My eyes would have been swollen shut every weekend.

TC, sometimes I'd run in the house and put a pillow over my head, but I could never quite drown it out.
I can't imagine the horrors that you have witnessed in your travels. What kind of religion is enforced by fear, like the kind you described by the poor women in the UAE?
What kind of people enjoy a beheading? This is suspiciously close to what happened to normal people under fascism--they lost their sense of good and evil, right and wrong.
Yes, that's true. The difference here is that the Muslims never have a chance to learn right from wrong. They are brainwashed from birth.
Look at the little girls and boys with explosives strapped to their bodies. They're happy. They think they're doing something very good because they've been taught that all their lives.
I really think they are possessed by Satan. Only the Prince of Darkness could foster such hate and anger.
Bar Beach, Lagos, Nigeria.
Shortly after the military coup which banished Yakabu Gowon to the UK.
Five rebels tied to stakes on Bar Beach.
The predominately Muslim crowd had been gathering all day in their best clothes to witness the execution. It was a scene like a holiday at Disneyland with everyone talking and laughing.
At noon the firing squad loaded, aimed and fired.
There was a hush for a minute or two as the rebels jerked and twitched and finally became still, hanging from the stakes.
Then the rumbling started. It was over much too quickly! They had gone to a lot of trouble to see blood and gore! They wanted MORE!
The firing squad obliged. They reloaded and shot them again, and again, and again, and again, each time to the roar of the crowd.
The sand around the stakes was red with blood, and the bodies were blown to bits, threatening to slide through the ropes onto the sand.
Still grumbling, but with a satiated blood lust, the crowd finally dispersed.
I was a very novice world traveler at that time, and this scene stayed fresh in my mind for many years.
