Christians have weeded out much of it's insanity.....too bad you and others live in the world of blaming Christians for world problems.

Did you notice the Christians in the ME have very little, are a very small group. What's happening to them?

When is the last time Christians in groups behead and forced conversion?

Any child is capable of holding a severed head.

We don't know what the child did, or witnessed.

And since the child is from AUSTRALIA, are you arguing that we should destroy the AUSTRALIAN way of life? If not, then please recognize that the child is AUSTRALIAN, and AUSTRALIANS don't destroy children. The boy is being subjected to terrible things, and he's being subjected to these things because his father is mentally ill. People who are mentally ill are infamous for making bad choices, for believing in falsehoods, and for doing terrible things to their children and families. We cannot DESTROY mental illness. We can only treat it.

I don't blame Christians for world problems. The fact that YOU read that into my post tells us about your mindset. Not mine.

I do blame irrational behavior for many of our problems, and many people who behave irrationally, like torturing and forcing people to convert to a different religion, they base their behavior on religious duties. They have a religious obligation to convert people, and they will fulfill that obligation at swordpoint if necessary. That was the reasoning behind the Conquistadors. That's the reasoning behind the Taliban's and ISIS's coerced conversions. It's irrational. You can't force someone to believe in something. You can't force people to believe in the Tooth Fairy. And you can't force someone to believe in God. You can compel them to pay lip-service to your faith. But what is the point of that? You're not saving their souls. And you're harming your own soul in the process.

The fact that Islamists are making the same mistakes that the Catholic Church once made is sad. I wish that they would realize what the Catholic Church came to realize. You can't convince someone by force.

So I think the Islamists are wrong, but I'm not going to convince them by bombing them, or by trying to destroy them, any more than they are going to convince people to follow their beliefs by threatening them. I can't convince them by arguing with them, because they are zealots, they don't listen to reason. By the same token, I think you are like them as well. You are a zealot, too. Arguing that these people need to be DESTROYED. That's the argument of a zealot. And zealots don't listen to reason.

Mostly children from gang members in Mexico, Central America and the ME who find this childs play.

This is quite obvious....

Only those who are willing to die by killing or force conversion for ALLAH......their way of thinking is not in line with traditional Islam??

This father caused his own mental illness......he had money to be a drug addict: He appeared before the courts on a number of minor charges between 1995 and 1998, when he was also regularly taking amphetamines, LSD and ecstasy. The drugs were likely to have been a "significant factor" in the emergence of schizophrenia, the documents said. Less than five years after his release from prison, it's clear that Sharrouf has not abandoned the ideology that saw him jailed.
Nettleton said he became estranged from his daughter nine years ago after she converted to Islam and married her teenage sweetheart, an Australian born to Lebanese immigrants.
'Radicalized' father of Australian boy holding severed head has mental illness - ABC15 Arizona


Hard to feel sorry for someone who has lived a life of drugs and crime. AUSTRALIA has labeled the father as an Islamic Terrorist, not a mental case.

How does a doctor treat "Ideology?"

The Bible claims children will pay for the sins of THEIR father, this child is no different than any other child, correct?

Sure it does......it means to submit or surrender themselves to God. The extremist just happen to be playing God. Nothing to do with God and everything to do with their own look upon the world. I do have a hard time with Saudi Arabia acting like they are a country of peaceful religious people. While we pay them major $$$$$ to survive and stone women in the streets.

Just wonder why we never hear from the "officials" calling for this all to end. If it were a religion of peace we would hear more from the Kings involved.

what a cluster! I keep waiting for someone to invent synthetic gasoline or crude oil so we can tell Saudi Arabia and their pals, Iran, Qatar, etc to go scratch.
