What a stupid, thoughtless, idiotic comment to make.
Have you any idea what the families must be going through? Knowing that there are videos of their son's execution(s) going around on the net, and also knowing that they died in about the most horrific way possible.
Quite honestly, people like you have no consideration for other people's feelings or sensibilities.
And on a completely different topic, did anyone read that the murderers were shouting "Allah is great!" while they were killing that man? It brings me back to my own personal view that religion is the root of nearly every major problem and confict in the world. (WW1+WW2 notwithstanding).
September 11th
Execution of Daniel Berg - they believed they were doing God's work
Northern Ireland
Middle East
Crusades
... many more.
The only religion that I have any time for is Buddism - I like their view of the world and the fact that they don't try to force it on people. They also don't believe in an overall God, which puts them very much in my favour. I'm still an Atheist though.

Worth considering is the fact that al-Jazeera is the primary source of news for many Arabs. When they put a story on the front of their homepage that's based on the speculations of web bloggers, their lack of journalistic integrity is only exacerbated. Yet, this is what we have to deal with. It's a tabloid, covering an epic fairy tale with America as the villain.
