The Beheading of Nicholas Berg

As everyone already knows from the news yesterday, a video posted on an al Qaeda-linked Web site showed the beheading of Nicholas Berg, a freelance communications worker from Pennsylvania, USA.

The Web site said the killing was carried out by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a top ally of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

I didn’t post about this yesterday even though it’s the first thing I read in the news, simply because I wanted it to move around in my head for a while before I do.

I think it’s very disturbing and wrong.

They’re painting this as an act of revenge for what was and is still being done to Iraqis, and that’s one cause that a lot of people will relate to, but still I don’t think they’ll agree with the manner it was done.

Islam is against such acts and strictly forbids them even in times of war, no matter what the circumstances are.
Islam teaches people to treat hostages and prisoners of war humanely and with dignity and respect, and that’s a long time before the Geneva conventions ever existed.

I think that the anger and resistance are justified but that acts of beheading and mutilation are so wrong and unjustified no matter what.

  1. And of course once again the acts of a few sadists hiding behind patriotism and religion will reflect rather badly on Muslims around the world. By the way, why would someone be masked and still be named? Doesn’t really make sense. Could it possibly be because he doesn’t look a bit like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi?

  2. True. Which is so bad.
    These people are giving Islam a bad name, when they actually have nothing to do with Islam or it’s teachings.

    As for the whole thing about the hood, well yes, it’s weird, and I’m sure that it’s a lie that the person who did it is Al Zarqawi himself.
    Because if he wanted people to know it was him, why wear a hood and then say it was him? What’s the point?

    Here we also enter a whole conspiracy theory realm.
    I even read someone ramble on craigslist that he thinks that it’s obvious the whole video is fake.
    I didn’t see the video, I don’t want to and I won’t comment on that thought.
    All I know is that whatever the truth is, we’ll never know, unless “THEY” want us to.

  3. When does this insanity stop? What does the united states and iraq expect to accomplish? There lust for bloodshed? There desire to kill one another? There willingness to include in their battle innocent people?

    Nicholas berg is one of the many innocent American people that got caught in the crossfire. There are many innocent Iraq people just like americans that are being killed and are also caught in the crossfire.

    Its total bullshit that this wasn’t a response to the abuse of iraq prisoners that we have all seen. I hear some people say, yes but they only humiliated the iraq prisoners! Really! If any of the ignorant would take the time to just for a breif moment put yourself in there shoes like the disgusting photo of them nude and forced to form a pyramid, with a ciggarette swagging women and men, taken photos out of profound and absolute glee, that they did this. Well lets just say it would be enough to provoke a response from iraq rebels. Does anyone really like being humilated?

    Should American military soldiers who are said to be trained to the highest degree resort to abuse of other human beings?

    Nick Berg did not deserve to die the way he did, nor did the other innocent americans and iraq derserve to die the way they did.

    It is about time each side puts down their weapons and negotiate, to stop this bloody battle. It has gotten neither country anywhere and it will not get either side anywhere. If the people who run our countries can’t negotiate then I have a great suggestion, lets round up the bush office and the iraq terroists, bring them to an island, that they can’t get off of, give them all the weapons and warfare they need, then leave them to their own devices so they can kill each other off! This way all the innocent americans and iraq’s will be left alone and FREE to pick up the pieces and negotiate with others without the looming threat of WAR!

    Oh but wait, I am willing to bet that if we did round them up and left them to kill each other, we could go back in a year and they would all be alive, because in reality its sooooooooo easy to give orders to kill others but the chessy bigwigs of the higest of hierarchy’s DON’T WANT TO DIE THEMSELVES, NO THEY WANT TO LIVE. SO NOW BUSH AND THE IRAQ FREAK TERROISTS LET ALL OF US INNOCENT FOLKS LIVE!!!!!!!!

    Just had to say it!

