia. Or something.

I think if they had imprisoned him for sorcery, that would be unjust and therefore strong support for abolishing prisons.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley.

Guys like John Edwards wouldn't have the chance of a snowball in h***. Or Criss Angel. Holy smokes!

I'm glad we live in America where we can still do magic without worrying about losing our head...LITERALLY!

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Any way I can get John Edward and Sylvia Brown next on the list?

Those people are unreasonably draconian. Also, ignorance gone to seed, if you ask me.

So it looks like the gracious Saudis had decided to postpone the execution temporarily, thus allowing the poor slob to live in mortal terror for his life for another week or so...

Such compassion!

And?

They hire a magician with a gold guillotine to complete the prank yet? Or do they have a different April Fools Day there?
