your question comes with an obvious bias so i will treat it with the distain it deserves



with regard to the regional aspect, your examples of beheading and flogging, care to examine how jolly an electric chair is, or indeed what has been going on in american detention centres for the last few years?, invading countries, bombing civillians?, has that not been carried out by those diabolical christian folks? wait a minute, i'm christian!



just because some countries and individuals behave in a certain fashion (and yes corporal punishment and terrorist bombings are barbaric) you cannot label all who follow the religon as such, muslims in this country generally abide by the rules of this country and live in peace and do not support chopping peoples heads off. the irony of course is the average mail reader would bring back hanging in a heart beat, of course breaking a neck is far nicer than chopping it through, i mean your head doesn't roll around for start, when you're, ermmm dead :s



in the same way although i'm white and judged to be christian i hope i am not tarnished by association to biggoted hate filled ignorant people who post such nonsense as this thread...we live in hope
