misunderstood??

Reader comment on item: Bridges TV, a Wife's Beheading, and Honor Murder
in response to reader comment: The misunderstood religion.

Submitted by Joeru (United States), Feb 17, 2009 at 16:20

If beheadings are now "becoming a regular feature of Western life" it is because Islamic terrorists have raised the concept from an obscure, bizarre thing that has not been performed since medieval times to a true possibility for modern individuals.

If the US has a "Crusader" mentality, then why the lack of announcing the Islam connection (much as another poster pointed out would have been done if the perpetrator was a big Christian minister, or, I suggest, a rabbi)? Also, if there was a conspiracy, how long do you think it would be able to be hidden in today's world?

Alas, the reality writes itself.
