Thanx for relating your concerns. I hope my following anecdote doesn't disgust you about me.....
Some time in 2002, I was listening to afternoon talk radio on a local San Fran station while stuck in traffic. Being interviewed on the show was a Palestinian who was stateside prospecting for believers to blow themselves up for "the cause". I was riveted to this interview and horrified by what I was hearing. He gave phone #s and Website info for interested parties to contact the movement.
What I have here to share is horrifying... Please don't scorn me, I'm only the messenger.......
He was stateside promising $25,000 to any family who would offer up their children to act as suicide bombers. He suggested that families with children dieing from diseases could relieve themselves of their burdensome child and make $25,000 in the process.
Picture also that he included Downs Syndrome children as targets for his deranged process. I took particular exception to this since I consider Downs children the happiest children I've ever known. I can imagine them being all toooo happy and proud to do what their families needed........ They are flesh-and-blood angels!!!
Needless to say, I almost wrecked the rental car I was driving!!! What a monster, and with a monstrous desire, to think we would fall for such c**p!!! He did mention that Sadam Hussein was bankrolling his project under the blessings of Yassar Arafat...
(I almost disgusted myself even relating this story!!!)
