Almost as crazy as Christians believing Jesus rose from the dead.

No religion needs to be singled out here.
There are extremists everywhere. These are no different. They are crazy. Some (including me) would call them insane. There's no reason to do such a thing.

Yep. Also, that appears to just be a small sect of Muslims.Bigred1995;1004856 wrote:Do you realize that there are sects of Christians that do this as well, right?
Nice attempt at trying to knock an entire religion for the acts of a few.

This is what I do after Ohio State loses a football game. My back looks like hamburger after this past season.

Terry Brands makes his Iowa wrestling team do this, if anyone loses a match.
It's also rumored Brands kills a puppy with his bare hands anytime the Hawkeye's lose.

If you don't want to do it to yourself, apparently it's not very difficult to get the legal system in Saudi Arabia to do it for you.
