If you want to see the world through some disturbing and deeply tinted glasses, there’s always Jihad Unspun<\/A><\/EM>, a flashy site featuring columns by proudly pro-terrorist journalists, and others by Americans (like Steven Backus<\/A><\/STRONG>, professor of English at <\/FONT>a university in <\/FONT>Minnesota).<\/FONT><\/P>

Here’s an exceprt from an article explaining how recent beheadings of captives by terror groups in the middle east jibes with the dictates of the Koran.  There are some one-liners in here that would have seemed like hilarious MadLibs five years ago.<\/FONT><\/P>

Seymour Hersh<\/STRONG> revealed that young Iraqi boys<\/STRONG> were sodomized and shrieking while… being filmed as souvenirs for the friends and relatives back at home. When the Pentagon showed the pictures and videos, implicit references were made to executions and Necrophilia… If this were not an American phenomenon, why else did Arnold Schwarzenegger recently abolish Necrophilia<\/STRONG> in California?  <\/FONT>The abuse is not confined to Abu-Ghraib [1<\/A>]. <\/FONT><\/P>
\n

Beheading a handful of captives is far less painful than being tortured to death as acknowledged by Nick Berg’s father<\/STRONG>. Even… degrading sexual torture can be worse than beheading. However, that only applies to those who have some degree of self-respect and honor. Sexual abuse inflicted on Lyndie England is unlikely to constitute punishment but rather a kind of titillation<\/STRONG>… Islam is indeed very different from the secular fanaticism<\/STRONG> of ‘freedom’! <\/FONT><\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
