A Stitch in Haste

First it was strapping bombs to the bodies of children. Now it's strapping bombs to adults with the minds of children:

U.S. and Iraqi officials said Saturday that pictures showed the bombers had Down syndrome and likely did not know they were being used in Friday's attacks.
...
"It appears the suicide bombers were not willing martyrs, they were used by al-Qaida for these horrific attacks," he said. "These two women were likely used because they didn't understand what was happening and they were less likely to be searched."

Behold the Religion of Peace. I wonder, in situtations like this, who gets the 72 virgins?

Meanwhile:

Police in Senegal have arrested several men following the publication of pictures claiming to depict a wedding ceremony between two men.
...
Senegal is a predominantly Muslim country and gay men and women remain socially marginalised.

And Senegal is generally considered to be one of the "better" (i.e., less barbarian) Muslim countries in Africa. Go figure.
