This mostly seems like a streach, buz
i agree with other people, that beheading isn't a new form of execution, and certainly not new in the middle east, nor is it a new execution style of anywhere else
i think some people go over board, which isn't good, but objectivly looking at a muslim based goverment, i could see them looking badly on christianity trying to infiltrate thier way of life (hey i don't agree with them but logically they might see it this way)
i really doubt beheading will become popular again, most people who are willing to accept people being executed, would want more humane killing (not sure about texas,sorry jar)
Islam, being the fastest growing religion of all world wide appears to be the prominent emerging authority in the decades ahead
i thought athieism was? or is this the new boogy-man of the year?
most of this seems like fearmongering to me

Re: General Reply
Yes, there's been beheadings all along. The significance of the times we are in is that prior to our time, beheadings were so unusual that few notations of them were in the national media. Nearly a hundred million citizens were killed by their own Communist governments last century, but beheadings were few. Now the news is full of events relative to nations who practice this significantly, nations which are becoming the focus on the world scene and which appear to become more significant in the future.
I think you might be right on one thing and wrong on another, i don't think there are more beheadings anymore than 20 years ago or 50 years ago. there is a lot more coverage of things of this nature than 20 years ago, as we become more of a globel society we will get more media looking into things that in the earlier years people didn't know a thing about.
you do know that that thier was a lot of beheadings in france right?, thats why the gilatine (sp) was invented.

Re: The Greatest threat facing the world today
Just another of Jar's groundless and undocumented pot shots at Biblical Christianity, contributing nothing to the thread topic.
So Paul didn't think jesus would return in his lifetime or within the desciples life times?
what about the fact that people have been saying the end was near since paul?

Re: General Reply
I think you are trying to play up the threat of islam way too much, and need to relax a bit, but thats just me i guess
You're missing my point that with the emergence of Islam as a threat to world peace, you will likely see more beheadings. Time will tell. I'm contending that they are beginning to emerge in the news whereas, hardly anything significant about them has been aired for a long time. I'm more or less making a pediction based on the Bible. It's too early to know how that will turn out. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but doubt that that hope will be realized.
maybe the fundis are a threat but fundis are a threat no matter what religion they are, come now buz you are making it out to be exstremists = islam, when you know thats wrong.
the bible doesn't say anything about islam, you are putting your own spin on it, to make it look like islam is the boogyman. revelations is so vague theres no way to tell what the author was talking about or what century even, it could be now, 100 years from now or a thousand
theres a lot of people that claim the catholic church is the whore of babylon, but they have no basis eather, why would this be true?
