Maid sentenced for insulting the Qur’an
By Nour Abuzant
An Indonesian housemaid was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment and subsequent deportation for insulting the holy Qur’an in February last year.
According to the charge sheet, the sponsor informed the police that he found pages of the holy Qur’an burned in addition to black magic tools like incense.
According to the testimony of a policewoman, the maid said that she wanted to take revenge on her sponsor’s husband for frequently assaulting her. “For this purpose, I performed a black magic and I am the only one who can deactivate it,” the maid added in the police interrogation.
The Doha court of first instance also heard that the maid had worked in the house of her host family for almost two and half years.
She denied that she confessed to the charges in the police because she was promised to end the matter there if she did so.
The court, however, believed that the maid’s confessions were taken under reasonable circumstances.
The court suspended the jail penalty, considering that the suspect had a clean criminal record.

Newbies will think we communicate in part by telepathy
at least a newbie will think that this place is full of zombies
Yes, especially for the people who come in late and look over whet's happened on a thread in the last hours/days.
After an offline day, so many threads are reading so strangely to me now!
At least I know the explanation. What about the people who have missed all that? They'll just think that posters have all collectively lost it.
This pruning by the MODS is essential, but it leaves threads looking strange.
Or did she not? Is she a witch or is she not a witch? Actually she is not the first maid in the gulf to perform magic on her employers. Memo the women who served up urine laced drinks to their sponsor? A lady I knew back in SL who was a maid in the Gulf for awhile confessed to me that lacing a man's, read employers, drink with your own urine is a "black magic" technic to making him your slave!I've also heard stuff of pigeons blood been used etc..eeeeks! Gotta pity these women. I mean what kind of mentality should one posses to go experiment this way?
TB, I am? oh goody, let me check my calendar to see if I can fit it in on my busy schedule.. ;)
tented... errrr... I mean reformer is trying hard to blend in. Perhaps he has reformed, and is actually willing to be a part of the QL community this time. But let's see how long it takes before he has another outburst and gets banned again.
lets start a name the troll campaign?
At least it will be relevant news to QL
Trolls like Reformer above who has nothing worthwhile to contributeshd be deleted,... On the topic, they should have checked the brooms of the house for jet lag, before proclaiming her a witch!
Oh man.... I have just read back through the thread and it is all jumbled up. My comments make me look like a sissy bursting into tears. There was a lot of troll activity in this thread yesterday, and the MODS got their industrial strength delete key out to deal with them. But now there is stuff out of context. Blooming trolls are running riot at the moment. What on earth do they get out of such activity? Perhaps this is the only way they get to bully somebody without getting pummeled into the ground.
MJ is writing a book on the subject ;)
Cabbage thumbs up :)
TB, please leave all the crying to me... :(
the maid shouldn't have burned the pages from Quran, there are lots of other ways to get back at them...
People don't know how lucky they are..
We used to have to get up at twelve o'clock at night,half an hour before going to bed. LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.
Luxury!
Brilliant! You'd do John Cleese proud!
Witches 'n' brooms in Doha...Frenchieman must be right - it IS the end of the world :D
Ridiculous. After working for over two and a half years with this family they have nothing better to come up with against this poor woman
Don't feed the trolls cabbage
There they are :-) Ta flower
Reving my scooter and on my way :-)
EXACTLY..
I will provide the large weighing scale and the wood. You bring her. we will weigh her and then burn her at the stock !

I'm sure we can outrun a zimmer frame
Of course - who else lol
(whispers) Will he get us for saying that lol
I blame Brit as usual
I liked your post - very relevant, sorry for the hijack lol
Lol cabbage, splendid
There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Brit: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Cabbage: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Choco: Burn them.
Cabbage: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Choco: More witches.
Brit: Wood.
Cabbage: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Brit: ...because they're made of... wood?
Cabbage: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Choco: Build a bridge out of her.
Cabbage: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Choco: Oh yeah.
Cabbage: Does wood sink in water?
Brit: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Cabbage: No, no. What else floats in water?
Brit: Bread.
Choco: Apples.
Brit: Very small rocks.
Choco: Cider.
Brit: Gravy.
Choco: Cherries.
Brit: Mud.
Brit: Churches.
Choc: Lead! Lead!
TB: A Duck.
Cabbage: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Brit: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Cabbage: And therefore...
Choco: ...A witch!
Strange story....she worked for TWO & HALF years for this family...then she perfoms "black Magic" on the husband.
What is with all the negativity on this thread? TB, I got your back ;-)
She turned Timebandit into a newt. Luckily , he got better.
Ofcourse the hardest thing is to prove that she is actually a witch..
Do you know how ?
Or the ducking stool :-/
I wonder if she had a parsnip for a nose?
If she was a witch, then surely her and not the sentence should be suspended.
lol on comments here
Errrrr.... I think I'm going to cry
They CAN do that TB - surely the only reason to copy/paste items of news onto QL is to illicit some feedback and generate discussion on the issue - not just to regurgitate what anyone can read on GT or Penin - I agree, thats rubbish and pointless.
you got TB wrong..
he is one of the most balance Ql'r I have seen on the forum...
I enjoy his posts and humor...
tb, What happened? Today you are behind relevant newses.
Such charming people...
funny name ...lol
I am more interested in what people think about copy and past news articles. Even if they are from Doha. Would people prefer that stories such as this were not brought to their attention? Would people prefer to go and find their own news, or are they happy to be fed this sort of stuff?
i was waiting for this news to be brought up. waiting for interesting comments.
