Four arrested in Iraq 'honor killing' - CNN

Ok, so they arrested some people, too little too late considering there were cops at the scene, they should have stopped it. For whatever reason this footage reminded me of this clip from "Hotel Rwanda".

1. Oh well, the cops couldn't have done much anyways. Where's all the Fundamentalist Christian Women's outrage... to suggest that the Bible advocates such stuff...
Maybe they've been told to shut their faces... as per Corinthians?
This is just harking back to the good old days of Christianity anyways... ahhh... the good ol' days, don't ya just wish that we could get that back? If only we could vote in a Fundamentalist President or somethin'... he could empower some Fundamentalist judges and so forth... if only, if only...

2. As a Buddhist I have to weigh in for Jesus. Nowhere in the New testament does He advocate this sort of thing. He was absolutely compassionate.
I was sickened by this video. You sound like yuou are a bit amused by all of this. Even your namesake Pretty boy Floyd himself would have simply been sickened.

3. pboyfloyd hit the nail on the head about Fundamentalism: keep your religion out of OUR constitution. Unless the Fundamentalist Movement is stopped - it won't take long before the conservative Christian movement turns us into the Fourth Reich.

4. LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT...JESUS, WHEN HE HAD WRITTEN ON THE GROUND, SAID TO THE CROWD,"LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE." THEN HE CROUCHED BACK DOWN AND CONTINUED WRITING IN THE DUST.( MAN, WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO KNOW WHAT HE WROTE!)ONE BY ONE THE MEN WALKED AWAY UNTIL ONLY JESUS WAS LEFT WITH THE WOMAN CHARGED WITH ADULTERY. LOOKING UP, JESUS SAID TO HER, "WHO IS IT THAT CONDEMNS YOU?" "NO ONE, MY LORD." NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU. NOW, GO AND SIN NO MORE."
