Islam Edging Closer To Being Classified as a Mental Disease

We all knew this was coming. It is one of the favorite tactics of defense lawyers and that is to get their clients classified as having some sort of mental disorder in order to avoid the harsher penalties that may be passed on them.

Here are two more case studies to promote this cause.

Remember the guy in Arizona who ran down his daughter because he thought she was too westernized? Yup, his lawyer is pushing for a mental evaluation.

An Iraqi immigrant accused of killing his 20-year-old daughter because he believed she had become too westernized doesn't understand court proceedings and may need a mental-health evaluation, his lawyer said Wednesday.

And, of course, lawyers for the Ft. Hood mass murderer are also trying to do the same thing.

The attorney for the Fort Hood shootings suspect says his client will be evaluated next month to determine his mental status that day and whether he's competent to stand trial.

I have thought for a long time that followers of Islam were nuts. I mean, come on, when your big ambition in life is to strap explosives to your body and blow up a bunch of innocent people in the hopes of getting 72 virgins, your thought process has to be slightly screwy.
