Child beheaded in supermarket

[MorningGlory]

Yes, it's almost a given that the killer was muslim. What kind of stunted demon would it take to behead someone's baby because they made him mad? This is one time when I actually hope Sha'ria law is carried out. If the act shocked these people.....it had to beyond horrendous. Of course, even muslims love their children.

I'm glad that Saudi Arabia has capital punishment. There's no other fitting penalty for a crime such as this.

Agreed. What a heart wrenching thing to happen to these people.

how can people be so cruel?

It's the same twisted nature that chose Barabbas over Jesus sending Jesus to be scourged and then crucified. A nature motivated by FEAR and influenced by Satan.

Aren't you glad that you know Jesus? Praise HIM forever.

Amen!

Hardly surprising these days, especially considering the man was almost certainly muslim. It's sad that so many children are dying at the hands of their own parents.

The child wasn't killed by his parents.

A man reportedly held a knife to the throat of his 15-month-old nephew and decapitated him in front of his mother in a Saudi Arabian supermarket. My bad. Still, It most likely was some sort of honor killing. Perhaps he killed the child because the mother had spoken to another man on the day the child was conceived or something. For people who seem to prise honor so highly they sure do some rather dishonorable and heartless things.

Just another demonstration of why we should pray for the Moslem world to be converted to a saving faith in Christ.

man reportedly held a knife to the throat of his 15-month-old nephew and decapitated him in front of his mother in a Saudi Arabian supermarket.

The 25-year-old Syrian man beheaded the toddler apparently after having a dispute with the toddler's parents, his sister and brother-in-law, Arab News reported.

Another newspaper, the Saudi Gazette, reported that the toddler was 18-months-old.

The killing happened in front of shoppers and staff in the fruit and vegetable section of the Al-Marhaba supermarket yesterday morning.

A police officer told Arab News: "The murderer was in a dispute with the boy's mother and her husband. He chopped off the boy's head in front of the mother to get back at her."

Another witness, Abu Muhammad, who is in his mid-60s, told the paper: "It happened so quickly. Before people could intervene, the man had cut more than half way through the child's neck."

Another local expressed his disbelief that anyone could carry out such an act.

"No one could bear the gruesome sight of the boy's decapitated body lying on the floor," Muneer, a car mechanic, told Arab News.

"How could someone do such a thing?

"I just can't understand it ... I still can't believe it."

One shopper, Ahmed Abdul-Rahman, told the Saudi Gazette: "I was shopping when I heard a scream and saw people running toward the shop's pastry corner.

"When I arrived there, I couldn't believe what I saw.

"A headless body of a child lay on the floor and the head was lying nearby soaked in blood."

The man was arrested at the supermarket, reports AFP. Murder is punishable by death in the Islamic country, and the sentence is usually carried out by beheading.

How awful. But in your last sentence, the sentence may be carried out by beheading. An eye for an eye?

This guy is toast. The justice system in Saudi is pretty quick about stuff like this too.

Something in the article that offers some hope: it said all those who saw this were shocked and disgusted by it -- and I'd bet all of them are moslems, though the article doesn't say.

Funny you should say that. I've seen plenty of Christians on here saying married couples shouldn't be friends with members of the opposite sex.

It would certainly show a lack of trust for ones spouse and a lack of faith that God has got ones back IMO.
