Greg Stephens is right.
This is not my thread title and I resent it being changed to a more inflamatory one. I did not intend it to become a debate on Muslim practices - and I regret, but can not help the fact that it has become one. I would have preferred that issue - or the issues of the way Muslims are seen to have been debated elsewhere.

I was simply stunned by the bestiality of this mob killing. This sort of killing has taken place in most ages in many different societies. The awful fact that it has happened so recently reminds us of the awful potential which lies in this animal, which we call the human being. I would have preferred us to concentrate on that phenomena and how to do something about it.

Nobody wants to use this as a brush to tar all Muslims with. However, if you feel that is an issue, I would be happier if it were debated elsewhere. I would also politely request that my original thread title be restored: "A Story, which beggars belief".
