    For whatever reason, it is politically correct to say Islam is "a religion of peace" or some iteration of that.

    That viewpoint is bullshit.

    Algeria: another beheading by an Islamic group aligned or associated with Syrian Islamic State group.

    While the Gitmo tortures and other abuses of prisoners in American custody don't rise nearly to this level of inhumanity and sheer cruelty and evil, did they contributed to the dulling of any standard of humane conduct ??

    I note here that American prisoners in Vietnam was similarly tortured and abused but we did not emulate that behavior as standard operating procedure. Though abuses were done.


    Or have the Islamic terrorists, from the PLO in '72, massacres and hijackings to Leon Klinghoffer to 9/11 to today merely show a 40 year progression of extreme barbarism by a group united by a single belief system, Islam. All Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim (or Russian)

    An interesting point was brought up on Real Time of all places last week.

    It's pretty nice of the media to give ISIS exactly what it wants by circulation all of the beheading videos.

    I get freedom of the press, but let's not pretend that's why places are doing it. They're doing it because fear-mongering sells.

    Yep, that is Islam. That's what true followers of the Quran are instructed to do.
