The Worth of Life, £5 ??

The British mass was in shock today as news of a horrifying attack on a 23 year old mentally challenged boy was reported. Three teenagers, aged 21, 17 and 16 bet £5 to each other that they could knock Brent Martin out. Brent Martin had spent 9 years of his life in mental hospitals and he regarded the three teens as his mates. They behaved like a pack of animals as they repeatedly punched, kicked, headbutted and stamped on him. Both the 17 and 16 year old boys were trained boxers.

There were four separate attacks of violence on Brent, and between each of them, he would apologise to the youths, shake their hand and buy them cigarettes and alcohol. As soon as they would finish the cigarette, they would continue punching him. One witness described them as "appearing to be happy from what they had done - getting a buzz out of it". The post mortem revealed that Brent suffered from 18 separate blows to the head and neck. He died 2 days later in the Royal Sunderland Hospital, having never regained consciousness.

Such events have become a norm in UK. With no religious/moral boundaries in life, troubled teens grow up to become gun-toting, bitter adults who are nothing but a waste of human resource for any country.

Many people argue that Muslims can't separate their religious and social life, but to those people I say, it is the discipline of religion that shows you what's right and wrong. Man is the most intelligent being on earth, but he is also very ignorant. The importance of a religion has clearly been noticed by the UK government as they have now introduced and encouraged religious subjects at GCSE level. On a final note, I'd like to offer my condolence to the family of Brent Martin. RIP !
