I wonder if he prayed

[cwydro]

before being hanged?

1. Shiachat might have an answer

if you go to their site.

[cwydro]

2. What site is that?

Iraqi? I don't want to see anything graphic.

I did hear he had a copy of the Koran and that he refused the hood.

5. It is a board much

like this one. It is for Shias although anyone may join. They discuss many different issues.

4. Perhaps shiachat would not be the best source? nt.

3. He certainly did not do so on the gallows.

But what difference does that make?

6. Please see my post "Bush = Death" for a discussion of positive imaging.

We need to crowd out this Hangman image with our own life-giving and loving imagery. Truly. These Dark Lords are playing mind-games. And there are ways to resist. THEY want a year of more Death and Darkness. What do YOU want? What have YOU seen, what do YOU know, of human goodness and hope, and of the rebirth of American democracy? Form it in your mind. Hold that image fast. Push back!

7. 100% correct n/t

[cwydro]

10. Thanks.

I've really been kind of over all this death glee.

8. Fajr would have been at about 5:35 am

He would have prayed at Fajr and then led out for execution.

[cwydro]

12. Is that the first call to prayer in the morning?

Certainly then I would suppose. But I just can't help but think he would be praying all the way.

On the other hand, perhaps he was too busy cursing America. And hey, I guess whatever works.

[TahitiNut]

13. Yup. Fajr is at dawn.

9. According to the NYT, he did.

"He said a last prayer. And then, his eyes wide open, no stutter or choke in his throat, said his final words cursing the Americans and the Persians."

11. He'll need them.

[cwydro]

14. Well, you're right there. nt

And imo a lot more, with what's been done to the world in our names.
