Naked ‘Sorceress’ Falls From the Sky

ArabNews reported Members of the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice received a call of a suspected African “sorceress” in the holy city’s Al-Seeh neighborhood. Members of the committee along with police went to the suspected den of the black arts to find a naked African woman. Embarrassed about busting into an apartment containing a naked woman,

The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice were the barbarians that let an entire building full of women burn to death, not allowing them to escape the fire, and they are embarrasses about busting into an apartment containing a naked woman.

police paused just long enough for the woman to attempt an escape, still naked, through the window of her flat. Police followed in pursuit to discover that the woman had crashed through the ceiling of the neighbor’s flimsy house and landed on the floor next to a bed of sleeping children. The woman was arrested, but not before she was provided some dignity in the form of clothing.

They did not care about the witch's feelings, but they did not want to further embarrass the religious police.

OTB blogged Some mighty gentlemenly folks on the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. But, then, what else would you expect? I’m not sure of the technical distinction between a sorceress and a witch, let alone whether they would survive translation. Nonetheless, there seems to be a consensus that the woman was naked. No photos were available.
