My answer would be:
No, No, 42 and I would not necessarily agree (in that order).

Could you please link your source to your number 42.

If you have no link/reference-you point is an opinion-as it is unproven.

If it was a joke, sick and unfunny-imo.

42, that is a very precise number. Got any links?

As you rightly point out, all we can do here is give our opinion (imo). However, the answer '42' is the standard response given in many academic arenas to a question that is impossible to answer, where there is no answer or where the question would take so long to answer that the question itself is lost or forgotten. The original reference is fully explained here

Impossible to answer? Nonsense!

Here is the evidence of Muslims sons killing their biological sisters because they have turned their back on Islam, and there are plenty more examples to be found. In order to answer my question, all you have to do is find a few examples in the last few decades.

Mind you, this isn't some Muslim hit piece, it is a well written article on the problem.

I believe the particular question was 'How many Christians kill their sister because she turned her back on Christianity?' However, I am very old and get confused easily.

Yeah, as opposed to How many Muslims kill their sister because she turned her back on Islam?

I think this man deserves a full psychological evaluation before he is as so many of you wonderfully said beheaded himself. I find it rather funny that so many people who are so supposedly peace loving cry out for the death penalty at the first sign of a terrible crime such as this. Personally I think that solitary confinement for the rest of his remaining life would be a worse punishment than death. Oh and by the way I think I remember reading somewhere that if the family of a murder victim forgives the murderer in a Muslim country the murderer is let go or something along the lines of that. I might be wrong on that though.

On a personal note I think that public beheading as a form of capital punishment should be reinstated. I believe that seeing somebodies head rolling around on the ground with blood gushing from their neck and their eyes still blinking would greatly deter the murder rate in this country.It may sound barbaric but Saudi Arabia which still has public beheading as a form of capital punishment has a ridiculously low crime rate.Thats my two cents.

I don't know. Someone said the father was there and attempted to intervene, but the other eyewitnesses and the security camera footage from the market contradicts this.

I guess you'll just have to wait a bit to get the follow-up. Dawn will be in another 4 hours in Saudi Arabia. There might be another update on that site by then.

* thanks for the updates and the links.

What's confusing about the whole thing is the whereabouts of the father.

So was he there or not?

I guess mental instability probably runs in the family.

Crying as she spoke, she kept repeating that she would sue everyone who broke her heart.

What Mother would think of monetary compensation after such an ordeal?

No eye for an eye here.
I don't think the uncle will serve any time because it looks like she is prepared to forgive her bro, for the right price that is.

Thanks to WalkingFox/Attari (whichever identity she is using today) for clearing this up for me.

I for one believe a more correct answer would be (ahem)
"All of them!"
.... if any.

Perhaps this was a CIA/ISI operation to create more Western distain and revive support for a "never ending war".

As MGauntz said in his post, I have to admit my emotions do get the better of me when children are involved. As far as my opinion on the Peoria, Illinois case. This is no different. Look I just think that these extremists are everywhere in the ME they don't think twice about sacrificing there life or anyone else's. Take the case of one of our own military officers dropping a grenade in the officers tent in the name of Alla?
it is like they are preprogrammed.

Oh come now, when it comes to "Western disdain" some of them folks don't need any help from the CIA.

And this is the land where Bush is good friends with

Barbaric as this was, did it actually have anything to do with being a Muslim or was it just a sick murderous act?
In the West we have our own twisted sickos, sexually abusing, then beating to death toddlers and young children. Child killing is not a Muslim-only trait, neither is beheading.

Murder is murder, whatever the colour or religious background.

well mohammed did it also, beheaded whole tribes with children, he did what any good muslim would do, follow in the footsteps of mohammed.

It goes against TRUE muslims beliefs when innocents are killed, this evenincludes Jihad were women and children will not be touched by any TRUE muslim even those taking part in a holy war.

Sadly muslims have received bad press as of late.

This crime is barbaric, horrific and vile to the point of turning my stomach.... no matter who you are or what religion you are in, the murder of innocents is sickening.

Just because the population is 90% muslim, does NOT mean this is a typical muslim act, far, far from it.

Sad, but the only thought that gives me hope is that little baby is no longer suffering.

Peace to the world

Mr-lizard

yeah right

It was mentioned way back in this thread that a good way of gauging any society or civilisation is to study the response to something like this.

I'm guessing that we have more in common with other cultures than some of us would like to believe. Certainly with regard to the percentage of people with some kind of blood lust. Or maybe I'm mistaken. Perhaps the percentage is significantly higher in some countries.

What the hell does Bush have to do with this?

If the jury is still out as to whether the religion or culture played a role in this, what makes you think there is a dubya connection?

I would state the death of a baby by starvation in Peoria say a great deal about our culture, and where we are heading.

Just as the beheading of a baby in Saudi Arabia says a great deal about Muslim Culture.

In the West, we suffer from indifference, and lack of emotional connection. The way that our technology is changing us is creating a whole new set of social problems. Our success and our high productivity has literally lead us to a situation where we have things too easy, and we have too much time on our hands without constructive ways to fill out time. In the seventies it was party until you puke, the movie "Trainspotting" featured a similar incident where the baby dies from neglect because everyone was nodding on heroine. In this story from Peoria, apparently everyone (the two parents and the roomate) was too wrapped up into computer games to even take care of their own child. You got to wonder if they were not also stoned out of their minds, but no accusations of drug use have been made, and certainly this would have been reported if this was the case.

The beheading of baby in Saudi Arabia is a whole different, almost opposite situation. The child's Uncle apparently killed the nephew he loved because he would rather the child be dead than turned over to his father, who in a Muslim country was able to take complete control of the child from the mother and her family. This was a barbaric response to a barbaric justice system.

Both are incredibly heinous crimes, but almost completely opposite in nature.

There is no telling what this man has already seen and done to do this to a little innocent baby, that has nothing to do with their argument. He can't help it.
