"It was believed that the boy would have been screaming in agony for eight weeks because his injuries went untreated."

No doubt she took that to mean the evil spirits were fighting to get out.

If this is actually what has happened then the defence argument should be taken to it's logical conclusion, i.e. until someone understands basic priniciples of human rights (and that's not to say that those who do still don't sometimes abuse them), then there should be restrictions on them residing in the country...

What's the difference between her religious beliefs and Chico's?
Not much.

Hang her.

Either that or elect her?

[Mr Crosby]

Doesn't mean people who don't go to the Barbers then?

[Lucifer Box]

That's barbarianist, expect to be sued anytime soon!

I think we need to get back to the original meaning of "barbarian", i.e. anyone who couldn't speek Greek. Things have never been right since.

This crazy judgement will never survive an appeal. Hopefully. Alternatively, anyone who criticises this woman's religious belief that shaking a baby violently is the way to go on casting out evil spirits will be prosecuted as inciting religious hatred.

What does it say about getting rid of them?

Evil spirits and/or muslims?

I remember a lot about burning, but I don't think that is the cure but what will happen to the 'bad' jinn. (The 'good' jinn get fresh water.)

IIRC Sura 72 talks of nothing else
