According to the Arabic website Al Shorfa,
an al-Qaeda affiliated group in Yemen, called Ansar al-Sharia (or the
“Supporters of Sharia Law") beheaded a woman on April 11 for “practicing
magic and sorcery.”
Members of the group broke into the home of
Sharifa Amr—a local healer who used natural herbs to treat sick
people—“beheaded her, and then hung her severed head in front of the
home of another popular healer in the region, as a warning that he might
share her fate.”
The remainder of the report notes how several Yemeni officials
condemned the attack—not because it is absurd to murder
herbalists-deemed-sorcerers, but because the “Supporters of Sharia”
actually contradicted Sharia, at least somewhat. Read the rest on: Jihad Watch
