It's religion and it's different. No it's not - it's a mental illness.
I apologise for the sentiment if you are religious ... but I really believe that any religion is capable of reaching the heights of violence and depravity we are seeing in the middle east today ... and because there are enough stupid soft-headed individuals in the world, it could be your doorstep tomorrow ... anything which teaches that a load of made up stories are true (and that you shouldn't question the evidence) will automatically make de-humanising people much easier - because they are fighting for a made up God. It makes me sick. What other thing in human history would make people systematically lie to their beloved children about how the world is and how to behave towards other people ... even the mildest-mannered religious person taken in by the inherent lie of their faith is part of the problem you see today.Squeezyjohn
Sometimes wrong and sometimes right .... but ALWAYS certain!!!

Howard Fineman on Beheading: "First Time I've Seen Obama Take Something Personally" (video)
HOWARD FINEMAN, HUFFINGTON POST: I think the president doesn't think in mano a mano terms. He likes to think of himself, and I know he thinks of himself, as a broad-gauged deep guy who plays a long-term game. Has allies, has a plan. Doesn't take it personally. This is the first time I've ever seen him sort of take something personally. Now there is also a school of thought --

what a mess
Regardless, I think we need to act in a more decisive manner over all.........either blow them up or let them be
but this policy of "Hey, we are going to blow you up just a little.....but then we are going to be your friends" seems only to lead to duplicity and a bigger messWhen it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

I don't want to say this but I have to...
What about violence and massacres happening in Mexico due to drug violence? Much of the drug violence, therefore, trafficking, is due to the US demand for drugs. So I'm pretty sure the US is responsable for many, many beheadings.
If one beheading is something horrible (there's no doubt in that), you can't even imagine the horrors that mexican drug cartels do and apply to their victims.
