RO: Savages in Syria kill 14 year old for joke about God.

A bit of recreation outrage from unhappy Syria I think you should be aware of - ironically the Godly turn the place into a living hell. A 14 year old boy, who had no schooling because of the war, spent most of his days selling coffee on the street. Someone asks him for a free cup. “Not even if the Prophet himself returns,” he replied.

The consequence? He is dragged into a car, beaten, stamped on then shot three times.

Primitive barbarism is alive and well in 2013 and all should know about it, that once you convince yourself you have a divine mandate morality can be twisted into whatever you want, even to justify murdering children. What’s next, witch-burnings?

It’s suggested that the killers were shabiha, who are using the uprising largely to spread mayhem. In fairness, all self-respecting Muslims in Syria have condemned these murderers saying it has no role in Sharia. Myself, I just think it’s a shame there likely isn’t a Hell for them to go to.

Witch burning never goes out of style.

Apparently, there were hundreds of onlookers, including police. :confused::confused::confused:

eta: OK, I found a little better article: Janet Ware and Andrew Watea charged with murder over Kepari Lanieta, burnt alive for being 'witch' and 'killing boy with sorcery' in Papua New Guinea | Daily Mail Online

Still weird (and, yes, I realize it’s from a few months ago).

In fairness, some of its blasphemy is lost in translation.

Ah… it’s a prophet deal.

I bet they had to check first though.

Before my first cup of coffee I tend to over react.

Sheesh, tough crowd.

Maybe I will bring this story up in the next thread about tipping your barista.

  1. Give away free cup of coffee.
  2. ???
  3. Prophet!

Any chance we can get Dane Cook booked at the Civil Unrest Lounge of the Damascus Hilton?

Personally, I think they shot him because he just wasn’t funny.

Hmmm. To play it safe, Elucidator best stay in the U.S.

It would have been better if he had been Paula Deen. Then, he would only have lost his job.
