Chop off your hand!

I read an article earlier about a 15 year old boy in Pakistan. He had been attending the mosque. The Imam shouted out to the crowd who likes Mohammed and everyone in the mosque raised their hand. He did not hear what the imam said he asked who did not like Mohammed and he shot his arm up again. All the people in the room called him a blasphemer and started to shout him down accusing him of being an unbeliever. This would have caused terrible incriminations for the boy he would have been ostracised by the community and picked on for the rest of his life. His family would also have been the centre of attention and picked on too in this small remote village. So what did the boy do? He ran the short distance home and chopped off the offending arm above the wrist by putting it in a grass cutting machine. He then placed it on the tray and returned to the mosque to show them that he had not meant to do that before collapsing. The crowd then rushed him to the hospital. He is now some kind of hero because of his actions. People from the local villages come to show him respect. His father who is very poor could not even afford to pay for the bandages to cover his arm however people donated money to pay for his devotion to Mohammed. Oh dear it is so sad to read that this boy will now go through life with his right hand missing all because of narrow minded judgemental people who know no better.
