Quote:

Authorities in suburban Philadelphia say a 70-year-old man was stoned to death with a rock stuffed in a sock by a younger friend who alleged the victim made unwanted sexual advances.

According to the criminal complaint, 28-year-old John Thomas of Lansdowne has told police he killed 70-year-old Murray Seidman because the Old Testament refers to stoning homosexuals.

Delaware County authorities announced Friday that Thomas was arrested and charged with murder.

If the perpetrator were following the uglier dictates of another book of myths -- say the Koran -- then this would obviously reflect poorly on all his fellow adherents. As it stands ... well, just a lone nutter.

Obviously a Muslim. ;)

America loves a winner!


I gotta say, that was as sick as it was resourceful. I mean, the good book says stoning...so the guy used a stone. And instead going old school and raising a crowd, he did it all by himself..

Doe PA even have the death penalty anymore ?

Horrible story, but thanks for this parallel.

This is the sort of story that is everywhere, but we don't think of it as parallel to the muslim stories, but it is. Really, when I've looked into "honor killings" and various other "evils muslims do" it's turned out that these are individual crimes, not religious or state policies.

When something happens like "Florida woman drowns kids for sinning" they run it as "Medieval Christians in US punish children for witchcraft by drowning."

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