  4. Yeah right! Berg was saying to himself “Islam is a religion of peace” over and over again as he felt the cold steel cutting into his skin deeper and deeper. Islam is a religion of peace when you are in the minority, and if their founder, Mohammed was a man of peace. Read the life story of him and judge for yourself. Now read the lifestory of Jesus and see whether you believe when he said, “My peace I leave with you.” Did Jesus ever murder anyone as Mohammed did? The defenders of Islam keep telling us that the sky is green eventhough we keep seeing it as blue. They keep telling us, “Are you going to believe us or your lying eyes?” We all know that Muslims prefer to live in the West, where Christianity has flourished because Islam in their countries has produced nothing but poverty, war, circumcision and abuse of women, ignorance and graphic violence. You blind people. If you want Islam here, first investigate what it has done for their countries and their people and ask, “Why have millions escaped from their Islam countries to the West, whose countries were founded by Christianity?” Is their god Allah or the Allmightydolla (dollar)?” If you love Islam so much, put on your white pajamas or your burka and go surround yourself with people who believe like you because people like to live with the things they love, otherwise you are a hypocrite, because you prefer to live where you can make the American dollar. Actions speak louder than words and we can see that Islam is a religion of peace–pieces of human beings blown up and cut out with knives. We are not stupid so go tell some other idiots your religion of peacc lies.

  6. I won’t really go into a full discussion about Islam with you, especially that you’re very ignorant and obviously know nothing about it.

    But what I’m going to say is that just because a country says it’s a muslim country, or a person says they are a muslim, it doesn’t mean that they’re truly following the teachings of Islam.
    In fact, all the problems we see in the Islamic and Arab world are because the people and countries have strayed from true Islam.

    If you really knew the Prophet Mohamed’s life story, you wouldn’t even mention it because of his peacefulness.

    And for your information, I live in the Arab world, in Tunisia, my country and I’m very happy.

    In the end, all I have to say is: check your facts and learn about true Islam, it’s real teachings and it’s history and then you can talk about it.
    Don’t base your meaningless words on lies and bullshit you hear from the media or from a bunch of ignorants.

  7. Mohammed was a madman and a liar, rapist, pedophile and hypocrite….If you want to see the truth abouth the disgusting excuse for a religion that is called “Islam” go to prophetofdoom.net. Moslems are the most dogmatic and blind people on the planet (even worse than fundamentalist Christians). Islam is a poison and pox to this planet and must be exterminated in order for these misguided fools to be released from their ignorant/logic defying mental and spiritual paralysis. I’m not advocating and religion over another…..But Islam is not a religion, it’s a cult, a poison and a ridiculous excuse for a faith. It’s very nature defies logic and goes beyond to glorify murder, torture, rape, terror and all things that are most base and evil in nature. Don’t start getting all crazy because I’ve written these things…..They’re true….visit the above website and see for yourself. Mohammed is the prophet of doom.

    By the way the Nicholas Berg video was set up by the Bush administration or it’s cronies to take pressure off the abuse of the Iraqi prisoners that were raped, tortured and mistreated. It may or may not be a fake…it’s seriously disturbing!!!! but it’s overedited, overpolished and just not the work of the guys the Gov’t’s pointing to. Look into the story, Nicholas Berg was a scumbag and terrorist suspect. He was turned over to these “so called terrorists” (More likely “DEFENSE CONTRACTORS”) by our people/forces and slaughtered to combat Bush’s embarassment.

    I’m just stating an opinion. Flame me if you will. Check out the execution at Ogrish.com and definitely go to prophetofdoom.net to find out the truth about Islam.

  8. And you go learn some manners and respect.

    I can come up with a million sites that flame any religion or person you choose, that’s the kind of bullshit we have on the internet.
    But rational and intelligent people tend to look for true moderate and logical sources of information to base their opinions and ideas on.

    Until you learn to do that, neither I nor anyone with a brain is interested in what you have to say.

  9. If we as a race strip ourselves of religion, of race, of sex, what is left? We are all made of the same thing. We all have a heart, a brain, our blood is blue, when we are cut we all bleed red, we breath with our lungs, we are all made of skin and bones, we are a human race. I believe that we as a human race have become so far removed from our race that we no longer accept responsiblity for our actions. We finger point and blame every one under the sun and above. Imagine what the world would be like if we as a human race poured all our energy into being responsible for our own actions and stop hiding behind everything else? Peace can not be found with the blood of our human race. Peace can not be found through religion. Peace can only be found when as a human race we take responsiblity for our own actions. When we realize that then perhaps we can achieve peace.

