That would make them less civilized, I think.Originally posted by: Todd33
Bombs are more civilized, but less precise.
Oh I don't know. I think, when the aliens attack I will be very glad, long dead though I be, that the entire planet is covered by Muslims. We will pose a formidable challenge to their invasion and enslavement plans given that every single one of us, man woman and child, will be prepared on a moment's notice to die for Earth and Allah.Originally posted by: Astaroth33
Islam has produced a sick, sick culture. It is, in my opinion, completely worthless.
/me patiently waits for the tremendous outcry from the Islamic world denouncing this behavior from al-Zarqawi....
*tumbleweeds*

Exactly - they're drawing attention to their 'cause' by posting the videos on the internet. The more downloads they have, the more videos they'll want, thus the more killings there will likely be. The more killings, the more recruits.Originally posted by: Garuda

This is a misconception.
These videos are not really intended to scare Westerners from coming to Iraq, that is just a secondary purpose.
The main purpose is to show it to Muslim kids all over the world, and get them excited about the Jihadi cause.
A video likes this reaffirms their faith in Allah. To them it's visual proof that he's crushing the infidels.

I think that the beheadings are done by the same group. I don't think that the action itself is widespread or likely to catch on. It's gruesome and must be difficult to carry out.
The arabs/al quieda had a hard time finding 18 that would fly planes into buildings, beheadings are a little easier to carry out but more macabre and I assume harder to assign. I don't think that your average Jihadi is willing to do that.
IED, yes. Snipe? Yes. Beheadings? Um, well, I have to watch my little sister today....find someone else ot cut off heads.
I think once the group is eradicated you'll see an upbrupt end to this madness.
BTW, I hope they go slowly and painfully.

I'm muslim and these videos doesn't excite me. It's amazing to see the same dumba$$es blaming Islam for what is happening in Iraq.
Yes, I'm sure people here would condone it if a Christian group started beheading people. :roll:Originally posted by: 0marTheZealot
Of course if a non-muslimgroup did this and said those exact words in another language, everyone here would say it's a political fight.
bunch of bigots. Iraq is a political contest with religious overtones. Not a religious crusade.
My point was that anyone with a soul will decry such acts regardless of who they're carried out by.Originally posted by: 0marTheZealot
read between the lines I said non-muslim group.
The fight in Iraq is a political fight with religious overtones.

It's a lot less sickening when you smart bomb a building, because the dead are usually crushed under heavy concrete and out of site.
Cutting a throat is much more personal, much more graphic and a better leading story in the news.
I heard tumbleweeds too, a few days ago when the US bombed an *insurgent* building, but these so called *insurgents* carried their dead and injured relatives to the hospital, where they immediately decried the US.
We reap what we sow, and this is a perfect example.
