Any word yet on why he killed her? Maybe she cheated on him? Or apostacised?

What you're missing is the hilarity in the fact that this "man" was trying to alleviate the stereotypical views westerners have of Muslims, and then went ahead and beheaded his wife for wanting to leave him....pretty stereotypical......or maybe just typical.

No, you don't understand, or deliberately choose not to, what the hilarity is. I never said it was the poor woman who was beheaded. Read it again.

And no, I don't think people believe it's the "stereotypical" muslim who beheads their wife (daughter, non-muslim neighbour) I think it's becoming quite obvious that it's fairly typical.

But I do give you credit for your persistence in attempting to excuse Islam and all it's atrocities. Few believe you, but kudos anyway.

Ok, if it's atypical, then when was the last case of a Muslim man beheading anyone other than his wife??

Muslims have well and truly cornered the head hacking business. Go to a betting shop (or send an infidel) and check out the odds you could get for the next beheading in the news being by a Muslim versus a non-muslim.


This is not about the wife, it's about the beheading - and that not even a wife is safe from an incensed Muslim. Why pretend you ddon't get it?

So Daniel Pearl was killed in battle? And the Thai schoolgirls?

No, that's just like Abu putting up another strawman. The huge raft of evidence shows that it is no coincidence that both Islamic terrorists, and muslims all over the place think that beheading is the correct Islamic way to kill someone. It also overlooks the fact that women are terrorised throughout islam, and subjugated as breeding cattle with few of the rights western women have under sharia law. Mohammed killed the 800 Jews by beheading setting the precedent.

It overlooks the power imbalance given to women in Islam, where the Koran commands that a man can beat his wife, and must rule the life of a wife as if she was a small child. Women are always considered property in Islam, from the earliest age, until they die, just for having babies and doing housework, either commanded by their father or by their husband.  

You rely on the fact that most Westerners don't know. I *do* know, so you wont be fooling me.

Fine sentiments.

Would be credible if we had any muslim demonsrators in Sydney, London, Paris, New York, Berlin not only when America and Israel retailiate against terrorists acting in the name of islam, shouting 'Allahu akhbar' - but when the same terrorsists act savegely against fellow muslims, tourists, ordinary peoplee  in every corner of the globe.

A Polish engineer was just beheaded in Pakistan by saveges drawing innspiration from islam. Scores have been beheaded before across the globe. I want to see the mass of outraged Muslims on George Street chanting ' not in our name' before I sign up, Mozz.

I would dearly love to be able to show solidarity with ordinary muslims if they ever took to the streets and protested in strong and unequivocal terms against the monstreous savagery committed in the name of their religion.

But I never have the chance, not even remotely. It ain't going to happen.  There is no Muslim groundswell,  abhored, disgusted, outraged about the 'misrepresentation'.  They are either scared or agree with the saveges or can't be fagged to let out even a peep.

This is not an issue about unsympathetic non-muslims. This is not about a missunderstood 'other'.  It is about the muslims. And we see - or not, more accurately - which way their hearts and sentiments move them.

The silent majory of muslims is a cowered or indifferent majority.  I am sure they are nice individually, in daily encounters. But they have traded away their dignity - and my sympathy, for one - when they did not stand up against the saveges. They have had plenty of opportunities over the years - and consistently missed every single one of them. That is not an oversight, that is not down to being busy or wanting to wait until all the facts are in. They never miss an opportunity at being outraged when someeone hits back. You never hear the end of it when a non-muslim kicks their arses. But when they slaughter each other, islamically-like, it's mum - or whatever the Koranic word is for shtum.

They know all the freedomss when it's marching on the US or israeli eembassy or the Australian parliament. but it is all gone as if it had neeveer entered their heads when it come to demostrating at thee Iranianm Iraqi, Afghan, Pakistani, Insian, thai, malaysian, indonesian, Algerian, Egyptian, Syrian embassies, not to mention the unimaginable - a march in solidarity with the innocents slaughtered by muslims. That's what I want to see: Muslims agitating, active, with conviction against the savages. I'll be there helping.i
