Last week in London, two Muslim men shouting jihadâs ancient war-cry, âAllahu Akbarâ beheaded a British soldier with a cleaverâin a busy intersection and in broad daylight. They boasted in front of passersby and asked to be videotaped.
As surreal as this event may seem, Islamic beheadings are not uncommon in the West, including the U.S. In 2011, a Pakistani-American who helped develop âBridges TVââa station âdesigned to counter negative stereotypes of Muslimsââbeheaded his wife. In Germany in 2012, another Muslim man beheaded his wife in front of their six childrenâagain while hollering âAllahu Akbar.â
