The
terrorist group
Hezbollah
condemns the recent beheading of an American, not because of its barbarous
nature but because it drives the news of prisoner abuse by Americans off the
front pages. Though they say the act is un-Islamic to get the good headline on
the article, reading further they reveal their real problem with the act: "The
timing of this act that overshadowed the scandal over the abuse of Iraqi
prisoners..." If Hizbollah really throught that this behavior didn't fit with
Islam as a religion of "mercy, compassion and humane principles," they would
stop supporting the bombing and gun attacks on innocent civilian
targets, which is every bit as barbaric. At least the Islamic beheaders
attacked an adult male and not pregnant women and little children like the
recent murders praised by Islamic militants. This further demonstrates how
well the terrorists understand that the real battleground in this war is the
media. They need not be consistent. All they have to do is work on getting the
most publicity for their cause possible. This is something that our government
seems yet to understand.
