Muslim Man Blessed to Death by Crocodile
A Muslim man traveled with his Mom to a shrine to get a blessing by a crocodile. Because crocodiles can do that in Islam, betcha didn’t know that, huh? Anyways, there was a blessing alright. One of thanks for a bountiful meal.
From the PostChronicle here with thanks to Ed at RightRant.
Rubel Sheikh has been killed in a “rare” crocodile attack at the Muslim Khan Jahan Ali shrine.
According to Bangladesh police inspector Humayun Kabir, a crocodile killed and ate 25-year-old Sheikh after he entered a pond to be blessed by the dangerous reptile.
Rubel Sheikh and his mother visited the MKJA shrine to be blessed by the crocodiles in a ritual that involves bathing in the water with the animals.
Kabir claims: “He went into the pond hoping to be blessed when a crocodile attacked him and dragged him into the deep part of the pond.”
“This is a very unusual incident. Normally, the crocodiles are very friendly and do not harm people.”
So does this mean instead of a blessing the man was cursed? What a stupid belief you have if you think crocodiles have magic powers.
Pat, you’re so insensitive and uncaring. If we’ve learned nothing else from our savior Obama, it’s that people, cultures, and religions around the world, no matter how stupid, are superior to our own and should not be mocked and ridiculed.
My guess is he did something very wrong to deserve that death.
