Majeed Pejajj

Majeed Pejajj (1891-1943) was a Middle-Eastern Priest, who was executed by the Sudanese Government in 1943 for preaching a religion that went against the Koran.
==History==
Majeed trained to become a Muslim Cleric, and eventually became one in 1923. However, within five years he had begun to preach what appeared to authorities to be a form of "Idol worship" (banned in Islam), saying that everyone should worship the "Majeed Crystal", a small diamond that he claimed had once been owned by the Prophet Mohammed. In 1943 he was executed for his "blasphemous" beliefs.
