I came across a website and they had posted videos of Iraqi people (I guess Muslim, too) who were beheading people.. I know not all people in this world are bad, but how could someone sit by and participate in something like that?
I've wondered if they have a conscience at all, and if they're only participating in that because they're afraid that it will happen to them or their families?
I know they do it because of their religion or whatever, but when one of them is on their death bed, don't you think they cry out to God, asking for His help?

I'm not passing judgement on them, but it's commone sense for everyone to know what's right and wrong..
I'm just wondering if they feel bad for what they do - Not all of them agree with that religion, so there must be some who know it's wrong to kill people like that - Do you think they do it because they're scared?

Hatred is the light that blinds us all. When it does, we are only able to see in one light, and that is whatever we do is right, even to the extent of murdering innocent lives. In that moment, conscience flees.
But I'd like to point out one thing: if they have religion, of if they do observe the religion as it was put down before them properly, they would not commit such atrocities. They did not do it out of religion. Their religion is hatred, and no religion preaches hatred. Therefore theirs is not a religion. What they follow are human manipulations of the religion.
No matter what religion you observe - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism - none of them tells you to kill in the name of it. But do it in order to protect yourself, your family and your nation. Because what is yours, is yours, and if someone were to simply sashay in and take it away, you have the right to fight for it.
As for your last question, even if they do, we would never know. That's their business with God, or if God replies to their dying calls. We have no way of knowing. Only th dead knows, and since they do not come back, we will never know.

The terrorists that commit their acts of wickedness based on religious convictions have clouded, distorted values. Their moral compasses are broken, and they don't know how far they are from the truth. Scary thing is, any religious person can easily stumble into a mindset of self-righteousness, and that's where pride, the worst source of sin, will manifest itself. The terrorists have a sense of conscience, but it is corrupted and flawed. They are not robots that can't help what they are doing (and even if they were robots lacking self-control, we would still have to fight them).

That is probably the way they have been raised. If you see something enough, you get desensitized. It happens everywhere. Have you turned on your TV lately? Some may feel it's wrong, but are afraid of their families being hurt. They most likely cry out for whichever God they believe in.

Honey when something really bad happens we all call for God and our Mama's. They think that they are doing something for a good cause like when they send their kids to die with a backpack full of bombs on them into a town. They are dumb and have no common sense. They all have a sense of fear in them but if they all just changed religions then they wouldn't have anything to fear.

Yes, I think they have a conscience. Their thoughts have been twisted by the devil. What is wrong will become right. What is evil will be looked on as good in most people's mind, near the end of days.

A conscience is only applicable if you are of the belief that what you are doing is wrong. If, in your heart you believe what you do is justified, then there probably won't be a twinge of conscience to worry about.

DO Our Own Leaders Have A Conscience ?

Murdering people has nothing to do with any religion. It is a political movement which feeds on the ignorant and oppressed, misleading them with false doctrines and promises of eternal paradise after they commit atrocities.

I can't believe people do that either. They are a wretched people and will feel God's wrath when the time comes. They have no conscience and are barbaric.

I think the people doing such things have killed their conscience. It is possible to do that, it just takes enough "crossing" of the moral barrier, and your conscience will shut up!
