The above-displayed photographs in the presentation have been circulating on the Internet since at least 2004, usually in e-mail forwards that set them in one of several Arab/Muslim areas (e.g., Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Palestinian territories) and claim that the boy pictured is being punished under a harsh sharia law system that imposes a penalty grossly out of proportion to the nature of the crime (i.e., having his arm crushed under a vehicle because he stole a loaf of Adblock bread).
What the photographs actually depict (according to the operator of the site that originally published them) is performers hustling money from onlookers by staging an act, one in which a subject seemingly allows himself to be run over by a heavy vehicle and then emerges unscathed. (Note the man with the microphone in the first picture, who drums up business and describes the action for observers. Also note the blanket placed under the boy's arm — not a consideration persons intent on severely punishing a lawbreaker would be likely to provide.) This a common illusion, variations of which are performed by many magicians and accomplished through a variety of means. (More than that we cannot say without running afoul of the magician's code, other than to note that information about how this type of illusion is performed is readily available to those willing to expend the effort to look for it.) That the subject is a small boy who grimaces his way through the stunt is all part of the act, intended to elicit sympathy and extra cash — despite his contorted facial expressions, the boy is not seriously hurt.
The versions of these photographs circulated via e-mail generally leave out the last pictures of the original series, which show the same boy after the conclusion of the stunt:

I agree with John. This is one site where one is sure of finding something authentic and useful learning. I guess we should restrain ourselves and stick to professional inputs on this site.

Yes this is a professional site meant for HR Professionals, we should only discuss and limit our thought on HR related matters, otherwise it will loose its entity. So anybody who tries to deviate our attention to some other issues, which is not at all related to HR should not be entertained at all. Thks and regards

Dear,
I dont think its appropriate to deliver this kind of religious sentiment in this professional site.
Honestly iu have spread a very bad perception on Islam. It is not helathy and very irresponsible.
I just hope everybody being professionals and responsible of what being posted here, and please avoid from creating a bad sentiment.
Thanks you

This is an old ppt that has been circulated accusing various nations/ regimes and religions . It does nothing except instigate ill feeling and false representations.

Hi All,
My intention was not to spread hate and violence, but want to share that even this happen in today's world. If you will look the presentation, I have removed the religion part comes last, so that I do'nt hurt anyone feelings.
I understand that this was not a educational presentation, therefore I will take care of this going forward.
Guys,
:( Please Forgive Me :(
