This really disturbs me

    I come across this in facebook and thought of sharing. For the humanism in me is way stronger than the fear of being accused of anti American...
    please check it to the end. I can not verify the the accuracy of the report in the end but the pictures are beyond disturbing

    Not the most accurate of data. Does the job though. . .

    Welcome to the human society, by the way.

    Thanks Exos... it would be remembered that you were the only heart

    There are no welcomes here , the humanity is non existent. It is just a mask, no body really cares. If children in Syria die of chemical weapon everyone comes out cries out and tear his/ her throat, only because Assad is supposedly doing it and he is not American friendly. But if you come out with the most gruesome picture of dead deformed infant that American are causing them, suddenly you hit the rock of silence, no more humanity, no more cry and wet eyes, no more tore throats. Children are children!! Innocent is innocent!! Only our compassion and humanism is bias. We do not really have a heart beyond bars of our political views. Our love and goodness are not independent. They are just pretentious and::
    Christ has never come here!!

    I had a hard time reading through this because they strategically placed pictures for the reaction (which I think makes sense, it grabs your attention), so honestly I didn't finish the article..

    but I can't stop crying. Its absolutely disgusting. I wish we could just stay out of everywhere and be here. There are lasting effects I do understand that. I'm just at a loss.

    Horrible images.

    I very much doubt the authenticity of the article though as (unfortunately) I had seen some of those pictures before. One shows a genetic rare skin disease called Harlequin-type ichthoyosis and has nothing that I can see to do with uranium or Afghanistan.

    If it is horrible images that involve children then I cannot view them,

    I will go find some sand to stick my head in....

    I thought I had seen one of the images before, however SOMETHING is happening to these babies. I know some may be birth defects that can't be explained, and some may be due to uranium or whatever the heck is happening... but it just makes me sick. These poor little children. It breaks my heart.

    Colm is correct. The very first and the last image are the same. Of an infant diagnosed with Harlequin-type ichthyosis. The disease could've been triggered by exposure to the radiation caused by Uranium, as a fetus. Since the disease is a result of genetic mutation of the protein gene ABCA12, related to the genes of the skin. It may not necessarily have anything to do with uranium or Afghanistan, but it would be wrong to rule out the possibility of such circumstances. Uranium bioaccumulates in the body, becomes Uranyl ions, which have been shown to cause birth defects and immune system damage.

    The article is obviously biased against the US. But these are the oppressed people endeavoring to voice their agony. And they are not entirely wrong. The soldiers did, and still continue to rape and kill women. Kill men and children for resisting. The half life of Uranium-235 is 704 million years. That of Uranium-238 is 4.47 billion years. Short term exposure to a low dose of Uranium is not fatal to humans. But exposure to enriched and concentrated dose would be fatal. Overtime long exposure most definitely ensures genetic damages. The ordinary life in many regions of the middle east is miserable. Humanity may have made a leap forward in technology, yet we still are hung on our primitive animalistic nature. Most are homo-sapiens, very few - human.

    ^

    That is quite a video. Will have to research on Harlequin-type ichthoyosis diseases as an outcome of inbreeding. But, it'll have to wait till I get home.

    Still doesn't clear the US though. Can't deny the presence of Uranium. People being exposed to a high dosage of radiation. Obliterating the population is one thing, and rendering an entire region uninhabitable for potentially a billion years is another. Affecting the entire biodiversity of an area and the future generations of many species to come. Not the smartest move.

    EDIT -

    Thought it would take time. But it didn't.

    From the Biomedical Ephemera article:

    Comprising less than 0.001% of the cases of ichthyosis, Harlequin-type ichthyosis was uniformly fatal in the past. It is an autosomal recessive condition, with both parents having to carry the same mutation of the gene ABCA12. Historically, it was known to be a disease found in first-degree and second-degree consanguineous unions (children from siblings or first cousins), but today it is not one of the major inbreeding-related or Founder effect syndromes.

    It is not a common trait of inbreeding. But of genetic mutation of the genes in both the parents. Which is a rare condition, even for first cousins. Harlequin-type ichthyosis - as the highlight of inbreeding. Most probably will not tip the scales in anyone's favor. Inbreeding does have it's own set of problems, yes.

    The video on the site, is just as misleading. The article suggested by the author of the thread has, at the least, freckles of truth hither and thither.

    Now I see Why Dan and many others are hugely misinformed, the website Logo says It isn't Islamophobia! when they are really trying to kill you.

    really? Really? you're such a tool amigo

    "We often see the mental deficiencies of rampant Muslim inbreeding (first cousin marriages) resulting in aberrant, abusive, deviant and shockingly inhumane behavior. What we rarely see are the physical effects."

    hmmm, To begin with, Muslims in Principle Follow two Codes, The Quran first and foremost, and then The Hadith and Sunnah, in other words, Things That Prophet Mohamed Either have Said, Or Things that were told by others about his actions and doings.

    and The First thing they teach us in school, actually the first ever Hadith I remember memorizing back in elementary school stated against first cousin marriages, for several other reasons, not only the thing you've stated.

    The Reality is this, Cousin mirages is a culture issue not a religious one, that is very spread well amongst African and some Arab countries, Had nothing to do with Christianity or Islam.
    ,
    But from past experience it's really easy to see how you'd believe anything that would pin away the guilt and blasphemy your government are responsible of
    and the biggest example of that is your stupid website.

    Here is a harsh fact to digest with your gullible mind, Iraq and Afghanistan combined have a death toll that Exceeds the 2 Million mark, Chemical weapons or not, and rather than acknowledging or righting your wrongs, we have the likes of you trying to persuade others of stupid nonsense that is pitiful.
    sure, a 100k died of flu and the rest were all form cousin mirages.

    The disdain of being completely oblivious and ignorant, Take a good look in the mirror buddie

    I feel for you brother.
