Sentenced to death for singing, dancing at wedding

Most weddings include music. And singing. It’s a joyous occasion, after all. A celebration of two lives come together. But some places, it can get you killed.

In Pakistan, four men, two women, sentenced to death after video of their singing and dancing at a wedding surfaced. Clerics in the remote region ordering them to death.

Because the men were ordered executed first and they ran away, the women are safe for now.

  1. This is just one example of what religious fanaticism can do, and why we much constantly be on the alert for savages who would use their dogma to shape our laws. If you think THIS can’t happen here, Remember, The Puritans had outlawed CHRISTMAS here in the US.
