Islamic beheading: where is your humanity?

by - April 03, 2013


Like most days, I was on Facebook scanning my feed for *cough, cough* game posts. As you all must have figured out by now, I follow a page there named Faithless Daughter. One of the administrators there owns this photo, entitled "The koran between her legs." Anyway, on their page, they usually share Islam-related news and this video is an example. It had a short writeup, and for you to see the video, you have to have an account in the website.

WARNING:
The video contains disturbing images. Do not watch if you're under 18 years old, or if graphic images disturb you. Click here to watch.

Captions/subtitles are not available, but given that it is a command from the Qu'ran that apostates be killed, there seems to be a ritual involved in the deed. "Allahu Akbar" can be repeatedly heard during the beheading, and the only thing I can gather from it is that they are somewhat praying while killing the poor guy.


I personally do not subscribe to any religion, but it feels really bad that people make their written word as justification to the harm that they inflict to others. While it is a command that apostates be killed, I find it hard to comprehend how one's sanity and humanity cannot see the wrong in this kind of activity. I have no problems respecting other people's beliefs. There are just times that I can't help but wonder, are some people really just mental or plain heartless?
