Not the fact that a couple of Islamises martyred a 25 year old British Soldier out of hate - but the fact that they desecrated the corpse as well. If they were truly genuine in their reasons for brutally killing the soldier - then why did the desecrate the corpse??? What role does it have to play in war? None, that's what.
BBC news item
For those who don't know, a man was beheaded in Woolwich, London, UK in what appears to be a religio-political killing by Islamic extremists. One of the killers gave an 'interview' immediately after the killing and the video has been widely distributed (see the link).This has sparked widespread anti-islamic sentiment across the UK resulting in demonstrations by right-wing groups and counter-demonstrations by pro-islamic and human-rights groups. In the meantime, muslims across the UK (especially London) appear to be in fear of reprisals, although none have been reported yet.
For me, I'm sickened both by the killing and the bigotry.
When I first heard this news, the first words out of my mouth was "fucking Islamics". It wasn't reported at that time that the perpetrators were Islamic - but it's fucking obvious. Their entire world - the entire Middle East - is disgusting, they infiltrate western cultures, don't respect the cultures they're integrated into, and then carry out terrorist activity. In my opinion - the freedom of religion notwithstanding - Islam should be Illegal. It should be declared legally to be a criminal organization.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
