To those who say this has "nothing to do with Islam", perhaps what they really mean to say is this has nothing to do with mainstream Islam or their own interpretation of Islam. We've seen the videos, read the eyewitness statements and there's no doubting that the perpetrators of this horrific act of violence were acting in the name of a religion, and that religion is Islam.
It doesn't mean we should "blame" Islam. But we should be placing this in the context of the threat of Islamic extremism that has grown to become one of the world's major challenges over the last 30 years. There is, at this point in history, a major problem with international terrorism and a significant part of it comes from the Muslim community. If we don't accept that, we may as well just give up on common sense altogether and the security services keeping you and everybody else on here safe would be better of focussing their efforts of detection and prevention on the Zoroastrian community and the blue rinse brigade.

A young man killed just because he is in the military !! In his own f*cking country by two Islamic people.

Don't make a quarrel out of everything man. I wasn't referring to the murder, I was referring to Benny's statement that he's "officially disgusted" with his country. I do nothing but condemn the murderer, and I'm not saying that he killed the boy for the right reasons (there is no such thing), but it's a fact that things like that happen in 3rd world countries on daily basis, and I just used the killers statement to tell Benny that he's overreacting.

Trust me my reactions quite calm compared to what a lot of people of doing.
I know exactly what happens in other countries because I have witnessed plenty of other incidents of extremist views where people have suffered and prob witnessed sights that you wouldn't want to see in your worst nightmare.

I think that you're overreacting to the overall situation in your country, not to the murder. As bad as the murder is, you can't be disgusted by your country because of a single incident.
