Family Dinner

Roxieamerica:

On Friday, Yon reported that al Qaeda served up a son for dinner to his own family:
The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11-years-old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man's words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, "What did he say?" Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family.

Telling soldiers' stories from the frontlines is dangerous work that few do as well as Michael Yon. Risking combat injury, intense heat, sand and dust storms, and jarring explosions: the cost is crushing. Most major news organizations can't afford to keep a footprint here, yet Michael Yon does it without corporate sponsors or advertisers. He receives no funding or financial support from Fox News, or any movie, book or television deal. He is entirely reader supported.

RoxieAmerica comments: The ISLAMIC terrorists are vile barbarians. In the name of Allah they behead men, women and children. They cook children. They are people without hearts who lack natural affection. They are a 21st Century plague ruthlessly devouring the innocent. Those who appease them are as guilty as those who carry out the barbaric death of innocent men, women and children. Every civilized human being has a duty and a moral obligation to fight against the barbarian butchers who spread their death and destruction in name of Islam and Allah.

I refuse to belive this story. and it really dosn't make sense. you invite people to your house telling them: we are good people and your family should join us. let's eat your son. Maybe the person didn't translate it right or something?

If the ultimate goal of the act was to induce fear so the terrorists could operate without people reporting them to authorities then it fits models used by gangsters and gangs.
