What nonsense. Has a head ever been able to or even wanted to be transplanted? This follows a report where a television show in Iran accused
).
I fully understand the need for a nation to demonize the enemy and of course this is nothing new. It happens on both sides of a war. During the Cold War for instance similar theories were written to demonize the United States.
My only question is this. Can't those who are trying to demonize the United States be a bit more realistic than this?

Can they be more realistic? Of course not. Claims like this should make the world understand what a backward bunch of idiots they are. Just think, their own people are stupid enough to believe it. So what does that make their own people? A bit lower on the evolutionary scale. Heh!! I just discovered the missing link.

We need to take down sites that broadcast such shit. Where we can not physically reach the transmitter, jam the signals. There is no international first ammendment, and there is a right to respond to an attack.

What American hospitals got these organs? Then who were the Americans at these hospitals that had them put in? Name names. Give some specifics! Looks to me like another Rathergate.

Lots of real things that have happened in the world may seem ludicrous.

Easy, guys. If you're going to fight for men's rights to free speech you've got to respect all men's rights, not just the ones wearing your colors.
Mind you, the Dr. Mengala story being broadcast here is insanely stupid (who wants to Google for the shelf life of a fresh organ on ice?) and shouldn't be given credence, but still. Bomb the broadcast towers and jam the signals? You'll just make them think they're on the right track the way you're trying to suppress their speech.
Lies can only hurt you if you give people a reason to believe them.

We steal the organs we can use. Perhaps we make pastries out of the rest? Hmmm . . . where have I heard this sort of libel before. Why of course. The Saudi press.
And Michael, I do have to offer a bit of disagreement. Lies can hurt you, if other people believe them. If some 13 year old Palestinian kid straps on a bomb because he believes the lies, as well as the ones about the virgins and candy waiting on the other side.
We have to counter the lies with the truth. A lie that goes unanswered is often believed, and it can, indeed, kill us.

Oh man, who is spreading this garbage? This cannot be true; who is spreading this kind of rumors? Being an organ donor is a wonderful thing. I was once one till I realize that someone with my disease could not be a donor. I cannot believe that anyone could humanly go around and steal organs for aay reason -that is not how it's done. These people are so behind medically and it takes a lot of know-how to match the person with the donor. How could this really be true?
I've been through this process myself so how could this backwards asshat have that kind of knowledge?
You know, maybe it's it not that all - maybe what they are doing is just mutilating bodies?? Making the excuse of organ donorship is a front to what they are doing out of mutilation? They just have the capability of this very sensitive and well prepared organ donorship, especilly those who know ins and outs of this surgery with the first being time.
do these people have that iced up lunchbox, a helicopter standing by? a donor ready for and prepared? I doubt it but why mutiliate them after the person it is dead like that? I know too much about tranplants to believe that this is really happening - it seems to me it's more of a mutilation thing but that is my own personal opinion.

This still boggles my mind... what are the Saudi's trying to hide by making up such stories?
The other day, the Saudi's beheaded their 31st drug trafficker. Once these guys are convicted, the next day they are beheaded. (not in the way Al Qaeda groups have done their hostages). How do they get away with this kind of punishment? And the other types of punishment in all those countries do and is accepted? All of it is so inhumane.
just curious.

The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it.
Every one of you said Saudi this, Saudi that, do you ask how do they get the information.

Think! Think!! Think!!!

i think these saudi muslims(mutawas) are sick motherfuckers who could be so brutal in life. i had a tuff time there. i m gay and feminine. i think if one appears gay there, he has a high chance to get arrested. these mutawaas were folloing me when i was shopping in the malls. i was wearing a feminine top and a low waste jeans. first they thought i m a female and then they thoguht i m not. the followed me fast and i could sense it. i ran off to my hotel. checked out and took a flight back to my country India where i dont have to face all these stupid laws. one of the mutawas even winked his eyes to me and indirectly wanted to propose me for sex. see how funny, they arrest gays and yet want to shag with them. They are simply sick bastards who dont have principles in life...They should be mass killed.

I am a mom of 2 girls with heart transplants. Such garbage like this Saudi reporter presents should have immediate front-page rebuttals, showing what idiocy this propaganda is. So many people await organs and many die waiting. These people don't need this kind of defamatory stuff out there, as it may persuade some to not become organ donors, thinking some hanky-panky goes on in the process.
If not for organ donors, 2 of my children wouldn't be here today.