  10. Where is the outcry from the governments of these muslim countries? If this religion of peace is overwhelmingly supported and practiced by lovers of mankind where is their outrage? Convince the world that Islam is truly a moral and righteous religion with your deeds, not your rhetoric. If there were a sect in the United States whose members murdered innocent civilians, our government would work to root them out and prosecute them for their crimes. Believe it. The governments of the Islamist nations, on the other hand, are universally fearful of the practitioners of their own faith and therefore do nothing. They make little or no comment other than the obligatory “we don’t believe in that sort of thing” generic dribble in the face of the ghastly crimes committed in Islams name. Where are the billions of “mainstream” muslims who do not believe in this sordid barbarianism. Why are they not demonstrating by the thousands, defending the credibility and dignity of their faith? Are they nowhere to be found because they do not exist? Or are they afraid of the zealots who exploit their religion on the world stage? We have been hearing, since long before 9-11, that Islam is a peaceful and beautiful religion…..SHOW US! It is getting more and more difficult to believe when the billions are mute and sit idly by while those claiming to be their bretheren commit these atrocities. In these times Muslims, you don’t need to defend yourselves from Christians. You need to defend yourselves from yourselves, meaning those who long ago hi-jacked your faith. Until you do, your credibility is lost.

  11. Uh, the government leaders have denounced the beheading…you should check your facts. BUT it was not the government that did this. It was EXTREMIST – TERRORIST, you know, kinda like Timothy McVeigh! And besides, WE are now in the position of authority in Iraq and we ARE the government there, so who in Iraq in ther goverment will denounce this? Also, how the hell did WE allow this to happen? We had Berg in custody! This happened in an area that we occupy – right near Bagdad- so how did this happen on our watch? We obviously are letting crazy extremist, make that terrorists, run around freely kidnapping Americans. Why weren’t we looking for Berg? He was right under our noses.

    You who condemn the Muslims are like the Muslims who condemn all Americans for the abuse of the prisoners. LIke Bush said…(when it applied to us, that is) that you can’t judge all Americans by these few. Of course, he turned that around and said that we should judge the entire people over there by the few that killed Berg. So, are you like the Americans who abused the prisoners? And if not, then all Muslims are not like Al Zarqawi. If you use logic, then you know you can’t have it both ways, or then you’re prejudice and racist and ignorant. You as bad as Al Zarqawi yourself for spreading hate and being an extremist.

  12. I fear for our future. When such people rely on the bullshit that is written on HATE SITES, it really scares me.

  13. as the person who wrote the article stated,there is no justification for such acts,everyone has the right to thier own feelings,but taking the law into your own hands and doing this to a fellow human being!!!is disgusting!

    but my question to you guys is this,yes it gived islam a bad name,but id like to know why its so commonly found in islam?”not all muslims are terrorists.but most terrorists are muslim?”what is happening in the arab world?that they produce these types of animals?

    the UN has stated that there are 54 world conflicts and 43 involve muslims,and all these muslims are using the exact same method to kill.

    and when i hear the word “moderate” arab nations i must chuckle to myself,these nations are the nations that allow anti semetic carttons to apear all over their news papers,these nations enoucrage hate against the usa,these are moderate?

    i think the islamic world should stop blaming everyone for thier problems and actually try and fix them themselves,but ofcourse in effective leadership will always stand in there way.

  14. could anyone give me the address of the site that posted the video of the beheading of nicholas berg.
    Thanks
    zino

  15. Do you see the kind of person you are?! Unfortunately, there are so many people like yourself, Anti-Muslim. How dare you make all Muslims take responsibility for actions that they too do not approve of! Until you realize that not all Muslims are to blame for all the violence, we’ll never find peace. Stop pointing your gawd damn finger and realize that BOTH sides are to blame. You criticize about Anti-Semitism when you yourself are the same BS, but just Anti-Muslim.

  16. I would like to take this time to tell the world that we must put GOD back in or things like this will be the norm…
    I have several friends that their children are over there and for somebody to say they are wasting their time really irritates me. They risk their lives so that we dont have to live like those people and nobody cares?
    GOD BLESS AMERICA–
    shouldnt it be…
    AMERICA BLESS GOD?

