Allison reports a horrific story of abduction, torture, and murder of a young Jewish man, Ilan Hallimi, in France.

Halimi was lured out of his cellphone store by a cute girl and then overpowered by a gang of Muslim men. After his abuctors gave up on the ransom plan, they tied him up to a tree naked for weeks. They cut him and burnt him alive. Halimi died on the way to the hospital.

He got the Matthew Shepard treatment.

To add insult to injury, the French police deny that the man was targetted because of his religion. (Yeah, they had a thing against cellphone distributors.) And this story has been totally neglected by the major international news sources.

People, let’s do what the blogosphere does best. Highlight neglected stories. And shake our fists at wrong doings. Link away.
