DVD of American's beheading is hot item in Gaza

[drdon326]

Video shops in Gaza are selling a new DVD featuring the recent beheading of an American in Iraq. The gruesome video, priced at NIS 15, is apparently selling like hotcakes.

"When I saw the DVD I started to worry about our future," said Muhammad, a young Gazan father of three who works for the Palestinian Authority. It was so cruel. I couldn't watch. I only looked at the still shots."

Muhammad bought the DVD "out of curiosity," he said. "Of course I did not bring it home to my children. I watched it in my office."

The clip starts with masked men reading the charges and justifying their actions based on Islam. They accuse the American civilian of assisting the "allied occupation forces," place the knife at his head, and start to cut. When done, they hold up the severed head.

7. "Insensitive" most likely.

A matter of opinion, of course, but I don't want to
be a mod, so it's unseemly to whine.

5. can you say massive generalisation

the sales of execution vid's in US what does that say about the entire society? the people who viewed this (and Nick Berg's) death on the net - are they all monsters?

did any of these people mentioned it excited them? seems like they did it for the same reason millions of people in the west did - curiosity, not for prurient reasons, I can fully understand that if they were getting enjoyment of excitement out of it that would be really revolting. I've heard some people do which is pretty off don't you think don?