  17. **rolls eyes** Okay, I’m not going to even start with the whole God Bless America thing.

    I greatly appreciate all those in the armed forces who are trained to defend our country. These are real men and women who are willing to die for our nation. Without them, our country would be weak and be in constant danger.

    My question is, is this cause worth their lives? The country initially approved of sending troops over there because Colin Powell and other members of the government did a good job convincing us that our lives were in imminent danger because of the weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was secretly building. Sending our troops there because of that would definitely constitute as defending our country. But it was all lies. ZERO weapons of mass destruction, just like what the inspectors said.

    You speak of the men and women of the armed forces defending us so that we don’t have to live like those people. I had no idea we were at risk! So if our men and women had not gone over there, how is it that America would’ve gone into great poverty and be living under a dictatorship?

    My point is, I want Americans home. There has been enough death and destruction on both sides. I’m tired of hearing the number of Americans dying or the number of Iraqis killed. Like the Vietnam War, we’re losing sight of the real goal. PEACE. I only want America in it if we get the help from other countries and definitely from the UN. This war cannot be as righteous as it seems if countries are not supporting us. For example, France and Spain do not support us. You think France and Spain have something against peace? Of course not! They would help if they felt if was the right thing to do. But without a real post-war plan and even a clear reason for the war, who would want to bring their men and women to war? They don’t want their men and women to die without good reason. Apparently, Bush and his administation think our men and women are disposable.

  18. this comment is for MOHAMEDISTMONKEY:first i would like to say that i am disgusted with you for using my prophets name in vain. Second thing i would like to say is that i cant not believe that you can sit there and bash a holy and honored man becuase of what you read on some stupid website which was probably made by some ignorant person who didnt bother to correctly look up information about Islam, because if he did then he would of realized that Islam is a religion of peace.

  19. this next comment is for Truth: all I WANT TO SAY IS THAT THERE ARE BILLIONS OF ISLAM BELIEVERS OUT THERE INCLUDING ME AND WE ARE TRYING TO SPEAK OUT BUT NO ONE WILL HEAR US. YOU SAY YOU WANT US TO SHOW THAT WE’RE A RELIGION OF PEACE BUT HOW CAN WE DO THAT IF YOUR EYES ARE CLOSED!! EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT READ ABOUT ISLAM FROM A GREAT SOURCE ALREADY HAS THEIR OWN VIEW ABOUT US AND THEY DONT CARE TO CAHNGE THEM, I HOPE YOU’LL UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SHOW PEOPLE BUT UNFORTUNATLEY WE ARE DOWN SIZED BUT PEOPLE THAT I LIKE TO CALL “ISLAM WANNABES” AND THEIR DISGUSTING ACTIONS.

  20. ISLAM = PURE EVIL YEAH WE EMBARASED SOME MUSLIMS. SO WHAT !!!! I ASK YOU HOW MANY AMERICANS HAVE DIED IN THE NAME OF ISLAM !!! I REMEMBER 238 MARRINES DYING IN LEBANON AT THJE HANDS OF MUSLIMS 52 HOSTAGES IN IRAN-17 ON USS COAL OVER 100 ON PAN AM 103 3800 AMERICANS ON 9/11/01 YALL REMEMBER ANY OF THAT. PEACEFULL RELIGION MY ASS. THE KJV BIBLE SAYS AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. IM NOT THAT RELIGIOUS OF A PERSON BUT I SAY WE GIVE THEM THE PEACE THEY CONSTANTLY HAVE SHOWED US. ONLY GIVE THEM TEN TIMES TEN BACK THE PUNISHMENT OUR SOILDERS HAVE ENDURED OVER THE YEARS. WE SHOULD NOT REBUILD ANYTHING OVER THERE EXECEPT MAYBE SOME MASS GRAVES FOR THOSE PEACEFULL MUSSLIMS

