Honestly, I don't think race or religion makes much of a difference.

A question....
Why is it, if a muslim removes someones head it's called a beheading, however if anyone else does it, especially white males, it is reported that they decapitated someone?
I just did a Google search for "man decapitates wife", and all of the stories, at least on the first page report the decapitation of the victim.
Could it be a way of getting the word "beheading" ingrained in the publics mind as something only the muslim terrorist does? I mean we mainly hear about beheadings when done with kidnap victims, we see the terrorists carrying out this horrendous act, and it does leave a disturbing image in your head. Fear of probably one of the nastiest ways to die.
Maybe it's nothing, i just wondered if there was some kind of play on words and the publics minds to paint any muslim as a terrorist...which of course as we know is not the case.

I mean if this is true, then it's surely a bit silly to ask why there are so many anti-Islamic threads.
Sure, all people have killers, but that method of beheading seems somehow cultural.
And all over the world stories of stonings, judicial rapes, incest, misogyny and intolerance are beginning to outweigh the evils of any other group. Is this just propaganda?
In any case, perhaps it's all just a hoax.

Perhaps because this is what the Western media choose to continuously show in order to push and to maintain the anti-Islam hate agenda. From a different perspective, if another country, or culture, showed the things that Americans constantly do, from mothers and fathers shooting and drowning their kids, to husbands and wives massacring their spouses while also going through divorce, to the other number of horrible things that we constantly see on the news, then they might have the same type of biased perspective of us as we create and maintain of them.
Propaganda? Yes, mostly, I think. It's meant to dehumanize the other culture(s), and justify our own actions via ignorance.edit on 17-2-2011 by Liquesence because: (no reason given)

I am just curious...why is it that whenever a "muslim" commits murder or has done some crime people tend to put it on news with the word "muslim" highlighted? But if the crime is committed by another man who is not a muslim they simply say, "a man commits a crime"? Why these hatred on Muslims? I am not a Muslim but I think these people who are being condemned just because their religion is Islam just doesnt make sense and justly unfair. What about the psycho killers, rapists and others who commit brutal crimes and who are not Muslims?
Have you ever seen a headline which says " LUTHERAN ED GEIN MURDERS TWO PEOPLE"? Or..."CHRISTIAN OJ SIMPSON KILLS FAMILY"? Or..."PROTESTANT U.S. BOMBS AFGHANISTANS AND KILLS HUNDREDS OF CIVILIANS"
C'mon guys...wake up! This isnt the Dark Ages anymore.....
