You say that you are not your brother's keeper. I say that it should be an insult to your honor when a proclaimed Muslim violates the codes of the Qur'an and claims it as his God-given right. It should violate your sense of decency when men are murdered and their bodies publicly disfigured and mutilated. And if it doesn't, then you allow others to think \"This is Islam.\"</b>This is very important. Why do many muslims not feel such rage about this? Or are they more silent in general, and then I have to ask why there as well?

Do you understand the outrage that came from American people over the soldiers mistreating the prisoners?? Those people are the shame of our country! I hope everyone that is involved gets what is coming to them! They have shamed the American military, when I wished to leave Iraq in a far better state than we found it.
When I read al Jazeera, I only see a 2 people say how bad this was and how it isn't Islam. I see 6 people saying how he deserved it.
50% of the people in the USA don't even support the Iraq war. I did, I do, and I have my reasons. Everyone of those reasons if good intentioned, despite many on here that disagree with it. None involve attacking islam or wanting oil. I don't know anyone else that supports the war that is looking for one of those two things either.
