Tarek Fatah observed In the gruesome murder of American journalist Foley, it troubles me when I hear Muslims say, beheading has nothing to do with Islam and then people like president Obama validate that lie. How can Muslims deny that Prophet Muhammad himself ordered the beheading of a poet in Mecca who mocked Allah in his poetry? That makes the beheading punishment a Sunnah . Do we deny that later Muslims would behead the Prophets dearest grandson and then parade the head through the streets of Damascus ? Why do we pretend we dont know that centuries later in Baghdad, the agnostic Mansoor Hallaj was beheaded publicly? Do Muslim leaders not know about Timurlane building pyramids of skulls as Sharia experts cheered him on? We need to stop lying. via Atul I hope you have not had to watch the brutal beheading of Foley. But here is a video to dispel that religious teaching had nothing to do with it. What is more disconcerting is the number of videos such as these. Both teachings as also showing the enactment. And questioning these is being anti-secular?
