Black Magic and Demons

There’s been an interesting discussion going on for several weeks now in Saudi Arabia concerning hiring domestic workers from Morocco. Saudis believe that Moroccan women practice black magic and that they should therefore not be allowed into Saudi homes. Now that domestic worker recruitment from Sri Lanka and Indonesia has been halted there is, however, a need to get workers from somewhere. It’ll be interesting to see how this debate ends and whether or not Moroccan women will be allowed to work in Saudi Arabia despite the black magic.

Speaking of black magic… last week, at K’s internship place one girl had some kind of a waking dream experience in the middle of the day. The girl in question had completely freaked out in the cafeteria during lunch break running out screaming “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!”. Can you guess how this was perceived by other students? That the girl was possessed by a demon. Yup, that’s right, a demon on campus going around possessing students. For the rest of the day, they were too scared to go into the bathroom poor things.
