re: #8 CuriousLurker

All the more reason to avoid jumping the gun on such an outrageous claim, especially considering that necrophilia is a nearly universal taboo.

Many events in that part of the world continue to be shocking by western standards when amputations, stoning sentences and indiscriminate bombing of civilians take place on a regular basis. No religion is immune from criticism, including Islam. And in recent times, fanatics acting in the name of that particular religion have caused a lot of pain around the globe. So while this story appears to be a well executed hoax, many will believe the worst based on recent events. It’s human nature.
