We have another story of a Muslim mob murdering a person for offending Islam. A woman named Farkhunda, 32, in Kabul had reportedly burned a copy of the Koran inside a riverside shrine. She was then set upon by a huge mob that burned her alive and then threw her into the Kabul river. This was deemed the moral response to an immoral act by the crowd. [Update: It turns out that the accusations against Farkhunda may be untrue and that she was actually defending what she viewed as the degrading act of selling amulets in a mosque when she was attacked]
Four people have been arrested by the crowd watching and encouraging this despicable act was so large that they broke the railing of the shrine itself in pushing forward for a better look.
The murder occurred in the very capital of Afghanistan at the Shah-Do Shamshira mosque.

Pogo, I’m not sad, it’s you who appears to be a sad representative of the conservative ideology. I know otjer conservatives who would tell you pretty quickly that your views are extreme.
Quoting anarmyofficer above:
————————————–
Sad? Yes. Surprising? No. Don’t insult the nuthouse while you’re standing in their common-room.
I commented a long time ago about the sad state of progression in our efforts to turn this country around. Nothing much has changed, in that we’re trying to wear down a rock (unchanging Afghan culture), with waves off the ocean (ridiculous amounts of money and American lives).
I also despise calling their religion Islam, since 90% of them can’t read their own religious text. They follow the religious leaders, and their interpretations of the religion… not their actual texts per-se. It’s more of a cult than it is actual Islam.

I like it with one edit: Nothing much has changed, in that we’re trying to wear down a rock (unchanging Afghan culture), with
waves off the ocean (ridiculous amounts of money and American lives).
How about beating the rock with our foreheads?
What’s the saying about crazy??? “Repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”???
And I like what Isaac said above (huh?????): So yeah, yeah, let’s just shoot the most mean ones–I’m sure there won’t be any others who crop and take their place….
Really????
LOL! No need for me to complain about you folks, you reveal yourselves for all the world to see. I don’t really need to do a thing but encourage you to speak your collective mind.
@Pogo
Oh, what a pun! LOL! Really. all you have to do is cut down on the number of hook-ups with strangers among gay men, and it has a beneficial effect. The facts that gays run wild in America is the reason why the HIV rate is sooo high. Funny how the left never notices all the dead gay bodies piling up. One would almost think they really don’t give a hoot about gays.

The authoritarian mindset does not brook being confused by facts that aren’t congruent with its intellectually and emotionally corrupt weltanschauung.
“And so authoritarian.”

NTTAAWT.
@Inga
And, it never takes you long to let your killer flag fly in its full glory! Ah, but what’s a 20% incidence rate of HIV among friends and lovers, anyway. .

Helping gay men stay alive = Bigotry.
Nursing by Inga 101.
@ Squeeky:
True, but that would require gay men to not do whatever their little frankfurter tells them to, and that -of course- Must Not Stand!
Wow, it didn’t take Squeeky long to let her bigot flag fly in it’s full glory. Nice group of folks, eh?
@Inga (Annie)
“Pogo, that you don’t view them speaks to your closed mind. I guess you are stuck in that rut and don’t read or view anything that doesn’t fit your narrative. Narrow, limited closed, so sad.”
And so authoritarian.
The voters of Israel have spoken. The voters in the US spoke loudly in 2014, and it looks like even more loudly in 2016.
Pogo, victimhood? Hardly. The only one you’re hurting with your hateful comments is yourself actually. It reflects badly on your humanity.
@Pogo
What I find hilarious is that adhering to Scott Lively’s admonitions will result in less gay men dying from HIV, because they will have to be very careful, and therefore not hook up and get sodomized by as many partners. Meanwhile, Inga’s advice, that gay guys ought to be able to bend over and spread their cheeks for as many partners as they wish because it’s nobody’s business, will result in a lot more deaths from HIV/AIDS for gay men.
Gee, with friends like Inga, who needs enemies???

Pogo, LOL!!
Inga retreats to the liberal Fortress of Solitude: victimhood.
My job is finished. Feelbad completed.
Well Pogo, when I read your repetitive racist, misogyntistic and Islamaphobic comments I feel violated.
“…that you don’t view them speaks to your closed mind”
An ‘open mind’ doesn’t mean a sewer.
One’s mind should be closed to garbage.
Your videos needed less than 3 seconds of viewing before I knew they were propaganda.
Life’s too short to waste on agitprop.
Pogo w/ the knockout…”Down goes Espo, down goes Espo, down goes Espo.” Said in my best Cosell voice. Pogo realizes the core of the dispute between himself and the Dixie barrister is the envy attorneys have for docs. The Dixie barrister is too muddled to have any objective understanding. I have seen the bitter envy[one of the 7 deadly sins] working med mal cases for over 3 decades. Doctors are revered, attorneys are reviled. And, some of the reverence for docs is unearned, and a bit of the derision for attorneys unwarranted. But, c’est la vie. Just some edifying info from someone who has extensive knowledge of the rivalry.

Notwithstanding your “edifying info,” for your own protection, you may want to read the studies showing medical intervention, with doctors in charge, as being either the third or first leading cause of death in the US:
Barbara Starfield, M.D., MPH published in the *Journal of the American Medical Association* in 2000 the results of her and her colleagues’ Johns Hopkins School of Public Health’s study showing allopathic medicine to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States, including, but not limited to:
• 12,000 deaths per year due to unnecessary surgery
• 7,000 deaths per year due to medication errors in hospitals
• 20,000 deaths per year due to other errors in hospitals
• 80,000 deaths per year due to infections in hospitals
• 106,000 deaths per year due to negative effects of drugs
http://alternative-doctor.com/specials/Dr_%20Barbara_Starfield.htm
A later, more comprehensive study by Gary Null, Ph.D, et al, shows that medical care is the number *one* cause of death. From the study’s abstract:
“A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million.(1) Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics.(2, 2a)
“The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million.(3) The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million.(4) The total number of iatrogenic deaths shown in the following table is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251. (5)”

As the death and injury caused by allopathic medicine becomes increasing well known, and absent any serious reform by the US medical establishment, you’ll probably be witnessing considerably less reverence for its practitioners, both in and out of court.
