My husband just told me of an article he read on msn about Walmart in Michigan catering big time to the Arab population. Arab employees that speak Arabic and bringing in food items from the middle east.Then they discovered that the store had too much pork products and pulled back on stocking so much pork products. For the first time in my life I understand the right to bear arms! Because our country has lost it’s moral soul and the enemy is in the country and have told us they are going to kill us.Consolation-the homosexuals had better be on guard,their time is short.

I dont want to sound cold...but this happens all the time here in the US...whats the difference between cutting the head or throwing a kid off a bridge...or shooting him in the head...My point is the righteous indignation is a bit over the top. Americans do it too. Yes, but...
- There is a clear cultural difference between the Middle East and the West with regard to brutal violence. The same things happen in both places, but the context is very different, so the meaning is different.
- You'd be hard-pressed to find widespread public speech and documents in America that encourage, glorify, and even demand brutal violence, that are not only tolerated by the government and people, but are actively considered the foundation of the society. That's true in Islamic countries, and it's THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE, in my opinion.
- Also, we're at war. The Other Guy is always more atrocious than us. /sarc
- Also also, they're a different religion. The Other Guy's religion is always wrong. /sarc
Don't react only to the last two points. The first two are the ones that matter to this discussion.

i would hope that all whom were sick and outraged (in jeddah), would be such if the child were hebrew, danish, american, etc.

that are not only tolerated by the government and people, but are actively considered the foundation of the society. From this article, it didn't sound like the people were anything but mortified by it. I take a little comfort in that...at least.

I get so confused with these family dispute killings. Will this be an actual murder or brushed off as an “honor killing?” Either way, will the man even be punished? So sad.

From this article, it didn't sound like the people were anything but mortified by it. I take a little comfort in that...at least. Yes, but... while the local people might be shocked and mortified by the slaughter of a baby, why are they completely understanding and supportive of the scores of premeditated murders of teenage girls and young women in the name of "honor" because they have acted like normal teenage girls and young women?
Show me an American tradition analogous to Sharia "honor killing". I don't think you can, because it doesn't exist.
That's the difference. Their shock at the murder of a baby is only partial. They accept the murder of adults.
Take comfort if you will, but I fear it is only small comfort.

Are you kidding me? At least several times a year there’s a story here about a guy who kills his kids to get back at his estranged wife.

Considering half the houses in that part of town are boarded up and vacant, I’m betting it’s drug related.

sorry, but the muslim religion has revenge and murder as part of it’s holy books against the infidels. That religion is going to have to be eliminated from the earth, eventually. It is satanic and a partial plagarism of the bible.

Yeah, but some cultures have more crazy nut jobs than others. Islam is the breeding ground for crazy nut jobs.

Or this story:

The problem is that the world has sick f____ in every country and of every religion. Mass killings are common place drugs or no drugs.
Today in Memphis and in W. Palm Beach. Yesterday in Texas.
Where will it happen tomorrow?
All I know is that we will soon have to read about someone, somewhere killing in mass numbers.

In America they do this 16 months earlier in the baby’s life and you’ll find a presidential contender who will defend the practice.

What are you talking about? Children in this country are murdered all the time - being Muslim has nothing to do with it. Probably not. But, given the rat-hole locale, one can't help but think of 9/11, Khalid Sheik Mohamed, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, honor killings, stonings, FGM, and other savagery associated with the the Religion of Pieces. They do have a thing about beheading. Expect this guy in Chop Chop Square fairly soon.

The supermarket reopened for business at around 1.15 p.m....When the store reopened, employees were still in a state of shock. A guard, standing at the entrance, stood frozen and oblivious to the rush of shoppers.Just another shopping day in Islamic Paradise.
