Witchcraft in the Arab world is feared, but it is also practiced. Many people seek the advice of practitioners of the dark arts to end relationships, curse their enemies, and even to find a mate. Witchcarft is so feared that hardly a day goes by that some poor innocent isn't arrested for practicing witchcraft. One colleague's husband was arrested because he received something in the mail that was suppose to be connected to the practice. Now let me stress that to this day it is not known what was in the mail or even where it came from. It seems that in the Magic Kingdom the accused has no right to know what the evidence is. Any way, he was accused of magic and placed in jail for 3 three days while his sponsor tried to have him released. During this time the time the man went before a judge. He told the judge that he had no control over who sends what in the mail. He did not solicit anything such thing from anyone, nor did he know anyone who practiced such things. Finally, he was released with the final judgment pending. After about 6 months the charges were dropped.
After speaking to a friend whose husband is a high ranking official in the Saudi government he was told that he was framed by the police. How is that and why? He was told that he probably had pissed someone off. The moral to this story is be careful who you piss off.
But the story does not stop there….. The wife's immediate supervisor decided to exploit the situation and have her contract dissolved. Only after pleading her case to the president of the school was the decision revoked.
Still the story does not end……The supervisor then went around warning people about the teacher and her family, "Stay away from them they practice black magic."
Now, might I ask who is the real witch in this story?
