Jesus Christ! You couldn't make shit like that up!

This is the kind of thing that should be opposed, not a blanket criticism of Islam in general. I suppose when general and unfair criticisms of a culture are made, things like this can get missed as people ignore those criticisms (what, you didn't think I was actually gonna start a thread criticising Islam in general did you?!)

Obviously, that is IF this is an honour killing (altho the detached head would suggest so)

that's the definition of ironic

Criticism against Islam in general notwithstanding, where would a respectable couple like that be conditioned to believe this is acceptable behavior?

What would make a seemingly normal domesticated man think the only course of action is to behead his wife? Did he learn these beliefs in temple? Was he raised with them?

The public is going to have questions and the frustration usually comes from a lack of voluntary explanation to outsiders of Islam.

Topic-wise, that TV station just got its ass kicked, literally. So much for that positive campaign ... they might as well shut down now, because everything that the station stood for and broadcasted has been shattered.

By the founder of the station itself! In a truly despicable way. Cant get any worse than that!

Damn good question

I can't offer you a complete answer because I just don't know

Obviously, his Islamic beliefs DO come into it and is the major factor here. Why did this person take it to a whole new level while other Muslims don't - I have no idea!
