Re: You quoted a woman who had no details about who where when or even if this actually happened. She said it was a story she heard Take it up with CNN and the AP. It's not like I gave a link to a nutty website. Would you rather I not post a story from CNN or the AP until it is substantiated by 10 people?

Strangers pray for Youssif at beach [Iraqi burn victim] CNN ^ \| 9/18/2007 cnn.com MALIBU, California (CNN) -- "Hey, that's the boy I just saw on TV!" a voice shouted out from the beach. Unaware, Youssif streaked past, little legs pumping as fast as they could across the sand, coming to a screeching halt a few feet away from the waves breaking at the shore. Frightened and excited, the 5-year-old Iraqi boy shrieked and laughed as his father lifted him to safety as each wave crashed around their legs.

"We'd like to pray for Youssif and his family. Can you ask if they will accept this?" The reply: "Of course," said Youssif's mother, Zainab.

Watch Youssif being happy again » "They are going to need strength and patience, and God, just put your hand on little Youssif and his family," one of them said, head bowed in prayer. They continued to pray for the boy, his family and even for forgiveness of his attackers. Other beachgoers witnessed the scene, joined in and dropped to their knees -- more than 30 people in all. It was nine months ago to the day that Youssif was savagely attacked -- set ablaze by masked men near his Baghdad home. Watching the scene, the outpouring of warmth from total strangers, Zainab wept, tears running down her face. "I was overcome with emotion," she said later. "Here in America, people were moved by him. Why not in Iraq?" (Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ....
