You said the cockroaches cut off American's heads because of the prison abuse.

Daniel Pearl was beheaded before the prison abuse.


O wise one, I said Abu Ghraib was the excuse they needed. You seem to forget.......al Qa'ida is playing to two audiences.....American and Muslim.

For Americans, its to horrify us and frighten us;
For Muslims, its to show that they are strong and capable.

However, prior to Abu Ghraib, a beheading would not have played well among moderate Muslims. Abu Ghraib changed all that.

As for Perle, his beheading was in retaliation for our attack on Afghanistan. It did not play well in the Muslim world and that's why they have been rare since.

Again, Abu Ghraib has changed all that and they won't stop until the Muslim world says enough.

BTW, in the Koran, a beheading is only allowed when a person has gone through a trial, a religious one, and has been found guilty. Therefore, al Qa'ida is in violation of the Koran.
