I don't know what you mean, but if you mean the picture at that link i have posted, it's tools for various people who got caught doing the same activities, not for the person in this case. By the way, do you believe in demons?
I can't read Arabic as you know, you said there were photos of the tools this man allegedly used to commit crimes. I saw some pieces of paper with Arabic written on them, some Pokemon dolls, some jewelry or charms, a hat that says "I heart Jesus", among other things. I saw no "tools" that could plausibly be used to harm anyone.
Thanks for posting the evidence according to the Saudi authorities. I have to look more closely at it, but it appears the man is still not being convicted of doing sorcery in Lebanon. Rather, he is accused of committing fraud and conspiracy to harm people using "sorcery", on Saudi territory. That is different from what I thought was the case, but there are still problems.
First of all, I'm concerned that the Saudi religious police engaged in
entrapment. Second, though it would not surprise me if he was a fraud, in that case he can't be a sorcerer, so his offense was deception and taking someone's money, and the punishment should fit the crime. Third, if this TV host truly is a dark wizard a la the Harry Potter children's books ...
... then he can't be convicted of fraud, and he can't be convicted of conspiring to cast evil spells without solid, scientific proof that he actually has this power.
There is not a single documented case of magic or sorcery that is acceptable to the standards of rigorous, scientific evidence. I would have a very difficult time finding scientists who disagree with this.
You probably think I'm being so skeptical as to be closed-minded. But you have to realize, the history of human civilization is overflowing with superstition and nonsense. According to our ancestors the world was full of demons, witches, werewolves, vampires, and so on. In case after case after case, when an objective scientific approach is applied, the evil spirits vanish. We know from the agonizing experience of history that people will believe they see the influence of demons, witches, monsters, and so forth, many people will confess, even when it isn't true. You don't need to cast a spell on some people to make them go into a hysterical fit. You just have to get them to *believe* a spell has been cast on them. Imagination and superstition do the rest. I could relate countless examples of this. The weight of past experience leaves open the door that every case of supposed "sorcery" is a case of superstition and imagination. The only way to prove one way or the other would be with airtight scientific evidence, especially when a man's life, his wife and five children are at stake.
To answer your question: no, I don't believe in demons. I believe in facts and evidence. I have not seen a shred of evidence that proves this man actually harmed anyone with magical powers, or that he has the ability to do so.
This does not necessarily have to do with my being an atheist, by the way. The Catholic Church and every enlightened Christian since the Dark Ages still occasionally admit they believe demons exist. But they are very skeptical of real-life, contemporary cases because so many have turned out to be clearly deception or self-deception. This is a documented fact, I could provide many examples if you like, it's truly fascinating and eye-opening. I don't expect you to accept jinns don't exist, but I do hope you will apply a skeptical and scientific attitude to each individual case of supposed magic or demons actually intervening in the world. Many physicists believe the three fundamental forces of physics can be combined into a single force, but they are very skeptical of anyone who claims to have discovered it. They believe such a force exists but it would take powerful evidence to prove such-and-such equation is the correct one. I think everyone, including modern-day Muslims, would gain in both wisdom and humanity to adopt this approach, especially considering ancient Muslim scholars contributed so much to science and skepticism.
