And I suspect that most people of the fathers religion would denounce his actions. If he's Jewish I certainly denounce it. There's nothing in the Torah that supports that type of action. Not a single line, not a single word. > Then you have not been paying attention. There has been numerous fatwas > issued by American and European mullahs and imams. Really? When I look up fatwas against beheading I don't see any saying that it should not be done, only fatwas for. We're talking about the religious based abuse and killing of spouses, siblings, and children (or other relatives) here. Honor killings are treated almost as misdemeanor in some 'modern' Arab countries - like Pakistan or Jordan. >OK, bottom line.

The others are condemnation on the event of 9/11 (though not all against terrorism and a lot are 404). We're not talking terrorism here.
