Sarika, i understand one part of your answer in regards to the butchering of innocent lives, but conquering a nation that is a threat to US, that isn't particularly wrong to stop a country that is threatening us. Since 9/11 we have not had any more attacks of this nature, surely you are grateful for that, right? I'm not sure I agree with us still being there, or even why we went in the first place, but if it keeps the terrorists at bay evn a little not just for US but for the whole world, then may be it is good.

Diya, wow, you think those beheadings were painless???? wow, you must not have viewed the videos where they showed them cutting off the heads. It was HORRIBLE!! the sound was disgusting and it wasn't quick, they started at the back of the neck with a small knife and sawed through the neck, disgusting!!!!!!!!

It gets people p----d off at them. I suppose that the kidnappers think that they are accomplishing jihad and thus securing themselves a place in heaven.

I believe that these people don't really know about Islam. They think that they are doing Jihad and will go to Heaven if they kill non-Islams. What they forget is that Islam says that the killing of one individual is the same as killing the whole of humanity. Also It says in the Holy Quran that ''For you is your religion and for me is my religion''. If God has given people the freedom to choose their own religion and practise it in peace,why can't they do the same?
Maybe they also want revenge from non-Muslims like Bush who are bent upon killing innocent Muslims. As far is beheading prisoners is concerned,it seems very gruesome but it is very painless I think.
What these Jihadis fail to understand is that by doing such acts of violence,they are not furthering their cause. But I guess they don't think there is anything wrong with what they do because they don't know about Islam. In Islam,even in war,there are rules and one of them is not being unfair or attacking innocent people. I wish all Muslims would understand this.Amen!
P.S. Thank God that I haven't watched any of these videos. What I wanted to say was that perhaps they use beheading because it might be quick or painless.Beheading is used as the means of death penalty in Saudi Arabia while hanging is used in Pakistan. Islam says that even animals are supposed to be sacrificed in such a way so as to cause them minimum pain. So I thought that perhaps it was painless because Saudi Arab used it. I certainly didn't mean to imply that I thought that these kidnappers had any mercy or pity.

how does attacking and conquering some country for the reasons of being threat to usa and butchering innocent lives accomplish anything too ?

Works very well to keeping freelancing contractors out of Iraq, and might one government have it done to chop off protesters.

It is difficult to follow the thought processes of any of those people.
