I have to begin this blog with a prayer that this story is completely bogus because it's so horrible but with various sources reporting it the story appears to be credible. I hope you're sitting down.
Incredible as it sounds, according to an MSNBC story today it appears that Muslims don't have any qualms about murdering their own youth. According to MSNBC, 14 children have been stoned to death so far in a wave of this in various areas of Iraq the past three weeks.
That's the number according to some of Iraq's more official sources. Incredibly, an unofficial report in the Brussels Tribunal estimated the number of killings to be between 90 and 100. The childrens' crime? Unacceptable hair and clothing styles. Check out MSNBC's story here:

I strongly desire to go on a rant about this but I can find no words sufficient to describe the horror I feel about this. Perhaps it's not necessary because, for people with an ounce of humanity, the story says all that needs to be said about what's going on there except it begs one question. This kind of behavior within a claimed religion of peace? Really?