  21. I know I sound harsh and uncaring. Im not anti-Jew or entirly anti-anybody. But everytime one of my brothers or sisters is killed in action or inocent Americans die it pisses me off. I served in the army 12 yrs. Wish I could be in Iraq now. I just wander how many people in the world have died in the name of God. Alla,Jehova,Yaway OR God almighty is all sopsed to be the same god. Is that corect or not. All I know is what Jesus said when one of his deciples ask what the most important comandment was and he said to love thy neibor as thyself. that is hard for me to follow when muslums behead an american. Ask John McCain if embarasment was what he received in Vietnam He would probably say that was a good day

  22. I dont think we should send one more cent to Iraq or Isrial. That why the Arabs hate us so much. I think its time the jews stood on there on feet and fight there on battles. All them billions we sent to Iraq and everywhere else over seas. sure could lower the price of gas right here. Or help feed and cloth some people here. Come up with a plan to send the top ten percent in high school to medical school to practice generic medicine. Pay all there schooling. and living expences so they pracvtice in the area they grow up in for five years. Sighn a waver that you will not sue for malpractice. and give them meds that is going to expire a couple of months before they do. I was a medic in the army and we dumped thousands of antibiotics we never used and other expensive drugs because they had expired. pay these new docs 25k 1st yr plus room and bord 2cd yr 35k 3rd 45k 4th 55k 5th 80k only charge patients 20 bucks a visit and only use older ct scaners xrays ect and all generic meds. Shut down our borders Shoot them if they try to enter illeagly thow out all non-Americans allready here. Bring all our guys home except to guard the pipelines in Iraq God knows we have paid for them. Tax the hell out of imports. Start making fuel out of corn and hidrogen. AND FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE except for canada,England,Austrailia and maybe mexico. Leaglize pot everywhere play bevus and buthead all across the world and maybe we wont fight anymore

  23. EVERYONE IS TALKIN CRAP ABOUT MUSLIMS. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WRONG? MUSLIMS IN PALESTINE ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LAND THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM JEWISH ASSHOLES. MUSLIMS IN IRAQ ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR FREEDOM FROM AMERICAN ASSHOLES. I WUDN’T JUDGE EVERYBODY THE SAME BUT SINCE AMERICANS ARE JUDGING MUSLIMS LIKE THAT, SO THEN I SHUD JUDGE JEWS AND AMERICANS LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE THAT 9/11 WAS SET UP BY BUSH AND THE JEWS. WHO CUD TAKE OVER THE PLANE WITH BOX CUTTERS. ITS NOT LIKE THE WHOLE PLANE WAS FILLED WITH LADIES. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO HAPPEN WHEN BUSH IS BARELY IN THE ADMINISTRATION AND NOW THE WAR WITH IRAQ. LIKE FATHER LIKE SON. THE LITTLE BUSH IS LISTENING TO WHAT EVER HIS FATHER TELLS HIM. THEY BOTH WANT THE OIL IN IRAQ AND WANT TO KILL ALL THE MUSLIMS OFF BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I FEEL BAD WHAT HAPPENED TO NICHOLAS BERG BUT WHEN I HEAR THAT 14-22 YEAR OLD GIRLS IRAQI GIRLS GETTING RAPED BY AMERICAN SOLDIERS THEN I AM HAPPY TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO AMERICANS. TO END OFF I BELIEVE THAT IF AMERICANS DONT GET OUT OF IRAQ BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, THEN THIS GENERATION MIGHT SEE THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED IN VIETNAM OR WORSER. JOHN NORWOOD AND OTHER NON-MUSLIM BELIEVERS: GO FUCK YOUR SELVES AND I KNOW THAT MOST AMERICANS WON’T NEVER FORGET THESE NEXT TO WORDS- ALLAHU AKBAR.

