[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It means that they are following verses in the Qur'an  and Hadiths that talk about beheading.  Not sure why they don't bother to cut the fingers off also though.

for example:

8:12- “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite them above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.”

47:4- “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers, strike off their heads; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives”

When Muhammad conquered the Qurayza Jewish tribe, he had all the males, history books say somewhere between 600 and 800, beheaded and buried in trenches.  The women and children were taken as slaves.  He took Rayhana as his, but he released her from slavery and made her one of his wives.   [/quote]

PP here, I want to make note that I know the bible has insanely violent disgusting verses too, but it is a bit different because the bible is considered a compilation of writings by different people with some supposed "direct words of God", where the entire Qur'an is considered the exact word for word of God dictated directly to Muhammad, so it's not as easy for some really zealous believers to disregard certain violent verses as it is for Christians to disregard violent and disgusting verses contained in the Bible.

OP, if you want to understand more, I would suggest you read Umdat al Salik and the Sira of Muhammad. [/quote]
