So, Mr. Ibrahim, why did you kill your son?

"God told me to sacrifice him"

Ok, Mr. Ibrahim, please put your hands behind your back..

This actually occurred about 35 years ago. A Mormon guy stabbed his infant daughter to death because he believed God commanded him to do it while he was watching (of all things) the Sound of Music on TV. Very, very sad case. We studied it in college. The man was clearly schizophrenic, but the symptoms were ignored by his family and the community. He said that he believed God was going to stop him before he actually did it.

BTW - Abraham/Ibrahim did not actually kill his son in the story.