  24. AS I SAID BEFORE I REALLY FEEL BAD ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO NICHOLAS BERG. HE DIDN’T DESERVE TO DIE. THERE IS A SAYING IN THE QURAN THAT SAYS WHEN AN ENEMY DROPS HIS WEAPONS DONT KILL THAT ENEMY. ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND THE RELIGION OF ISLAM AND THATS THE REASON WHY ALOT OF PEOPLE HATE MUSLIMS. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE FAMILY OF NICHOLAS BERG. HOPE THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN BUT THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS HAVE MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED AND IT IS BECAUSE THERE WAS 24 AMERICAN SOLDIERS RAPING ONE 18 YEAR OLD IRAQI GIRL AND THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A RELATIVE OF THE KILLERS OR ALSO THE PRISON ABUSE BUT HE SHUD HAVE NOT BEEN KILLED THAT WAY. I HOPE THAT THE EXECUTERS OF NICHOLAS BERG WUD BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE BECAUSE IN OUR RELIGION, THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE. AS I SAID BEFORE, AMERICA NEEDS TO GET OUT OF IRAQ BEFORE RESULTS END UP HAPPENING LIKE IN VIETNAM AND JOHN NORWOOD- GO FUCK URSELF.

  25. I do not think that anyone deserves to die . No one has the right to take another persons life. GOD HAS THAT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have all people in my prayes.

  26. I have such remorse and heartache for the both men beheaded from today to last week. I’am just wondering that if we knew where they were, why we didn’t go in after them or offer this something to give our men back.
    But oh no, Bush is too worried about his running for president. The Iragi Terrorist I beleive were the fat american soldiars that beheaded them. No islamic is pudgy and puts their prisoners in orange jumpsuits. What crock…
    May God be with them.

  27. This is actually kind of humorous. I read a lot of comments that obviously were written by people who have nothing better to do than dwell in their self ingorance. While some were very interesting, others were written in their own “cave-man-code” dialect. Perhaps thay didn’t have an original opinion, so they just decided to ram some words together. You can all pretend to know exactly what is going on in every aspect of the American Government if you like, that doesn’t make less of an idiot. Pointing the finger, sure, it’s ideal for adolescent morons, but it won’t help you cope with, or understand the situation. Rule of thumb, if you have nothing of value to contribute to a “comment section”, it’s best to be quiet and try to learn from those with the facts. In short, leave educated guesses up to those who are,,,,,,,, educated!

  28. When 2 disagrees, war starts all over again. When 2 agrees, you have peace. Wouldn’t you agree? Ok, lets face it, we’re all born broken. Everyone has their own opinion, everyone has their own choices. War will never end, the possibilities of the world agreeing is pretty impossible. Let them argue and fight to see who gets the last say so. As for us, let us praise the name of Jesus! He is alive! Everything else has died and will continue to die. It is a priviledge to Live not a Right, don’t forget it.

  29. AS A WHITE RIGHT WING UK ENGLISH PATRIOT I CAN SYMPATHISE WITH BELEIVE IT OR NOT PALESTINIAN STRUGGLE IF ISRAEL/BUSH STOPPED KILLING AND MAIMING PALESTINIANS AND THREW SOME MONEY AT THE PROBLEM EG HOUSING FOOD BENEFIT ;LAND IE WEST BANK GAZA STRIP AND TRIED TO APPEASE THE ENEMY!!!?? THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TERRORISM THERE WOULD BE NO CAUSE!!! IF THEY SPENT HALF OF THE WAR BUDGET ON PEACEFULL REBUILDING AND CALLED THE JEWS INTO LINE THE WORLD WOULD NOT BE THREATENED BY INTERNATIONAL TERROR WHICH BY THE WAY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION LEAVE THAT OUT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD WE MAY CALL HIM BY DIFFERENT NAMES IN DIFFERENT WAYS BUT THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ONLY THOSE TWO TYPES NO OTHERS BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER IT S LATER THAN YOU THINK ,,,,,, OLD NICK

  30. When are we considered good people? When we do good acts? So really, its our own action that decides between good and bad people and even bad people can do good acts to their own kind. Good people does good all the time for their community and turns out to be child molesters. So how do you justify that? What I’m really trying to say is, if you think you’re a good person, you’d better think twice! There are more to it than good and bad people in this world. Go ahead! Try to correct everyone with your righteous deeds to define good and bad people. The last I checked in history only One has ever rose from the Dead! We’re all going to die man. Face it, your efforts of Right over Wrong is in vain. (you’re swimming in a pool of liars, murdurers, thieves, and all sorts of conspiracies) Go ahead Einstein figure it out for yourself, How Do you conquer Death? (by the way, this isn’t about religion, it’s about life- we live to Die and that is our whole problem in life)

  31. i thank that someone with higher authority should take action,and bring all of our people home and nuke the shit out of the basterds why give them what they want,there a waste of time after 9-11 and all those people and children that died.they did not care about taking someone’s child away or father and mother .

