I honestly don’t think Islam or ME culture had anything to do with this, judging by the other people’s reactions. This guy was just plain psycho.

This article piqued my interest, so I've been doing some digging around. It looks like Saudi Arabia is experiencing a pretty large social breakdown. http://www.yahind.com/news/directory.php?id=1052

I guess you forgot about al qaeda cooking and serving a six year old boy to his family?

Islam does play a part in this horrific incident. The extent to which Islam, via the quran, condones and even encourages violence, and the indoctrination process that each child undergoes as part of the schooling, rationalize this type of behavior. And, the high level of violence in the ME, over the past 30-40 years has desensitized the populace.
The fact that this nutcase acted out in this manner may be an aberration to some. But, to many of us, it’s an expected ramification of the society, on the main.

Islam is a cancer on humanity.

The "culture" in the ME has everything to do with this.

Cutting off the heads of people is a cultural "norm" as punishment. The guy was exacting punishment against his family for whatever reason set him off.

Only in Islamic countries is the concept of revenge killing seen as righteous

judging by the other people’s reactions.

Even the most barbaric people see a baby decapitated as something gruesome, so it's no surprise they were shocked

This guy was just plain psycho.

psycho = Islam: Just depends on your definition
