Maybe if the American Muslim advocacy groups and their allies keep telling us this is against Islam long enough, it will drown out news like this. From Reuters, with thanks to Anthony:
MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - Gunmen attacked a car in the northern Iraq city of Mosul on Friday, killing three foreigners and their Iraqi driver before cutting off the head of one of the victims in a bloody daylight massacre....A photographer for Reuters saw four bodies lying on the street close to the Mosul blaze, three of them apparently foreigners.
Witnesses said one of the men appeared to be Turkish and two others looked European. One of them had been beheaded.
A fourth person, apparently an Arab, could be seen lying near the car, his body partly consumed by flames.
Witnesses said one of the foreign men, two of whom looked to be in their 20s and 30s and were dressed in jeans and windbreaker tops, was briefly taken hostage by the insurgents.
When he tried to flee they decapitated him, leaving the head lying in a pool of blood near his body on the street.
You know, it pains me that innocent people die every day beacause of Islamic beliefs, OK, fundamental, extremist Islamist beliefs, but why do innocent Arabs and Turks who are most likely just trying to help and improve their lot in life die in such a brutal way by their own co-religionists?
It should be clear that there is a Cancer in Islam and it is best defined as the slowly awaking mass of Muslims who are begining to see that they are the tools of an intolerant, totalitarian facism that would kill them as easily as swatting a fly if they dared embrace their humanity, which Islam in its current form denies them.
I hope that Islam can be wrested from these maniacs before the whole world entire is destroyed by them.
Andrew,
You ask why Muslims should kill their own co-religionists.
According to Islam peaceful Muslims and those who befriend Westerners are hypocrites and have abandoned Islam in their hearts, the proscribed punishment for apostacy being death.

You speak about Islam in its current form. This is not Islam in a current form, this is how it has always been since Mohammed, and can't be changed because he is believed to be the seal of prophets.
My prayers reach out to more fallen victims as my rage grows more intense.
The Code of the Geneva Convention is past due for reform. It is reserved for the gentlemens war not this intolerable suffrage.
The voice of the People is not being heard throughout the halls of congress and the senate,our pleas seem to be falling on deaf ears,our leaders cant get even past partisan politics to affirm a grip in world politics.
I say we call an allie,allie,in come free to all U.S. Citizens abroad and once they are all accounted for (+/- 10%) we say again "you are either with us or against us.
