Are Christian Children being beheaded in ISIS?

This weekend I was relaxing at a friends house in her hot tub. One of the 2 other gals began to talk about a facebook post she had seen about Children being beheaded because the parents would not renounce Christ and convert to their religion.

Though it sounded horrific I wanted to write about it. I went online to search for the specific story but I came across the one posted.  I went to another site and seen graphic images of dead children on the ground and throats being slit. One that stood out was the woman whom they held her head back, slit her throat and let it all drain into a bowl, and showing beheaded children.

Some of the pictures were of Syria, and other parts controlled by ISIS. this site is gruesome and the opinions of the page are that this is all going on and they need help.

We are so quick to take everything at face value before we get the facts. I came across another site that asked the question if this was really happening. Fact Checker  says that it could be happening but most of the Christians have already fled and some are still in the process. they also argued that there are no pictures to prove it and they have not heard of any stories from the victims. They did point out that the picture with the child that had guns to its head was from Yemen and is not part of any ISIS' doing.

I went to as many sites as possible to get the truth. I came across this site. The gentleman noted that children are being beheaded and their heads are being put on sticks and carried through town. Also their wives are being taken as wives for the militants and they are raped and killed for not converting. this is being done even though they are paying a tax for not converting to the Islamic faith.

Is this cogent? I still have not made a decision. I believe it more than I do not. As I read the troller's comments it stated that nothing is being done except that Obama is furnishing the weapons for ISIS militants. 

Death by gunfire!

I was at Starbuck's in the Barnes and Noble book store located in the mall (building inception). I decided to look for my next cogent/fallacious story in the Deseret News. I wanted to get knee deep in the paper to find a story that normally would not be seen. But who am I kidding, I found a great story on the front page.

Ronnie Lee Garner was executed by firing squad in 2010. though death by firing squad was outlawed in 2004. those who were on death row already had the option on how they wanted to die. Ronnie picked firing squad.

The article interviews Lt. Jeff Meyers; he took them to the chair that Ronnie was shot in. Four bullet holes aimed straight for his heart. the fifth one was a blank. I always thought it was the other way around. that it was four blanks and one actual bullet. in the interview Meyers says that the death by firing squad could come back and that it seem to be a more humane way to execute. Why? Meyers says its fast and you don't have to wonder if the inmate is done yet. Aside from using lethal injection or the chair.

It was talked about that Utah should do away with the death penalty altogether. this would save money on appeals and other costs. They did not mention the cost of the free dental, healthcare, food, lodging.

I was watching a video called "Harvest America" and as the pastor talked he mentioned Lana Del Rey and how she said she wanted to die. Immediately I was intrigued.

I went onto the internet to read about it. as I began looking I noticed other articles about her saying she had never said she wanted to die. This made me exited; I love the he said she said banter.

After little research I came across something great. it was the recording of the interview. Now it is cogent that she says she wants to die because she does not want to have to do "this" anymore.
"if it wasn't that way, I wouldn't say it" she said. I listened to it many times to see if she meant it. I think she meant it. However, she does not sound like she is about to carry her death out any time soon.

The fallacious part of this is her thought process. the fact that she is thinking that way is cogent but her thought process is not. though being dead I suppose would enable her to not have to deal with life. but, if you are sick of your life it is possible to change it.

Integrating immigrants would be impossible without any form of amnesty. No state in America can grant amnesty to illegal immigrants because this is a federal matter. Though the laws of immigration is not forced in America we need to address the issue of immigration. The US needs to find a solution whether it be a state or federal problem. Integration was proposed as one way to intertwine illegal immigrants into society state by state. How would that work?

Though the laws about immigration are not strictly enforced, they still apply in that one cannot be here without a green card or work visa legally. The argument had no solutions on bypassing immigration to achieve integration.  According to federal law, green cards and work visas are a federal matter and states cannot manipulate the rules to fit their needs. Illegal immigrants will not be able to dodge deportation without going through the proper channels.

This leads to the question why; instead of being an oppressed country, cannot illegal immigrants stand for what they believe according to their culture?

According to Hopper from Disney/Pixar, A Bug’s Life, “You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! Does anybody else wanna stay”?

In Egypt, on January 18, 2011, Asmaa Mahfouz, a 26 year old Egyptian woman posted a video to Youtube and Facebook. She called out Egyptian citizens to join a protest at Tharir Square. The internet is a great tool for social media. Changes can be made from the inside of any country. This example shows that if Asmaa Mahfouz can stand up for her beliefs so can others.

 

Even though there is no solution, options are available.  Tough integration laws should consist of enforcing federal immigration laws state by state. If America does not enforce the federal law, over time immigration services will drain our countries resources. What laws can states pass that would give amnesty without a green card or work visa? Do those states not run the risk of being sued for bypassing federal law?

It is proposed that Immigrants pursue a green card or work visa legally before they cross United States borders. While this is being done, we as a state should enforce immigration laws which in turn would lead to legal integration.

 

There are solutions to every problem and immigration has many. The US should enforce all federal laws before trying to bypass the government and create new state laws. Every country has the power to stand for their beliefs and homeland. Hopper from a Bug’s life states how it can be done and Asmaa Mahfouz used social media to do it. Though our country is born of immigrants fleeing tyranny it also has been established with laws that need to be followed. Immigrants should pursue legality in the states in a correct manor and that is by abiding by federal law.
