Who is in the small pic and what is being portrayed? I’ve been away from the news for a few days and see you’ve posted this pic on several threads. Thanks in advance.
I'm no authority on the subject, but I believe that muslim burial practices call for a very quick burial. I absolutely remember cases when people were killed in Gaza or the West Bank, and were buried later that same day in a very public way.
Maybe someone else can shed some more light on the subject.
On the other hand, I have seen people with severe chest trauma, and while there's sometimes a lot of blood, I have never seen blood in the volumes that were portrayed in the video.
I'm on the fence, but I'm sure that we have some physicians or first responders on the board that could give a more informed opinion of what's on the tape.
Icons always make me skeptical. They’re too much like straw men...Easy to set up, easy to knock down. (Just look at all the ones we’ve seen come and go in the political news in the past year.)
And, like straw men, they’re often set up by your opponent. Then you look like a fool when they’re knocked down.
Baghdad Bob now works for abc no longer news but obama views.
I think muslims are buried within 24 hours or by sundown on the day of death. Ditto with Israeli Jews.
So a “hasty” funeral is not unusual
I predict someday we will see an outpouring of rage against the “News” networks and “Journalists.” It will be very, very ugly.
If it’s fake as the Iranian government claims, there is one simple way to prove it. This was a real person, she existed. Produce her, either the body or the living person. Seems simple enough to me. Until they produce the actual living, breathing person, I’m going to assume that she is at room temperature....
Deep down they really aren't all that bad.
Yeah It was “staged”. SO was Obama’s election.
ABC is as bad as SeeBS.
Looks real to me
That’s Neda Agha Soltan, a 27 year old Iranian woman who was shot dead in the streets of Tehran by Basiji militia while 0bama ate ice cream.
Abc = state run propaganda machine..
Some folks hvae raised cynicism to an art form.
(She has become the face of the Iranian uprising across the world.)
Ahmadinejad thinks tha holocaust was a fraud...so why not Neda?
BTW
Big Monkey
A severed aorta ex-sanguinating into the lungs would cause you to asperate that much blood.
Yep. There’s another video of a young man dying the same way that looks staged, too. Even Fox News was being very cautious about it last night.
Cynicism? No, I would say that with some ignorance is fashionable.
They wear it with pride.
This poor girl and her family are not even permitted to mourn her death, by order of the government.
How does that go over with people here? If Obama enforced something similar in a Ruby Ridge incident?
Oh now you get it? Finally.
Prayers for Neda and the Iranian people. Their horrid path is far from ended.
