Misunderstanders of Islam admit to beheading Christian schoolgirl
May 11, 2006

These benighted misunderstanders of Islam were evidently foolish enough to think that when the Qur'an says to "strike the necks" of unbelievers (47:4; cf. also 8:12), that it actually means, "strike the necks" of the unbelievers. The fools! They've probably been listening to Islamophobic rhetoric, or watching "United 93"! Don't they realize that the Qur'an is a document of staggering complexity, and that it can only be properly understood by Saudi-funded American professors who spend years in concentrated study, enabling them to determine that "strike the necks" actually means "hug the necks"? You have to read it in the original Arabic, you see, and use your secret Qur'anic Arabic decoder ring, which likewise renders "beat her" (Qur'an 4:34) as "tell her how much you love her."
