are make-believe Muslims I wish they were, but they are not. You can be sure that copies of the tape of Pearl getting his throat slit will be enjoyed by terrorist groups all over the world.

precisely the same thinking in evidence when a Somali warlord had a US soldier's corpse dragged through the streets The Somali warlord got us out of Somalia, didn't he? We are still working to undo the lesson of that debacle. It says only that the perpetrators are make-believe Muslims that every sane human being can clearly see are brutal butchers I hope the rest of Islam starts delivering this message, because the perpetrators think they are fine Muslims, the only true Muslims in fact. They are doing a brisk business recruiting for jihad with such tapes -- not just in Muslim countries, but in Europe as well.
