JINJA, Uganda - Caroline Aya was playing in front of her house in January when a neighbor put a cloth over her mouth and fled with her. A couple of days later, the 8-year-old's body was found a short walk away — with her tongue cut out. Police believe she was offered up as a human sacrifice in a ritual killing, thought to bring wealth or health. "If it is a sickness you try to treat it, and if they die that is one thing," said Caroline's father, Balluonzima Christ. "But when you slaughter a person like a goat, that is not easy." The practice of human sacrifice is on the rise in Uganda, as measured by ritual killings where body parts, often facial features or genitals, are cut off for use in ceremonies.

Why is there so little respect for life, children, and God in that country.

Idi Amin would have eaten her.

Islamists just want to marry them

The ayatollah actually wrote that sodomizing infants was okay since sodomy isn’t really sex or something like that.

sicko cult.

Witch doctors don't kill children who are circumcised or who have pierced ears because they are considered impure, Mawa said. As a result, some parents have taken their children to get piercings or circumcisions.

And they say circumcision isn't good for your health.

I saw a guy on the bus the other day who would be pretty safe there. He looked like he'd fallen face-first into his tackle box.

In America, we’re going to kill them in a “ritual offering” to the “messiah’s” CommieCare scam.

“Why is there so little respect for life, children, and God in that country.”

A country without God becomes a country with no absolute moral compass, therefore anything is acceptable.

It’s the gangsta’ gene.

Let’s face it, many people in Africa haven’t risen far from the animal kingdom. Their social evolution hasn’t followed an equal path with northern people - climate may be a factor, but it’s hard to believe it’s the only factor.

[freedumb2003]

This is OK, since all cultures are morally equivalent (/liberal)

Did you say hi to Nigel?

I'm Nigel. I'm nice!

Old enough for sex according to Kevin Jennings, many public schools and tax funded Planned Parenthood or something like that.

Yeah, She got screwed, dint she?

[Sherman Logan]

Not quite that dramatic, but still pretty spectacular.

Actually, there is a growing Christian population in Uganda. It is tragic that things like this still go on. Hopefully Christianity will continue to spread and this will stop.

[null and void]

Yeah. Christian=Target.

Did you happen to notice the Dad’s last name?

I wouldn't limit that to Africa ...

Uganda! Ugh! Many years ago during the time of Idia Amin(I think), we were in London. There was a huge black man wearing a very expensive silk suit in a shop where we were looking around. My husband tried to strike up a conversation with him, we are Texans and never saw a stranger. He didn't say anything, he just stared at us. My husband asked him where he was from and in a voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell he said
“Uganda”. I wonder if it was Idia Amin or just one of his henchmen.
