'Sorcerer' faces imminent death in Saudi Arabia


Many Saudi executions are beheadings by the sword in public places
The lawyer for a Lebanese man sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for witchcraft has appealed for international help to save him.
Ali Sabat was the host of a popular Lebanese TV show in which he predicted the future and gave advice.
He was arrested by religious police on sorcery charges while on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in 2008.
His lawyer, May el-Khansa, says she has been told Mr Sabat is due to be executed this week.

To be fair this isn't an islam thing. I'm surprised the Bible-bashers in the US aren't doing this already:

Leviticus 20:27 "'A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.'"

Imagine it. John Edward and Sylvia Browne not to mention the many TV evangelists who claim to get messages from the dead or read the future, all getting stoned to death

Does that mean the entire cast of Most Haunted could be put to death if we smuggled them into Saudi?

do any of you feel the cull on prophets and similar visionaries as limited the human race by removing said nutters from the gene pool?

I disagree, Islam specifically states that stuff happens because God wills it, therefore prediction of any sort is disallowed and punishable, this includes gambling, astrology, horoscopes, watching 2012, etc, it's nothing to do with spiritualism in this case.
