That particular site only lists the ones in the U.S.

From the article:

Police Commissioner Pablo Almirón said that the girl’s parents also believed she was possessed by the devil, saying she kept seeing animals like goats that were not there.

Almirón said: "It is the first time in 22 years of my career in the police to have an event of this nature."

"The prosecutor has also said that it is the first time in his life. It is very difficult to explain that something like this could happen to a teenager."

......everyone.................... behold.

Do not question the will of "GOD" !

1) It's just mental illness. Even if religion hadn't told these people about demons and possession they would have invented them independently to get this exact delusion into their heads

2) It's misogyny and patriarchy unconnected with religion. The folks, presumably including the sister, just hate uppity women to the point of torturing demons out regardless of religious belief

3) it's poverty and oppression from rich countries, especially the US, and a lack of social support systems. If it weren't for our involvement with Latin America, such depravity there wouldn't exist

4) The religious center is really just a front group for a psycho's wild cult (even though we can't detail the difference non-reflexively) therefore it's not a real religion and he's not a real pastor

Should be pretty close because even when religious people themselves say they are doing evil shit for religious reasons, somehow they never actually are and religion's never to blame.

It's also extremely different from the rest of the region in terms of population.
And please don't give me the "depravity wouldn't exist" business. People are perfectly good at torturing one another, regardless of whether or not the US was involved in a nation's history. I'm the first one to be critical of US involvement in Latin America (I teach it for a living); this has zero to do with where it happened and everything to do with people who have poisoned brains.

A mullah doing that is an example of his faith.

`Justifies this by saying that if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out! I guess the Christians thought they were just being helpful. (Matthew 18 v. 9 )


Where is the Quranic justification for such a thing?

In Islam, gang rape is not sanctioned - when it is officially done, it is used as a shaming punishment and not to banish demons. However AFAIK it is only a beloved tradition of tribal justice in Pakistan and India, and of course in numerous government detention centers. (See, "Reading Lolita in Tehran" for an example.)

Women getting their eyes gouged out is less common in the Muslim world. It is never to my knowledge done on a mullah's order. It is done by miffed husbands and in-laws to punish a disobedient wife. Noses and ears are often cut off as well. Jilted young men and fanatical enforcers of purity do their woman-blinding with acid rather than knives.

Any religous fuckwit doing this shit on the orders of his bronze-age superstition is human garbage who ought to be incinerated. It doesn't matter which brand of fuckwittery he subscribes to.

deserve.

He sure loves you as you are getting your eyes gouged out in the name of His mythology.

I think she had Undifferentiated-type schizophrenia:

•Paranoid-typeschizophrenia is characterized by delusions and auditory hallucinations (hearing voices that don't exist) but relatively normal intellectual functioning and expression of emotions. The delusions can often be about being persecuted by a person or an organization, or feeling harassed or treated unfairly. People with paranoid-type schizophrenia can exhibit anger, aloofness, anxiety, and can be argumentative.

•Disorganized-type schizophrenia is characterized by speech and behavior that are disorganized or difficult to understand, and flattening or inappropriate emotions. People with disorganized-type schizophrenia may laugh inappropriately for no apparent reason, make illogical statements, or seem preoccupied with their own thoughts or perceptions. Their disorganized behavior may disrupt normal activities, such as showering, dressing, and preparing meals.

•Undifferentiated-type schizophrenia is characterized by some symptoms seen in all of the above types, but not enough of any one of them to define it as another particular type of schizophrenia

The neo-con death cult has struck again.

when people abdicate their own rationality and join mobs and cults and churches.

People suck when they come together in groups and obey a leader. Hence: organized religion sucks.

literally, I guess. Religion. *spit*

Maybe the victim (22 years old and named Sandra) had her eyes torn out by her younger sister who heard voices telling her to do that. Or maybe her name is Elizabeth Juarez; she's only 16; and she was raped and blinded. Yet another story identifies her as Yanina Anabel Juarez

One story says the whole family was arrested. Another says only the sister who allegedly assaulted her was arrested

Some versions report traces of semen found; others say a liquid that might be sperm; still others merely report lesions in the groin area

One version says the victim had psychological problems, was taken to a church prayer service Monday, followed by more at home prayers later that day, but that investigators don't know what happened Tuesday. Some reports claim this was an exorcism ordered by a local pastor but this has not been confirmed. Another report indicates that the victim was assaulted by her sister Sandra and indicates that Sandra (now in custody) said the exorcism was done by a local pastor

with the victim 23, the sister who assaulted her 18, and the hospital not yet sure whether the lesions found indicate a sexual assault

Here the prosecutor says the victim roamed naked in the streets several times but he is not yet sure whether sexual abuse occurred

is her younger sister Sandra Elisabeth (21); the father says the younger daughter began to act and speak strangely, so they took the younger daughter for an exorcism Monday; and on Tuesday he told the older daughter to pray for the younger one; and then one of them heard voices saying to tear out the eyes of the other

when the younger sister suddenly tore her older sister's eyes out; the prosecutor says only the younger sister is charged

http://www.diariochaco.com/noticia/exorcismo-en-pinedo-le-arranco-los-ojos-con-las-manos-y-frente-toda-la-familia

seems the sister was the driving force (but the story's only a day old)
(ES) http://www.chacodiapordia.com/policiales/noticia/100355/horror-en-pinedo-creia-que-su-hermana-estaba-poseida-y-le-arranco-los-ojos

At least the police arrested her sister so there is some sense reason there.

This makes me want to throw up.

The victim -- who is named Sandra, or Elizabeth, or maybe Yanina Anabel -- is 16 or 21 or 22 or 23; and she has an younger (or older) sister (possibly named Sandra Elizabeth and possibly 18 or 21 or 22), who might be the only person arrested in this case -- or perhaps the whole family was arrested. Some reports say the victim's brother took her to the hospital

At least one of the sisters suffers from psychiatric symptoms. Depending on which reports one might believe, both may: at least one seems to see things nobody else can see; at least one has heard voices commanding her to assault the other; and at least one has wandered about naked at times; it is not clear from all reports which of these refer to which sister

The events under question seem to have occurred Monday. Prior to that, on Sunday the family seems to have taken at least one of the sisters to church and to have engaged in some related activities at home. Depending on the report, the home activities included singing, praying, and touching -- or some satanic ritual. In one version of the story, the father instructed one sister (who was later arrived at the hospital blinded) to go watch and pray over the other sister, who then heard voices telling her to tear out the other's eyes; in another version, the girl was blinded as part of an exorcism. Some reports say that this was done with scissors; others that the perpetrator obtained the knife from a pastor -- or that the arrested girl said she was acting on instructions from a pastor. Accounts of sexual assault range from gang rape, to semen found on the victim, to some liquid (which might be sperm) found on the victim, to injuries in the groin area which might (but are not yet known to) represent evidence of sexual assault

This suggests that many current press accounts are still based on rumor (rather than first-hand reports) and that the actual facts may not yet be accurately reported

People of Planet Earth: You need to stop believing in this primitive moronic mythological NONSENSE!!!

some believe the voices in their heads; some believe whatever somebody else tells them; some believe anything they read on the internet; and so on ...
