I think all religions are absurd but I'd have to say that this guy's religion is the worst of the bunch by a wide margin. The Christian fundies whine and scream "persecution" and get on my nerves, but I've never felt remotely threatened by any of them, even in person. One of my best friends is a Southern Baptist, and he knows that I'm an atheist and has no problem with it. By contrast I'd be extremely scared around an Islamist fundy if they knew I was non-religious. Archelon is right: It’s both murder, and his religious beliefs.

The fact is Moe was hardly a practicing Muslim. I wouldn't be surprised to see the guy eat pork. And beheading is a cultural thing, not a religious thing. When you sneak attack somebody, stab them 8 times so hard that the weapon goes all the way through the body and does severe damage to the floor and then decapitate...all in front of a security camera...that's pure cold blooded murder. America, Canada and the media have to get this "honor killing" thing out of their heads. Even the defense attorney says that "honor killing"/religion/culture aren't playing any role in the case. Probably because Mo has been in this country most of his life. If any of you knew Mo personally (which I do) you would throw the whole culture/religion thing out the window.

I'm not saying that Islam condones that, but it's pretty obvious that he believed it does. That makes it his religious belief. That also happens to be an illegal homicide in the US, and therefore murder. The two are not mutually exclusive. It’s both religious belief AND murder.
