Because Sharia law bans alcohol, people who violate it deserve to die? Or to be mocked for suffering due to someone's ignorance or dishonesty?
Go away, you miserable waste of organic molecules.
They should ban alcohol to prevent these tragic poisonings.
Couldn't afford the black market Duff beer so they had to settle for old Fudd instead. If you're a cowboy drinking Fudd, you only go blind.
All kidding aside, it's a senseless tragedy. My cynical side tells me nothing will change, so there's really no silver lining.
