A six-year-old boy was reportedly beheaded with a shard of glass as his mother desperately tried to save him in Saudi Arabia.

Zakaria Al-Jaber was in a taxi with his mother on their way to the shrine of Prophet Muhammad in Medina when the driver stopped the car and forced the boy out.

He dragged him to an area near a coffee shop in the Al-Tilal neighborhood, before smashing a glass bottle, reports TMV.

The taxi driver slit his throat with a shard of glass before stabbing him repeatedly as both his mother and a nearby police officer attempted to stop the brutal attack.

It is not known why the driver attacked the boy, but Saudi officials have reportedly claimed he was suffering from mental health issues.

Shia Rights Watch have claimed an unknown man had asked the mother if she was Shia moments before the attack happened.
 
I'm agnostic. I say that because I want to believe, though I rationally don't, that death is not the end of existence. Religion however, can generate a kind of madness that has killed millions.

That's why you're agnostic ? because of what might come after dying ? I never thought of it that way before ... I know books promise some kind of everlasting life but, that's not why I believe in God ... I just believe in him because he's a good guy, like Batman.
 
He was a gorgeous little boy. RIP, Zakaria. :arghh:

Also, it will be even more tragic if he was killed for being a different sect of Islam than the killer cab driver subscribed to. Different flavors of the same religion hating and killing each other always strikes me as extra stupid.

The offer of life everlasting in return for loyalty and good behaviour is essentially the key theme in the Abrahamic religions.
