A JURY yesterday sentenced a man to 25 years in jail after he microwaved his baby daughter.
Joshua Mauldin, who had wanted to be a preacher, tried to convince jurors he had gone insane when he bundled baby Ana, then two-months-old into the intense heat for about 20 seconds.
Galveston County prosecutor Xochitl Vandiver said she was satisfied with the sentence.

To those who condemn religion by the acts of few, grow up.
I used to belive that religion was the root of all evil and the world would be better off without it, but I've come to realize that such thoughts are childish and un true.
Religion can be used as a means to heal as well as to hurt, it all comes down to who's preaching.

All hindus from Pakistan were expelled/ killed, so we should have returned the favour.
Christians and Hindus stopped killing women hundreds of years ago, while Muslims still continue to do so in the modern day.
Hinduism is the most oppressive system on record in its treatment of women. From conception to death, woman had to suffer in uncountable ways (details after the basic section) :
-Child Marriage - Girls are to be married when 5 years old !
-Dowry - Vedas prescribe this pracitice
-Bride-Burning - if the dowry is insufficient
-No Property
-Mass Wife-Burning (Jauhar) - Often 100s are burnt at a time.
-Widow-Burning (Sati) - Sanctioned by the Vedas, Puranas, practiced by Krishna’s wives, it still continues.
IT has taken 16 long years for a court to convict five people charged with the murder of a young woman. She was killed by her husband, his parents and sisters. The reason? She did not bring in enough dowry, and also refused to stand by and accept the torture and harassment that was meted out to her.

"Christians and Hindus stopped killing women hundreds of years ago."
Absolutely, homicide is unheard of in Christian and Hindu countries. I live here in America and I didn't even know what murder was until she wrote about it. Also, our economy promotes self-determination and workers rights in third world countries that our corporations exploit viciously. Wait, did I say exploit viciously, I meant employ victoriously. Yes, that will do nicely.

Hindu Indians are peaceloving people so stop being jealous
You come from the most pro-war country on the planet
TextBHUBANESWAR: Hindu crowds, angry at the shooting of a protester, burned more Christian homes and rioted against police in the eastern regions of India this week.
Police said they came under attack throughout Wednesday night in Orissa's Kandhamal district.
The violence is the latest in a string of attacks on Christians in three Indian states that has left at least 20 people - mostly Christians - dead, and dozens of churches damaged.
The attacks have been condemned by Pope Benedict XVI. Bishops have urged the European Union to treat them as an emergency. -

Sorry, but that is ignorant and hardly a valid argument.
All of these types of things are done in the name of islam, not because bob and billy at the local decided that sally was a slut and needed sorten out.
And worst of all, no public outcry from the so called moderates that these "Radical Criminals are hijacking THEIR Religion and giving them all a bad name." - -Nothing. Unless you prod them with the attention stick; then they pipe up with a less than sincere 'rage'.
