Man, that's going to hurt his credibility. :shifty:

Well. This doesn't help at all. What the bugger was he thinking? And beheading her?

Jeez. She looked like a man. No wonder he did it. :o Morbid jokes aside this will just give more criticism to the Muslims.

OMG totallly looks like Micheal Jackson :oops:

...many would have considered this guy a "Mainstream Muslim"...

Food for thought.

Yeah, that can't be good for Islam's reputation. All it takes is an already-suspicious public and one crazy idiot for that religion's name to be blackened forever.

Well, look at it from the other side. Fred Phelps. That is all.

The difference is that Phelps isn't really considered "mainstream" or "moderate" in any way.

He's also a Democrat... :D

Seriously. Maybe it was Michael.

Its usually the so called moderate muslims that get in these news for "honor" killings.
Wifes or daughters divorcing, resisting forced marriages etc, there are disproportionate number of muslim women in battered womens shelters.

''He hoped the network would balance negative potrayals of Muslims''

Well, he shows a fine example then :nope:

Would this case get a publicity if he wasn't a Muslim?
If he had been truly assimilated into the society he would have just shot her.

Adulterous, homosexual, drug abusing, bigotted and muderous Christian TV envangalists, please form an orderly queue here.....

Any bets he is aquitted or given atleast a very lean sentence because it is permissable under shri'a law?

Europe maybe but not US, you still expect that the local laws and customs are respected.:shucks:
