Or this one
Probably this one as well
This here is particulartly interesting, since a man was already blinded in one eye, and now is facing to be blinded for the second time.
But hey, who cares, its only 21th century muslim countries who are blinding people. Thats not really blinding like the Byzantines did some 1000 years ago. I mean its completely different, isnt it? I mean, first of all its heathens doing it, can you imagine, bloody heathens!!!!!
Who cares if some crazy ass muslims are blinding someone, they are, after all, believers!!!! (in the correct god, of course, otherwise they would be terrible people, blinding others, terrible!!).
We already know, since Einstein, that there is relativity, even in morals. Something is not necessarily terrible and inhumane. If muslims do it, its according to the will and laws of god (or something). Thats completely different than some bloody christian heathen (or god forbid: an atheist) doing the same.
