I agree with Mohamed Hagmagid Ali. I think the shock value of this one is that he beheaded his wife. Men beat or kill their (usually) estranged wives every single day. But we equate beheading with terrorism and terrorism with Islamic Jihads. I've been studying many different religion in search of the right one for me. I'm not considering becoming a Muslim, although Buddhism has its appeal. But I've read about the Muslim faith, and I would say that a true Muslim would never be intentionally violent toward any other human being -- it would be contradictory to what he was taught to believe.
