Before you insult the source, know that there's a video of the cleric linked on the page.
Insult the source? World Net Daily? What could you possibly say to insult them?

I'm just amazed that Newsmax and Hannity and Limbaugh and Savage aren't trumpteting this from the rooftops.

There are radicals in both Islam and Christianity.

Pls list how many bombings/beheadings being done in the name of Christ.

Oh....and just for fun....keep it within the last 700 years.

It's painful to keep it in the present, no?

tolerance in the mideast means restraining yourself from beating your wife so often.
why are there missionaries trying to convert people over there anyway.

No it's not.

All the bombings and killings in Northern Ireland up until after 9/11 (when the reality of terrorism struck home to Irish-Americans and IRA fundraising in the US suddenly dried up).

Spanish Inquisition

Tons of wars between the Catholics and Protestants during the Reformation (take your pick of the war - all of them pretty brutal and bloody)

Plenty of choices.

The cleric in question here beheaded no one.

Holy wild tangent, Batman.

Some day, in my dreams, people will treat people as individuals, and hold them accountable as individuals. Yeah, am I crazy or what?
