This in a country where they still have public executions and floggins, as well as the Mutaw'een having almost complete control of the population.

A few years ago they were responsible for a schoolfull of girls dying, school was on fire, but they wouldnt let the girls leave the building without their Abaya on, instead letting them burn to death <_<

Nothing that happens in Saudi should come as a surprise, which is a bit of a shame, nice country that is completely and royally screwed over by excessive/fanatic interpretation of Sharia law.

The appointment of King Abdullah really exaspirated this too, Sultan would probably have been much more of a moderate, and done a lot to open up Saudi to the western world.

Meh, off topic

yeah saudi is fucked up but this man must be retarded.

as a saudi citizen this man knew the risks in 'predicting people's futures'. As a muslim, this guy knew the risks he was taking. It's fucked up what they plan on doing to him, but damn, this man must be retarded. Psychics, mystics, and the lot aren't smiled upon in any country. They attempt to see what only God can see (so says the arabs). Any local mystic or psychic wouldn't be immediately executed, because they are most likely seen as non religious. Notice though, you will never see a psychic or a mystic in saudi arabia, ever. His international broadcast of his indiscretions just fed the fire. he could have done any other thing, EXCEPT pretend to tell people what will happen, (regardless of what they do or not).

Most wouldn't mind this. But in a country like saudi arabia. like Disp said, not surprised.

Yeah, Saudi Arabia is wild... I wouldn't even take a stop-over in Saudi Arabia...

This guy is not a Saudi national... he's from Lebanon and his show was broadcast in Saudi Arabia on satellite tv. Makes you wonder why they didn't just ban the program in the first place???
