Don’t Condemn the Berg beheading so fast says American Iman
EFL - there is a lot of the usual thumb sucking and tangential whining, etc. in this article but basically, the author, the VP of some Islamic Chaplain group is criticizing CAIR for CAIR’s anti-beheading pronouncement. The author feels CAIR is falling into a clever jew-infidel rhetorical trap.
This is an open response to the recent petition by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)... CAIR’s claims of prominence and representation of Muslims warrants a response ...

The petition appears to be a double-blinded message which, on the one hand, attempts to appease the non-Muslim movers and shakers in the US who constantly call for Muslims to apologize for acts committed against American people and interests, even before a proper investigation... On the other hand, it promotes a message of pacifism to Muslims in the US and around the world, disregarding Islam’s instructions to fight oppression and invasion and...
of course verses such as this, and there are many, can be and are used to justify mutilation of corpses, beheadings, lying, etc
This is suggested when the term reject violence is used.
