That sucks. Is there any doubt now that Saudi Arabia is the real problem area? That's the place we should be screaming at each other about, not Iraq.

What exactly do these "people" think they achieved by doing this? IF these idiots are ever caught , killing them would be too easy I think. They should be put in a dark, damp, cell no bigger than a closet, and every night they should get punched in the face by this man's son. The kind of punch that makes your eyes water and your nose bleed. Every night. And when he gets too old to punch hard enough, his son (Paul Johnson's grandson) gets a shot at them. They should suffer like that every night until they die, miserable,old, in constant pain, and alone. When they do finally die, I'm sure there afterlife wont be any better.
Actually I could get behind an attack on AQ in Saudi since there is more evidence of a link to the war on terror than Iraq.
This just makes me sick. I can't imagine what that family has gone through over the last few days, not to mention the man who was taken captive (and apparentlly beheaded). I honestly don't understand how people could do something like that.
It's very sad but it also causes more concern because terrorists love this kind of attention so I think this is just the beginning of many more beheadings. I'm sure they will do this every chance they get. The bastardization of Islam is what this is. No God could ever justify killing a defenseless civilian in such a manner.
+ And going after Saudi is a good idea. It'll never happen, though. And please do note that this isn't Islam. Note how one of the major Saudi clerics DID come out and state that this is not Islamic, that the assailants should release the hostage, and that attacking innocents is not right. See the MSNBC front page coverage (as of right now, anyway) to see the exact quote.
Last night, I was talking with my dad, and was saying I hope the dumb, twisted folks don't hurt this innocent guy. I checked on CNN this morning and was relieved nothing was mentioned, but it was too good to last. Prayers go out to this guys family, and his soul. dc rock ... you should add a bench with nails sticking out so when they get tired and want to sit down, they can't ... just stand for the rest of your days being abused. Abhorable. Just thinking about hurting another person in such proximity sends chills down my spine. Disgusting. RIP.
Agreed. It's peculiar how prevalent it is in Islam. Truly. Why is that? This is not a loaded partisan queston it is sincere. Why are there so many of these nutjobs?
Good question, to which I have no answer. Could it be that somehow Middle Eastern culture makes Middle Easterners more prone to becoming extremists? If so, how?
Have you ever thought that people in other cultures can say the same thing about Americans? 30 years ago now
Did anyone in those prisons actually get beheaded? Did they die? Or was it just humiliation? It is NOT EVEN FRICKEN CLOSE !!! These morons deserve to die, and what more, they should be killed and publicly buried in Pigs hide, or whatever the heck they believe stops them from going to meet Allah. Pathetic...just pathetic. DD
