Beheading is Islamic!

Al-Jazeera is the famous Arab network that calls every Arab suicide bomber a shaheed, or martyr. Islamic radicals have killed writers in Algeria, Egypt and elsewhere whose work challenged the logic of martyrdom and "random jihad," or killing foreigners in the name of Islam. But the lack of condemnation of the beheadings, despite their barbarism, is a direct result of a broad and dangerous trend in Arab media and in Arab culture broadly. The Arab world today swims in a sea of linguistic violence that justifies terrorism and makes it acceptable, especially to the young.

One Egyptian student told me the Americans "deserve [killing] for their support to Israel and their occupation of Iraq." A Kuwaiti who recently graduated from a Pennsylvania university said of Americans, "Don't believe them when they say it is al Qaeda that is slaying Americans. It is Americans who are killing Americans to justify their presence in the Arab world and to control Arab oil." Arabs should stop deceiving themselves by confusing the suffering of Arabs in Iraq and the occupied territories in Israel with the beheading of innocent people in Iraq and elsewhere.

Why Killing Islamically: (?)

Perhaps, many can not quite conceive why these Islamic terrorists use this ancient barbaric method of beheading (by sword, knives or Axes) to kill kaffirs, instead of using simple and sure method of bullets. This is because they are the true Muslims and true followers of the best human Prophet Muhammad. It's not true that they have any shortage of guns and pistols. But they are afraid to disobeying Prophet's methods and tactics prescribed by the holy Quran.

The above certainly fuels the Colonel's fires to have Al Jazeera be granted access to the U.S. media market as a mouthpiece for the unadulterated h_______t described above.

We're likewise happy that that fool from Kuwait was welcomed with open arms at the university in that infidel hell hole, Pennsylvania. Apparently he arrived and left with a tenuous grip on reality.

And the gratitude, the gratitude. From Kuwait, yet! It brings tears to our eyes. We must have more! Send them! Send them!

We truly regret the rough language here, but sometimes the language of our Army days must spring forth and live again to limn some particular aspect of the Arab world deemed meritorious of such a resurrection.
