My take is that there is something very wrong with this concept. Of Course it is my opinion.Â
It seems that some want to defend this by blaming something else that caused it.....like it says in article,  who are you trying to kid......the USA did not cause this.
This is how they believe and live as normal. Not our idea, of anyone normal anyway.

Conspiracy theories swirl around the death of Antonin Scalia
Texas judge: Scalia died of natural causes?

Two days after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died suddenly in remote West Texas, a former D.C. homicide commander is raising questions about how the death was handled by local and federal authorities.
“As a former homicide commander, I am stunned that no autopsy was ordered for Justice Scalia,†William O. Ritchie, former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police, wrote in a post on Facebook on Sunday.
[The death of Antonin Scalia: Chaos, confusion and conflicting reports]Â
Scalia was found dead in his room at a luxury hunting resort in the state’s Big Bend region by the resort’s owner. It took hours for authorities to find a justice of the peace. When they did, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara pronounced Scalia dead of natural causes without seeing the body — which is permissible under Texas law — and without ordering an autopsy.
On Sunday, the U.S. Marshals Service, which provides security for Supreme Court justices, said that Scalia had declined a security detail while at the ranch, so marshals were not present when he died. When the marshals were notified, deputy marshals from the Western District of Texas went to the scene, the service said in a statement.
Guevara said she declared Scalia dead based on information from law enforcement officials on the scene, who assured her that “there were no signs of foul play.†She also spoke to Scalia’s doctor, who told her that the justice had been to see him Wednesday and Thursday last week for a shoulder injury and that he had ordered an MRI for Scalia, according to WFAA-TV in Dallas. The 79-year-old justice also suffered from several chronic conditions, Guevara said. She said she was awaiting a statement from the physician to complete Scalia’s death certificate.
The manager of the El Paso funeral home that handled Scalia’s body said Scalia’s family insisted on not having an autopsy done. But the decision has spawned a host of conspiracy theories online, as well as skeptical questions from law enforcement experts such as Ritchie.
“You have a Supreme Court Justice who died, not in attendance of a physician,†he wrote. “You have a non-homicide trained US Marshal tell the justice of peace that no foul play was observed. You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack. What medical proof exists of a myocardial Infarction? Why not a cerebral hemorrhage?â€
In an interview with The Washington Post, Guevara has said she rebutted a report by a Dallas TV station that Scalia had died of “myocardial infarction.†She said she meant only that his heart had stopped.
Ritchie also raised questions about the marshals’ actions:
Scalia’s physician, Brian Monahan, is a U.S. Navy rear admiral and the attending physician for the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court. He declined to comment on Scalia’s health when reached by telephone Monday at his home in Maryland.
“Patient confidentiality forbids me to make any comment on the subject,†he said.
When asked whether he planned to make public the statement he’s preparing for Guevara, Monahan repeated the same statement and hung up on a reporter.

Judge says she changed her mind on autopsy, decided it wasn't needed
MARFA, Texas (AP) — A Texas judge says she initially determined that an autopsy should be conducted on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
But Judge Cinderela Guevara says she changed her mind after speaking with Scalia's doctor -- who confirmed that the justice had a history of heart trouble and other illnesses. The judge says that medical history, and a lack of any signs of foul play, meant the justice likely died of natural causes and that no autopsy would be necessary.
Scalia was found dead in his room at a West Texas resort ranch Saturday morning. He was 79.
A manager at a Texas funeral home says Scalia's family didn't think a private autopsy was necessary, and requested that his remains be returned to Washington as soon as possible.
The owner of Cibolo Creek Ranch near Marfa, where Scalia died, said the justice seemed his usual self at dinner the night before he was found "in complete repose" in his room. John Poindexter told reporters Scalia was part of a group of about 35 weekend guests. He arrived Friday around noon.

“How to properly beat your wife, according to the PA Mufti in Gaza,†by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, February 15, 2016:
Quote:[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65098)]During a weekly Palestinian Authority TV program on social issues, the Mufti of Gaza Hassan Al-Laham discussed divorce in Islam. He explained that Allah directed men to take four steps to resolve conflicts with one’s wife before resorting to divorce:
“Allah said: Warn them [the wives], and separate from them, and hit them, and bring an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family.â€
[Official PA TV, Feb. 8, 2016]
His essential message is that while “she became your wife, and she is under your command,†nonetheless, hitting is to be used only after warning her and separating from her “in the bedroom†has failed to achieve the desired result. And then, when hitting is being used at the proper time, it should not be a severe beating:
“Not hitting that will bring the police, and break her hand and cause bleeding, or hitting that makes the face ugly.â€
Indeed, the hitting should “be like a joke,†even reinforcing “the love and friendship†between the couple:
“This hitting is a kind of reminder that the love and friendship that Allah commanded, is still found between us (i.e., the couple).â€
