Ironically, as per an older post shared below, Lebanon recently abolished death penalty while the United States of America is re-making it public for the case of Dr.\/Former Dr. Nidal Hasan (who killed 13 soldiers in 2009)? Is the world upside down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how is this forthcoming public execution different from the barbaric practices in countries like Iran as well as others? A couple of days ago, one of this blog&#8217;s readers wrote a comment that moved Bambi&#8217;s heart to the core: &#8220;yo<em>ung people in Iran are executed every morning to the sound of the Azan<\/em>&#8220;. For those who do no know it, Azan is the Islamic call to prayer. Is this the model that the Trump administration is inspired by? Thanks to the Economic Times for its article on this topic, which highlights one of Mr. Trump&#8217;s contradictions (<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/u7b4xmd6\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/u7b4xmd6<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please make no mistake, dear readers, Bambi is sad for the soldiers who lost their lives. She is against violence toward anyone, including these victims. Clearly, the psychiatrist who committed the crime, or terrorist attack, did an evil act for sure. Despite this, she is against <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">both<\/span> death penalty and barbaric\/medieval public executions.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May God forgive criminals, like Dr.\/Former Dr. Hasan, and decision-makers who seem to have lost their moral compass and sense of humanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May the souls of the 13 victims keep resting in peace&#8230; May their memory be eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Hallelujah - Lucy Thomas - (Official Music Video)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4hjgkvuKES8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/heart.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31085\" style=\"width:196px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/heart.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/heart-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>  &#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bambi-039-s-afkar wp-block-embed-bambi-039-s-afkar\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"dPrvtA7o2K\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2026\/08\/11\/lebanon-bravo-for-abolishing-death-penalty-in-first-for-region-as-per-reuters\/\">Lebanon: Bravo for abolishing death penalty &#8220;in first for region&#8221;, as per Reuters!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Lebanon: Bravo for abolishing death penalty &#8220;in first for region&#8221;, as per Reuters!&#8221; &#8212; Bambi&#039;s Afkar\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2026\/08\/11\/lebanon-bravo-for-abolishing-death-penalty-in-first-for-region-as-per-reuters\/embed\/#?secret=XKZG6wqabm#?secret=dPrvtA7o2K\" data-secret=\"dPrvtA7o2K\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is the US administration getting that low, on the scales of both humanity and ethics?
