An 8 year old Afghani boy hung?

The laughing Taliban - at a double hanging.
Seemingly, there is nothing like a death
to put a smile on your face.

The Afghan government has announced that Mohammed Ibrahim, an 8 year old boy, was hung by insurgents in Southern Afghanistan on or about July 22, 2011.

Supposedly, the boy was kidnapped and the boy’s captors had demanded that his father, Mohammed Daoud, age 36, a police officer, supply them with a police vehicle and he refused. In apparent retaliation, the militants hanged or strangled the boy and dumped his body into a stream in Helmand Province.

This is too outrageous to be true and if it isn't, I will remove this posting from this blog. 

Two children in the Warsaw Ghetto.  This is real. 

If it is true, then God help us all. 

However, in World War Two, how many hundreds of thousands of children, among millions, were gassed or starved to death? That was real. 

And then Ratko Mladic, a Serbian military commander, is now under trial in 2011 for arranging the killing of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in 1995, in Bosnia. Many of the people he killed were teenage boys. This mass murder was described by the Secretary-General of the United Nations as the worst crime on European soil since the Second World War.

Bosnian Muslims, starved and led to death by
Ratko Mladic.  This is real.  Look at their faces. 

Who could look in the face of an 8 year old or a 12 year old boy and then kill him? 

This is beyond belief, but it has happened and it does happen. It is always happening. 

If this is true, pray for Mohammed Ibrahim, age 8, that he is in Heaven and that he is with God.  Pray that he is playing in the fields of Heaven. 

God save us from the freaks in this world. God help us.
