Saudi Arabian man sentenced to death for sorcery

A man in Saudi Arabia is being accused of sorcery. Ali Hussain Sibat is being accused of essentially witchcraft because he has a TV show where he "predicts" the future and gives advice to his audience. He has been sentenced to death. He went to court in Mecca and Medina to make appeals, but in both courts he was still sentenced to death.

This is of global importance because it shows how irrational Saudi Arabia's government can be. They have managed to accuse a man of committing a crime that is physically impossible, and if he were in America, he would not be in trouble.
