Flash Burns are very horrible, disfiguring to the skin (face) and painful.
The other two examples I suggested are much, much worse.

The first time contained a little 'disaster'. When I served, in addition to the traditional turkey, my World Famous Glazed Ham. When I saw the look in his eyes. I started to remove The Ham and he said it was OK. But I wasn't comfortable, and out of respect, removed it anyway


Could have been worse...

Someone at that store got a talking to. :^)

BTW: In addition to others I know who practice the Muslim Faith. A good friend and neighbor of ours for decades. Comes over our house with his family every Thanksgiving (an American Holiday). To dine with me, my wife and the rest of our family.

The 'Ham Incident' was never repeated :)

Ah. The food regulations in Islamic traditions,
No pork and no dogs.
But it's written in the Quran that you could eat that if you can't find any other food.

I send wishes of recovery to the victims and their families.
A sentiment that I notice is missing from every other post.

I would call that hypocritical.
30 people was injured.
Some was flash burned but most of the others was injured in the panic situation after the explosion.
And their families has not suffered at all!
I know that 8 persons has already been discharged from the hospitals.

EDMONTON, Alberta -- A car and knife attack on a police officer outside a football game and a high-speed chase of a moving van that left four people injured are being investigated as acts of terrorism, Canadian authorities said Sunday.

Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht said officers took the suspect, later described as a 30-year-old Edmonton man, into custody and he is believed to have acted alone. Knecht said an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) flag was found in the car that hit the officer, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it a terror attack.

According to the FBI, 64-year-old offender Stephen Paddock has no known connections with terrorism. Something that contradicts previous information from the terrorist group of Islamic States where they take responsibility on the mass shooting.

But usually Amaq make these type of announcements when ever there are mass killings around the world.

He probably didn't care much for the country music and boot scootin' going on. ;-)

But sadly it won't change anything over there as the idiots must have their guns.

No cheers.

http://www.dw.com/en/gunman-attacks-saudi-royal-palace-in-jeddah/a-40861457
Two royal guards were shot dead and three others were wounded on Saturday when a gunman opened fire outside the Saudi royal palace in Jeddah, the interior ministry said.

Guards killed the gunman, who was identified as 28-year-old Saudi national Mansour al-Amri.

"An outpost of the royal guard came under fire by a person who got out of a Hyundai car," the interior ministry said in a statement run by state media. "He was immediately dealt with and his cowardly act also resulted in the martyrdom" of two guards, it added.

A Kalashnikov assault rifle and three Molotov cocktails were found on the attacker.

The greatest supplier of weapons to Middle Eastern terrorists, Saudi Arabia, not only does a huge military arms deal with the U.S., but also does another one Russia as well.

This will come back to bite someone. :-(

When will certain countries stop supplying arms to those who knowingly pass on weapons to those who shouldn't have them?

No cheers.

Be it Churchill's alliance with Mass Murdering Stalin to defeat Hitler. Alliances are not always among friends, nor those which share a similar culture.
Quite correct. However, when you mention history, do so impartially.

Who is the man in the middle?

Loving my control of... When I post you MUST respond with a silliness.

Mentioning Churchill does not, nor ever means, dismissing others.
Being an American, wouldn't it be Roosevelt & Stalin? Doesn't one "automatically" refer to their own nation in the first instance?

You stated this:
It appears that the Saud Family understands what they must do to protect their Rule.
So you sell them the weapons to do so, knowing full well that they are going to provide portions of them to terrorists?

Whatever happened to your "war on terror"?

Too many $ signs clouding the mind?
