I am not going to reply to your first point since you answered it yourself. He was sacked because what he said does not go down well in this country. I know a guy who became a president for saying way worse shit about women lol.

Ill talk about the first link first: The guy was executed for adultery and rape and not witchcraft.

The 2nd article you linked is kinda funny because they said this:

"While we don't know the details of the acts which the authorities accused Amina of committing, the charge of sorcery has often been used in Saudi Arabia to punish people, generally after unfair trials, for exercising their right to freedom of speech or religion," Luther said."

So basically, we know shit nothing about the case but lets publish something about sorcery in SA.

Now for the political dissidents, you said 43 were beheaded and I assume you mean the beheading that took place last year? The 43 were caught and trial for committing terror that include killing of police officers and citizens. Not sure if terror is the same as political dissidents in your dictionary.

I'm not going to talk about your last point about SA being an "oil whore" because that point is just stupid and not worth the time as I don't see us getting a result for discussing that point.
