Albino girl, 11, killed and beheaded in Swaziland ’for witchcraft’
Telegraph ^ | 8/20/10 | Aislinn Laing

Posted on 08/22/2010 11:52:06 AM PDT by LibWhacker

An 11-year-old albino girl from Swaziland was shot dead in front of her friends and then beheaded in what police believe was a ritual murder.

The child had been washing clothes and bathing at a river with friends and was returning home when she was grabbed by a man wearing a balaclava.

As her friends looked on, the man shot her in the back before dragging her away. Her headless body was found upriver a short time later.

The murder is the latest in a series of albino killings in Sub-Saharan Africa, where sufferers of the rare skin pigmentation condition are concentrated.

Zim has never been on my list of places to visit.
There is little to recommend the place except as
as example of what Marxist thuggery does to a
nation.

“Anyone who can equate the killing and beheading of an eleven-year old girl with abortion is as morally repugnant as any African witch doctor, only less forgivable”

Could you please explain this? Are you pro-choice or do you just think it is less evil to kill a baby in the womb than to kill an 11 year old?

Also what is superstitous about the other posters position?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

If you do not understand the difference between a man killing other people’s children as a threat to the entire society and a woman making the tragic decision not to deliver the child she is pregnant with, there is little hope for you, or a society comprised of such people.

As sad and despicable as a woman choosing to abort her child might be, she is no threat to anyone else. She is not a threat to you or your children. The mad-man who would kill other people’s children is.

There is virtually no hope for people who do not see this difference.

I’m not an albino, nor are the majority of the people on earth, so this man is no threat to me or society. By your sick logic.

By all means check out post #46. A more superb example of ignorance could scarce be found.

“It’s real popular with SWAT teams and terrorists.”

I think you repeated yourself there.

It USED to be a decent place. It was really circling the toilet 25 years ago, and it’s REALLY become unliveable since then.

Please explain how a woman who has an abortion is a threat to you.

The point is not what motivation a killer of other people’s children is, but only that someone who kills other people’s children can be a threat in society.

Perhaps this “logic” is too difficult for you. I understand.

Hank

I am not an albino so that guy is no threat to me. Apparently that logic is too difficult for you.

One million babies per year are aborted in the U.S. alone. How many albinos are killed world wide each year? This is all your logic so you defend it instead of repeating your straw man.

Thanks for explaining your position more clearly. The woman that aborts her child is no threat to me personally. However, the atmosphere that allows abortion to continue in this country is a threat to our very existence as a nation. It is demeans the value of life.

Both the murder of the girl and the abortion are evil.

Your argument is flawed. Evil is NOT determined by the threat to society. Your argument is like saying, a man that sexually abuses his daugther is bad but it isn’t the same as when a stranger kidnaps and rapes a girl. The father isn’t a danger to society at large BUT he is still evil.

A woman that has an abortion is still a murderer. She may never pick up a gun and shoot another person but she has murdered her child.

“a woman making the tragic decision not to deliver the child she is pregnant with”

This is nicely worded. It however doesn’t represent the reality of abortion. She didn’t decide not to deliver a child. She decided to have the child murdered in her womb.
