We see some condemnation from the Arab world. Hizbollah says that the decapitation was "un-Islamic":

"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 Shi'ite Muslim group said in a statement.

Yes, you're not supposed to cut their heads off. You're supposed to blow yourself up next to them, propelling rat-poisoned-dunked metal fasteners though them, ensuring that if they live, it will be a lifetime of pain. Now that's Islam!

Here's the real reason they're upset. It's mostly the timing:

Hizbollah said Berg's killing had diverted the world's 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," it said.

It's a lament I'm sure they share with some people here. Couldn't they have waited until after the election?

On the positive side, some of these guys might think twice before doing this again - it may save lives, weird as it sounds. I just hope they don't realize that their really big mistake was putting it on video.
