Domestic violence is not confined to one culture, of course, but if your mission is to make people think that Muslim-majority nations are not dangerous places for women to be, then don't behead your wife when she tries to divorce you.

Thanks, and sorry - fixed!

Well really, doesn't her trying to divorce him pretty much mean she was asking for it? I mean COME ON!

a) what the hell?

b) "charged" ain't the same as "convicted"

And say what you will about Christians, they HAVE cut back on beheadings in the past couple of centuries.

b) If a guys walks into a police station and says "My wife is dead, here is where you can find her body." that distinction doesn't mean very much.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Agreed, but the headline alone gets CP status.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Just a phase...
