As he repeatedly recited a Muslim prayer in Arabic, Toledo native Vernon Lamont Smith took what appeared to be a deep yawn, fell unconscious, and became just the second person in the nation executed via a unique one-drug process
Smith, who converted to Islam and legally changed his name to Abdullah Sharif Kaazim Mahdi while on death row
The entire process lasted roughly 28 minutes
Ohio’s unique new lethal injection protocol involves a massive overdose of the powerful anesthetic thiopen
"There’s no god but God, and Muhammed is his prophet. That’s what he’s saying," said Charlotte Darwish, the widow of Smith’s victim, as she watched the execution with her two daughters.
Mona, at the age of 16, became the youngest witness of an Ohio execution since the state resumed carrying out the death penalty in 1999

What are your thoughts on this?

I clicked on this thread to make that exact point. There seems to be an all out campaign to make Americans hate Muslims.
Mr. Darwish's widow, Charlotte, and their two daughters, Dolly and Mona, are expected to witness the execution. Dolly, now 17, was just shy of her first birthday when her father was killed. At age 16, Mona, born three months after her father died, would be the youngest person to witness an Ohio execution since at least 1999.

Thats funny, because it seems Muslims have been on an all out campaign to make Muslims hate everyone that isn't Muslim. You know, us infidels?
They have a pretty large head start as well.

Just a point - the 16year old is not the daughter of the guy Ohio just executed. She is the daughter of his vicitm. He killed her dad.

I think you are mistaking the fanatics that are always in the news for the average Muslim. There is no campaign like the one you speak of.

When you read an headline like this you know the owners of the rag are conservative warmongers. I won't even use a paper like this to wrap fish. How dare the media try and encite hatred like that. They should be punished ..
