Child beheaded in Moscow

[God of Mr. Hanky]

OK, update - from real new networks.

Moscow investigators consider the perp to be a schizophreniac.

Gulchekhra Bobokulova, a 38-year-old mother of three, replied "yes" when asked if she accepted her guilt.

Russian officials have said Bobokulova was suffering from mental health problems.

In other sources it's reported that she was sectioned in 2002.

However no links to Islamist group have since emerged. Officials have said she is mentally unstable, with reports suggesting the woman suffers from schizophrenia, a condition that is said to have deteriorated after her marriage broke down.

No surprise that she's mentally ill. There's also little to debate on religious ideas inspiring the horrific things which sociopaths and sick people do. But I believe there are two points of argument here which that doesn't address:

1. A certain type of barbarism was done by this woman which is has been unthinkable in non-Muslim cultures since the 17th Century, and is still practiced officially by legitimate Islamic governments, not just ISIS. Public beheadings are still done in Saudi Arabia, or they have been until very recently. Other unthinkable barbarities are practiced for certain by Islamic governments. This continues for no better reason than prevailing Islamic attitudes toward human life, regardless of the individual opinions of some Muslims.
   This woman was certainly inspired by the above.
2. Another recurring theme which Islam deserves the credit for is that nobody, not even little children are innocent. Islam and human empathy aren't famously compatible.
