Al-Marsad newspaper: Writer Mishari Al-Dhaidi commented on the fact that some people follow charlatans willingly, whether ancient or modern, pointing out that the matter is not limited to ancient sorcery, and that there are those who are professionals in “intellectual sorcery” and “political fraud.”
Spread of viruses of ignorance
He said during an article published in Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper entitled “The Old Sorcerers… and the New”: “When a person resigns from his mind, expect everything strange from him, for the mind is what rationalizes a person from submitting to his blind instincts and reckless emotions… Do not rely on the progress of science And the flow of information to all people raises the level of public awareness… On the contrary, perhaps this comprehensive interconnection between human beings today contributes to the ease of the spread of viruses of ignorance and bacteria of superstition, served this time by a handful of digital spices on the “Tik Tok” or “X” platforms, etc.
Nigerian Pastor Quorum
He continued: A few days ago, the BBC published a journalistic investigation, which took some time in cooperation with other parties, regarding the story of the Nigerian priest, the “fraudster,” and the television preacher known as TB Joshua. This man succeeded in attracting millions of people to him through a series of many tricks to seduce people to He was enchanted by his superstitions, and claimed that he cured incurable diseases and solved problematic problems. He even went so far as to claim that he revived the dead! In 2004, the Nigerian Broadcasting Authority banned stations from broadcasting live the priest’s alleged miracles on terrestrial television, which prompted Joshua to launch a channel “Emanuel TV” via satellite and then via the Internet.
The tricks of charlatans
He continued: The strange thing is that the tricks of charlatans of this type are similar regardless of the religion to which they belong. This Christian Joshua used to deceive patients that he was able to heal them with blessed juice, and ordered them to leave the medicines prescribed for them, but it turned out that in secret he was ordering his followers to bring the same medicines and crush them. In these “blessed” juices!
Gulf scammer
He added: A few years ago, there was a Gulf swindler who claimed to cure incurable diseases, and when he was banned from the media, he launched his own satellite channel, opened branches in London, Paris, and other capitals, and formed a major network and greater wealth, and among his clients were names – especially women. – From the privileged social classes.
Viruses
He wondered: How can a person be led, with all his will, behind these charlatans, all the time, when there is no value in continuous awareness in making them immune to quackery viruses? The most dangerous question is: Is quackery confined to the form of a charlatan or someone claiming a religious identity, whether Muslim, Christian, or Hindu, who says that he is He heals the sick with blessings?! Or might quackery take on a modern character?!

He said: There is a modern form of ancient sorcery, in the form of those who are called “coach life” or those who practice “self-development,” for example?! And the more dangerous question than this is: Is quackery limited to these examples, or are there also those who practice “intellectual sorcery” and “Political fraud” by presenting “blessed” analyzes that eliminate – as they claimed – the need for taking real healthy mental medications?!
Logical laws
He added: These health medicines are not in the form of pills to be swallowed, but rather in the form of logical laws that preserve the integrity of minds and the integrity of thinking… O Preserver of minds, protect our minds.
