    North west, bordering uganda. hmmm. i wonder if there is an islamic component to this? Or maybe a brain development problem. that region has a big problem with helminth infestation. A lot of poor rural kids have the worms and so, the immune system is inflamed and brain fails to develop. typical characteristic is inability to negotiate simple problems and turn on the other person in violent rage. its well documented. i have seen videos from rural west kenya of low iq parents beating their low iq children.

      Listen buddy.

      First of all, men are brutalizing women all over the world, every day, regardless of religion.

      You should think about religion as less of a driver and more of a record. Like a dictionary.

      People will do whatever they want to do, and then they will justify it. If there happens to be a few convenient passages in a religious text justifying setting your spouse on fire, they’ll repeat that until they’re blue in the face while dousing a woman in gasoline.

      And sure, you can say that they use that text to tech their kids, but they’re still just teaching the bits they want to.

      The point is, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, doesn’t matter. All major sacred books have bits about brutalizing women that step out of line, and the people that really like those bits tend to climg to them to justify being horrible fucking people.

        Why just the other day in springfield a woman was covered in pitch and lit on fire down the road from me. /BIG SARCASM

        I don’t believe the brainworm excuse given by that user but I don’t think it’s a stretch to see how locality influences these problems.

          No, the woman in Springfield was just beaten to a pulp. You just don’t know it because it doesn’t make the news as long as she’s not been set on fire.

          You don’t believe in helminths? thousands are afflicted. maybe you think schistosoma are imaginary too. so, when youre pissing blood in excruciating pain, you will go to the witch doctor for a dose of belief based medicine, yes?

            Even a severely brain damaged individual doesn’t start immolating their wives, and I see no particularly high correlation between Africa and rate of Neurological disorders in the first place.

            See this Global Study LINK with a figure attached below:

            It sounds like you just want an excuse to call Africans your intellectual inferiors.

              People that grew up with chronic helminth infestation have serious mental impairment. why are you being facetious?

        Yes, sadly islam does happen thousands of times a day in the west. Not so sure about the chronic helminth infestation tho

          Her ex is a christian(though it doesn’t matter what he is because it’s irrelevant to the murder). Are you gonna still blame “islam” for all your problems? Are they also causing your adhd and dysfunction?

            Fascinating how several people are determined to misquote, misattribute and mischaracterise my comments rather than do a little reading and free themselves from ignorance.

            i never ascribed a religion to the attacker. i suggested that the growth of islam in that region might be linked with violence against women. because it usually is.

      Really didn’t take long for this site to become the racist cesspit that reddit was. Impressive.
