Hizbollah Slams Beheading of American as Un-Islamic
Look whos calling the kettle blackBEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanonâs 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 Shiâite Muslim group said in a statement. Hizbollah said Bergâs killing had diverted the worldâs 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."
