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?

President Obama: "I Don't Bluff!!!" Uh, Pardon Me Sir But What About All Those Pesky Campaign Promises?
When commenting about
the challenge of keeping Iran from developing nuclear weapons and
America's promise(!) to not let that happen, President Obama said a
few days ago that "I am not a bluffer!". Are you kidding
me?
Based on President Obama's campaign promises (most of which went unfulfilled) one could easily justify labelling him The Bluffer-In-Chief because he didn't keep his word on most of his promises ... to his own citizens!. And he now expects us and Israel to believe that we can trust his promise to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons! C'mon folks! Does it make more sense to base our belief whether he's bluffing on words or on his historical lack of action on previous promises?
IMPORTANT QUESTION: If you were Israel's leader would you (based on President Obama's actual track record) trust President Obama's promises when your country's very existence depended on it?
President Obama's campaign promises didn't become truth so were they lies or bluffs or naivete? If naivete is the reason, isn't it likely that he's being naive now and will back down to Iran when real consequences loom? If his campaign promises were lies or bluffs, that's no better than naivete is it? Regardless how one dissects President Obama's latest not-a-bluffer claim, his record (assuming actual facts matter to you) is one of not doing much of what he says he'll do. If you were Netanyahu, what would you think and do? Be honest now!
