I don't know how I have survived all these years with my Muslim friends not offing me for Ramadan!

[Baldric]

Do your friends fit this profile Islay?

///The attacker, who has a history of psychiatric problems, claimed that he needed to make “a sacrifice for Ramadan.”///

[bookbinder]

If I have read an item from Radio Islam correctly, making sacrifices for Ramadan simply means giving up personal pleasures, not actually trying to kill someone. But I suppose if 'hearing voices' is thrown into the mix, anything is allowable.

Obviously it is important to place the factors in the correct order here - the individual's mental state must take preference in governing his behaviour over and above his faith.

Anotheroldgit is headline grabbing again!! He is hoping that no one will read the story and find out that the unfortunate was suffering mental health problems but instead start ranting about those blooming Muslim's again!!

[Baldric]

The headline is factually correct imo.

This, 'The European Union Times', is providing a rich seam of material for you, AOG. Who publishes it?

In AOG's defence, he has a long and sustained history as an AB'er of highlighting news stories without comment and watching the debate unfold - and this is a further example of that way or posting.

I don't think it equates with 'headline grabbing' - merely offering a debate subject, to be taken up or not as AB'ers see fit.

"Furthermore, we can establish that The European Union Times is affiliated with WhatDoesItMean.com, and is accused of “insane propaganda of idiocy”."

interesting!

Thankfully, no European country has capital punishment.

[retrocop]

This French teen suffered it and so did Lee Rigby.!!!

[retrocop]

Meant tp type this French teen almost suffered capitol punishment!

[hc4361]

No they didn't. One was murdered and the other suffered from attempted murder.

Capital punishment is execution ordered by the state, not murder committed by a psychopathic monster.

Mental illness,,,,,,, sadly. no religion is immune .

If that report isn't good enough, here's one from the Telegraph.

[anneasquith]

Both reports are fine. Still mental illness though.

[naomi24]

anneasquith, I thought the first report was fine too, but apparently not so I thought I'd offer one from a more reputable source.
