Look at the pictures - It is of an 8 yr old boy in Iran. He was starving and stole a bread roll.

He now will live his life with a crushed arm for 'his crime'.

Where is PEACE & LOVE that is stated in the Koran?

Yet you moan about people coming into the country - many of whom leave awful situations like this one.

I never MOAN about people coming into this country! I MAY joke though.

Plus having lived abroad..... I would think that was hypocritical.

PLUS - Poles rarely crush little boys arms for being hungry! :twisted: :twisted:

I think I would use stronger language than "wrong" !!

What is disturbing is that the people doing this think that what they are doing is good, right and just.

:(

I read a story recently about a man in Saudi who'd attacked someone with a machete and left him paralysed....the Saudi court were asking hospitals if it were possible to operate on the man in order to deliberately sever his spinal cord as punishment; the courts have yet to find a surgeon will to carry out the procedure.

I'm glad I live in a society where such punishments are unacceptable whatever the crime.
