Speaking of theocratic trash, the Guardian has a useful summary of offenses for which someone can be executed in ‘Saudi’ Arabia (it’s in focus because the Kingdom has just released some Brits it had been holding on various trumped up charges – not before a little torture, of course):

“Witchcraft, adultery, sodomy, highway robbery, sabotage, apostasy (renunciation of Islam) and “corruption on earth.”

The fascinating thing about that list is not just its cruelty and intolerance, but the depths of superstition that it reveals. “Witchcraft,” indeed.
