Maybe not. I'm never shocked by cruelty. Maybe its because my husband was killed there or maybe just hearing the stories. Cutting off a young girl's clitoris with razors, pounding them with rocks, throwing acid in their faces...
beheadings are much cleaner than burying a woman up to her shoulders and throwing rocks at her head until she's dead--especially when her oldest son must be the first to throw them...bleh...cruelty.
Everyone is someone's child that dies. Every mother cries and bleeds. It's more graphic, but every mother who loses a child feels that pain.
I don't know what to say except no news story is worth your life. Here's the news in the Middle East: Violence in the Middle East today!
Stay home.
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky..

There is no reason why we cannot mourn what was done to this young man and his family. His life was snuffed out. That in no way miminizes the deaths of the others now does it? No it does not. And yes, please, convince PBW to get his ass out of there.Guys, she is saying only that this is one act of cruelty in a cruel world. Pedophilia to me is unconscionable. Burning kids, beating them...this happens daily here.
In Darfur the women were gang raped, cotton stuffed in their mouths and set on fire. On FIRE.
If I had to go I'd rather be beheaded than burnt alive.
These people are dangerous and harmful and I have said this to PBW that his career is not worth his life. Stay out of their countries, let them have their stonings, and beheadings, and savagery.

What is there to mourn, exactly? I didn't even know who these guys were until they showed up on the news.

Nobody requires you to mourn anything. I am a different person than you.

That much is obvious. The question still stands. Why mourn people you never knew existed?

Because i do. It's what makes me me. And I wouldn't change that part of my humanity for anything. I feel for the young man, I mourn his dying, I mourn the way he died, and most of all I feel for his mother.

Oh absolutely, we can sympathize with his parents and feel bad at his passing. In this world, however it's unfortunately unreasonable in all its cruelty to mourn for everyone who suffers. We'd do nothing else all day. And that is a reason to mourn in and of itself.
Why are we so cruel?
This is why I follow Jesus. If you follow him to the letter and if everyone else did there would be peace, love, and harmony on this planet.

And Muslims should not be imported to the western world.
Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him had better take a closer look at the American Indian.. Henry Ford
