Their up to it again, this time with Turks.

Saw this a bit ago as breaking news on Fox. IMO if these Turks are beheaded, things could get real ugly real fast (uglier perhaps is the right word).

If the Turks get pissed off, they can be a force ot be reckoned with. They were known for their ferocity in the Korean war.

Aren't certain populations of Turkey muslim?

Turkey is a Muslim country with a significant % of Christians and Jews.

That's what I thought. Interesting how this might play out if they go through with it.

Yes, very interesting. Seems to be two schools of thought with muslims. Not sure which one is the majority. (anectodal from various sites and blogger opinions)

One: It is against Allah to kill another muslim, period.

Two: It is ok, if they are working with/for/etc... non believers, ie anyone but them. (strange though, because Quran allows others who believe in Allah, christians, jews, to live in peace, ahh, that is another post though).

So, it will be very interesting. Especially their excuses, for instance, are any of these turks working for US/Infidels in a military capacity as they claim with Johnson and the korean.

Further, one muslim blogger site I have been on has not addressed AT ALL, the recent bombings that have killed close or more than a hundred fellow (depends if the insurgents were truly foreigners) Iraqis and most importantly, Muslims. Just shocking, american troops were not even around!

These jackases know how much this bothers normal people,but maybe soon they will realize that they will never get what they want beheading people. I think when they are caught,they should be tortured,and not with panties on their heads.