  32. I agree Nicks killing and all the others were not right, but why did Bush and Blair get involved in Iraq anyway. Bush only wanted to invade Iraq for oil.Nick Bergs killing was inhumane.

  33. I agree that not all people who practice and believe in Islam are bad, however it has to be said that there are some extremists out there who love to twist their religion and its as if they are forcing the world to believe what they believe. I dont hate Muslims, or Islams, rather i just disagree with their beliefs as i am a Christian. I wont comment on whether Bush and Blair shouldve went to Iraq or not, i wont comment on the killings of other people. But one thing i will say is that God is in control, if this war was his will then we cant stop it. You may say why does a just christian God want a war. I dont know, Im not God. But i do know that God said in the bible, that ALL things work together for good, for those who love God. We may not understand the weird and complex ways of this world. We may not understand the wars and the killings that go on. Thats because we dont have minds as God. Im telling you no one can change this world. Its stinking, its getting worse and worse every day. No politician, no governor, no president, can change this world, only Jesus can. Mark my words,the day will come when Jesus will come back to earth…..then all will be well……

  34. well..i was born a catholic but converted to Coptic Orthodox..and my best friend is a muslim..we had a discussion about religion and since i used to be a Wiccan, i was planning 2 do black magik on all terrorists and shit..but n e way..wut happened 2 nick was totaly not right..but i honestly cannot look @ muslims the same n e more after i watched tht video..and the fact tht i have Schizophrenia, and Bipolar and im only 14 years old, it wasnt the worst thing i could ever do in my life..its the biggest sin 2 take ur life or sum1eleses..so fuck all the ppl who r on the terrorists side!! and fuck u Bush!! Even though im a arab american chk from Jordan..Im not Muslim!! !!! peace out mutha fuckaz!!

  35. Yet another innocent man has been murdered…and I fear that that britton will die……and so will the next bunch of hostages, and then the next bunch of hostages, and so on and so on..

    I think these people in Iraq or whatever should have micro transmitters injected into them so we can hone in on their location and stop these mad men before they cause more death.

    Its like in Mexico….kidnappers will demand a ransom (say $20,0000) and even when the ransom is paid. They kill the hostage anyhow.

    This world has gone to hell, and its all humanitys fault for fucking around with their views on existance and what they think is right

  36. Yet another innocent man has been murdered…and I fear that that britton will die……and so will the next bunch of hostages, and then the next bunch of hostages, and so on and so on..

    I think these people in Iraq or whatever should have micro transmitters injected into them so we can hone in on their location and stop these mad men who kidnap them before they cause more death and trauma.

    Sheesh! humans enjoy all the killing, and do NOT give me that ‘for the cause’ crap…..every time murder is done its always for a cause..but what cause?!?! a cause that SOME want, but most others want to just exist.

    Its like in Mexico….kidnappers will demand a ransom (say $20,0000) and even when the ransom is paid. They kill the hostage anyhow.

    If mohummad truely is a kind man. then he is VERY pissed off and saddened to see his religion being used as a weapon…and so is Jesus….both are steaming with fury at humans insanity…and I do not beleive in satan…thats a pathetic excuse for taking the blame off ourselves and accusing him for all evils….hehe, I bet hes a good guy and is being victimized by us as a scapegoat.

    This world has gone to hell, and its all humanitys fault for fucking around with their views on existance and what they think is right and who is good or evil in their narrow minded minds.

    Peace be to all of you

  37. NOOOO! they murdered the british hostage.

    Al Zarqawi……You will +PAY+ for that with your blood! And do not think for one nano-second that you’re going to paradise with 72 virgins….You are going to the void of nothingness as a Wraith slave of your own hellish creation.

    May god turn his back on you and leave you to rot Al Zarqawi!!! CURSE YOU TO HELL!!!!!!

