| Hizbollah Slams Beheading of American as Un-Islamic |
| 2004-05-12 |
| Look whos calling the kettle black BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon’s Hizbollah guerrilla group condemned Wednesday the beheading of an American hostage by Iraqi militants as an ugly crime that flouted the tenets of Islam."Hizbollah condemns this horrible act that has done very great harm to Islam and Muslims by this group that claims affiliation to the religion of mercy, compassion and humane principles," the Shi’ite Muslim group said in a statement. Hizbollah said Berg’s killing had diverted the world’s gaze from an escalating furor over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by occupation soldiers."The timing of this act that overshadowed the scandal over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in occupation forces prisons is suspect timing that aims to serve the American administration and occupation forces in Iraq and present excuses and pretexts for their inhumane practices against Iraqi detainees." |

| #7 DDB, you're so right! They're pissed off b/c they have never thought to FILM their murders. BTW, no one has commented on Hizbollah's comment of "...horrible act that has done very great harm to Islam and Muslims by this group that claims affiliation to the religion of mercy, compassion and humane principles." In other words, if it hadn't done great harm to the "religion of mercy", then go forth and slash more throats! |

| #6 Like I care what Hezbollah says about this. I think they're miffed because they didn't come up with the idea first. |

| #3 They got that line from DU. Apparently the DUMBasses are saying the CIA killed Berg. |

| #2 Yeah CrazyFool, and next they'll be saying it wasn't Islamic people at all who did it. It was Bush people dressed up as Iraqi terrorists. And the pathetic things will believe it, too. OOOOPS!!! After a rereading of the above, we see that Hizbollah said the killing of Berg "evidences" "suspect timing that aims to serve the American administration and occupation forces in Iraq and present excuses and pretexts for their inhumane practices against Iraqi detainees" Told ya. And according to Hizbollah, Islam is: "the religion of mercy, compassion and humane principles," so of course no Muslim could've EVER done such a thing. How convenient. |

| #1 In other words the murder itself is ok. Its the timing of the murder which they condemn. After all their U.S. 5th column friends (media, Kennedy, Kerry, etc.... ) haven't finished hyping the treatment by a few idiots into a major war crime by Bush and company yet..... |
