I think ancient history and modern day events disprove this statement....in fact, fanatical religiosity is probably the biggest cause of death the world has ever known, other than disease and famine, etc. I understand your point that killers will kill no matter what, but institutionalized belief systems, be they religious or political, can be used to indoctrinate, brainwash, and turn otherwise peaceful people into butchers. There were warring states, and families, before organized religions existed. Not saying religions aren't used for violence, they can be, just that if you're talking about ancient history, states are far more ancient, and bloodthirsty, than organized religion. Yup, that's why I included political beliefs in there

I agree with the general sentiment, but usually people will want to glean some meaning from an atrocity like this. This wasn't a mugging gone bad, after all.

Astonishing pics of women talking to the killers....brave women, apparently comforted the victim as he was dying and as the killers were right there

It will be

People with smartphones and Twitter accounts were giving accounts well before any media turned up...no stopping the free flow of info now...until they lockdown the internet, which will eventually happen.

The term "baby bump" F*ck off

Any chance rioting could kick off tonight there?

It's on the front pages of most news websites here

It already is in Stockholm... An idiot? A liability.

But how would the killers know he was a soldier if he wasn't wearing fatigues or anything...

The guy in talking in the vid doesn't look East African...looks more West African/West Indian, and he has no African accent which I assume most Somalis in England have...

I didn't know butcher knife beheadings were an everyday occurrence in Jamaica...

Grats to Stan, fantastic news!

"You people will never be safe"

EDL is gonna have a field day with this

Are the killers dead?

Global behemoth and all, but the Coca-Cola font is nice

Her music gets more and more interesting...and she gets hotter and hotter...

It'll be fun to have him back, and with Di Canio at Sunderland, and Moyes trying to fill gigantic shoes at Old Trafford...good soap opera stuff ahead I think

Yet another reason to hate the Yankees

You could probably tomatoes indoors

Grats to the winner. I finished 46th, and if you saw where I was in January, you'd be impressed. I did a Villa.