  38. Hey YOU, muslim boy/girl “MMM”….Dont get narky with us…your culture has been corrupted badly by these fuckers (same as christian/catholics have corrupted their culture and get hostile at every tiny thing like star wars or harry potter or medicine or feminism or lord of the rings or so on…I know ‘born again chirstians’ do, they have a shitty book called ‘the great deception’ read it and laugh at their idiocy)…when we say ‘kill them’ we mean the killers, not all of you muslims as thats murder.

    I find it impossible to forgive islam for murdering people like that….how can I call Isman ‘peacefull’ when its been nothing but violence ever since it started….All we ever hear is war, war, oppression, murder, kill your family who date someone not muslim, kill, kill, world destruction, kill everyone, kill kill, and more killing.

    I just watched the video of the recent beheading of American civil engineer Eugene Armstrong on ogrish.com.

    Can we get the Islamic extremists some guillotines already? These beheadings are fucking gnarly.

    People who haven’t watched the beheading videos, which made their debut with the decapitation of Nick Berg in May, probably think that they’re using large knives to behead people, but they’re not. They’re not even using what appear to be machete-sized knives.

    In the typical beheading video, first the executioner cuts the victim’s throat and then proceeds to saw his head off. (The executioner has to saw the victim’s head off because the knives are a lot smaller than the knives you’d think one would use to decapitate someone.) Very disturbingly, the victim has at least a few seconds of awareness as he is being decapitated. Then, when he is finally done sawing back and forth with the knife, the executioner or one of his accomplices holds the severed head up for the camera and then places the head on top of the newly decapitated victim’s back.

    It’s fucking gross and disturbing. (And the sequence is predictable, like the sequence of a porn flick: First the oral sex, then the intercourse, then the cumshot.)

    Of course, the beheading videos are supposed to be shocking. But still, if you’re going to cut someone’s head off, why not do it quickly?

    Anyway, the Armstrong beheading video might have outdone the Berg beheading video. It’s certainly a lot bloodier. But I have to wonder if they edited in some or most or all of ghastly sound effects, as it seems that Armstrong makes the blood-curdling noises for a longer period of time than he would be able to, given the progression of his beheading.

    Oh, I’m sorry — does all of this bother you?

    Hey, after “President” Dumbfuck, who lost to Al Gore by more than a half-million votes in November 2000, was installed by a 5 (Republican)-to-4 (Democrat) vote of the U.S. Supreme Court, I at least registered my protest of the coup d’etat with the Universe when I participated in the “Not My President’s Day Rally” at the California State Capitol in January 2001. (How did you respond to the largest blow to our democracy in our lifetime?) I knew immediately that George W. Bush would be bad news. I mean, steal a fucking presidential election and how much better can it get from there?

    Another four years of George W. Bush and we’ll have a steady supply of beheading videos coming out of Iraq, especially as the Bush regime promises to “stay the course.” Decapitation videos, as well as general death and destruction, seem to be the No. 1 industry in George W. Bush’s postwar Iraq.

    So the least we could do is supply Iraq with some guillotines so that something could go smoothly in Iraq.

    P.S. The nastiest beheading video that I’ve seen, I think, is that of the poor Nepalese guy. I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not, but the executioner seems to stop at midpoint while the guy is still alive and it’s pretty fucking disturbing. All of the beheading videos, plus plenty of other sick shit, is at ogrish.com, which, if you visit it, will remind you that you are quite mortal.

  39. NOOOO! they murdered the british hostage. Even after many many muslims begged them to free the innocent fellow…Even Arafat demanded in Allahs name to free the fellow…..you KILLED HIM! This means you dont worship Ahhah Abu Al zarqawi…you demon!

    Abu Al Zarqawi……You will *PAY* for that with your blood! And do not think for one fucking nano-second that you’re going to paradise with 72 virgins….No way you goat-Herding bastard! You are going to the inky black humid void of nothingness as a Wraith slave of your own hellish creation.

    May god turn his back on you and leave you to rot in the terrible powers of the dark lord Sauron, Abu Al Zarqawi!!! CURSE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! CURSE YOU TO HELL!!!!!!
