Column One: The 'realist' fantasy [Palestinian Authority Legalizes Crucifixion]
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 12/31/2008 | Caroline Glick

Posted on 12/31/2008 9:59:10 AM PST by Constitutions Grandchild

Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seems to have noticed.

On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari'a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion.

I hardly know how to respond to this news. I used to wonder if an entire civilization could collapse in a day -- like the Mayan or the Incan or Rome or Western civilization. It never occurred to me that there are barbarians in existence like this, but I can honestly say, what the heck do I know.

I read this the other day. I am still at a loss for words. It made me feel very sick.

I do. But since it involves copious amounts of high explosives, napalm, and nerve gas it'll never be implemented.

Yes, dear-heart. Sadly, that's my first response, too. I feel little better than they with it, though. To be reduced to such a level of despicable and dishonorable behavior makes me about as sick as the headline.

Incredible.

I would refer to them as dogs, but I wouldn’t want to insult our canine friends.

You have GOT to be kidding!

Perhaps if one of their own suffered such a fate, they might rethink that decision. Crucifixion is the cruelest method of torture. Nothing comes close to it... and I mean nothing. Geeze... even Saddam Hussein, Joseph Stalin, and Adolph Hitler did not go that route!

In all seriousness, imagine them actually going through with this, and it headlining the news. I think it would sent shockwaves throughout the civilized world.

On the other hand, the open-forum beheadings in Saudi Arabia don’t even cause a stir, let alone outrage.

Tell the bastards of St. Peter who was crucified upside down because he declared himself unworthy to die in the same manner as the Lord. Tell them unlike themselves, Christians are unafraid of crucifixion.

Hitler did, from what I’ve read, and being shredded alive in a wood chipper is pretty gruesome, but this was a real gut punch to me.

What scares me most is that it wouldn’t make a difference in the rest of the world.

We have some criminals around here, I would not mind having nailed to a board and left to die. It would serve them right.

They are dependent on your feeling that way. They exploit our morals in order to impose their immorality in its place. They kill their own women and children by hiding amongst them while killing the women and children of their enemy, which is everybody but them.

They are truly evil. They plot to move peacefully among us until they have a large enough number to cut our throats in our sleep. They are truly Evil flying under the banner of religion.

Ann Coulter had it right immediately after 9/11/01. She said we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert the rest to Christianity.

There is no peaceful solution with fanatics. They raise Holy Hell because someone draws a picture of Mohammed yet they cheerfully legalize crucifixion to insult Christians and all others.

They are Evil. We must destroy them rather than trying to reason with them. They are unreasonable and they are liars. They turn the truth on its head.

They are just like today's Democrats.

Mark, I've never hated ANYone that much — not even those who made our lives a living hell for a while. We found that perseverance and success is the best revenge — and we handed that back, without rancor or unforgiveness, to those folks with interest.

Precisely. I was thinking, “imagine them actually going through with this, and it headlining the news.” Then I remembered the video I saw of some folks getting stoned in Iran and pictures I saw of folks hanging in public squares in Gaza and the little media coverage it got.

Everyone, even the media, knows the Muslims are capable of doing this type of stuff.
