#1 Can someone please tell me which is more merciful: frying someone in an electric chair (Texas style) or Beheading with a sword (Saudi Style)? If there is anybody who went through this experience, please share your knowledge with us.

#2 Texas puts murderers down like dogs, if I recall correctly. It's more humane than the electric chair.

#3 Why is "frying" someone considered "Texas style"? The electric chair was neither invented in Texas by Texans, nor was Texas last to use the electric chair as a form of execution.

In fact, the last time the electric chair was used in Texas was 1964. Forty years ago. Grow up. Learn to google.

#4 The interesting things here are:
1. that Muslims pretend that beheading isn't in the Quran or isn't an Islamic tradition
2. that the Jihadis behead people who came to Iraq to help Iraqis (as opposed to in Texas where people convicted of murder 1 are executed).
3. that all through the Islamic world there are groups who celebrate beheadings with joy

#5 I forgot to mention that the Quranic verses specifically mentioning beheading are 8:12 and 47:4

#6 Dogs deserve better. All dogs on the death list should be allowed a week of hospice with a trained family.

Jesus.... I'm half serious.

#8 How about just a shot behind the ear. Quick and fatal.

This is just more proof that islam is a satanic death cult that practices torture and murder as a "sacred" rite.

The sites that show this are complicit in murder. I say we wack the little peckerwoods who run, host and maintain them.

#9 Hello A6584 at RB we honor all those who serve, and all those civilians overseas working to make Iraq a better place. We are horrified at the actions of the despicable Zarqawi and I took offense at that comment as well.

#10 'Beheading' doesn't fully describe what happened. (Sorry to be blunt, but let's not let this argument get too muddled here.) Jihadis beheading westerners is more like "sawing people's heads off" (indicating a razoring action, extreme pain, and slow death).

God provide comfort to good people taken from us by subhumans.
