Unshakeable Sadness...

I feel really sad today. First, I read a tragic story in the newpaper this morning about an Iraqi girl who was stoned to death for eloping with a Muslim man and converting to Islam. There is a video of the attack on the web but it's not something I would ever want to see. May the girl achieve Heaven and may God forgive all her sins.

Second, an American friend of mine in the US is also a convert to Islam, Her husband is an Egyptian Muslim. Anyway, a few months ago he was driving home from work. He lost control of his car and slammed into another driver. This car burst into flames and the driver died. So, they put him on trial for vehicular manslaughter and sentenced him to 10 years in prison! Unbelievable! They also put him in a jail 200 miles away from his wife and community. They took this father of two away from his family and put him in a maximum security prision with real murderers and rapists. He is already getting abused by prisioners because he prays the Islamic prayer in his cell. This is just SO sad!

Meanwhile, the US pop star Brandy killed a woman in a car crash last December (2006)that she admits was her fault and she has not even been charged!!

UGH!
