14th Century
 
This has to be seen to be believed. In the 21st century - that this could be in the main stream media is a sad reflection on how primitive the society here is.

There is a reason why in the Islamic calendar, it's 1435 and not 2014! :O

However, superstitious folks are everywhere, in every country.
True - but I don't know of any western country's court system that would actually convict a person on grounds of demon possession.

Rex, but it isn't the west in which Dubai lies is it. Why then, ought to be conform to that standard?

Sometimes it's remarkable why some people do this to themselves, subject themselves to living in a primitive society and not go back to signing on for the dole in the wonderful West (from where I too come from).

I'm sure Tiger Woods and others wish they lived in 14th century too.
