Because he lopped off her head. The prophet Muhammad lopped off quite a few heads.
How many heads do Buddhists or Christians lop off? How many heads did Buddha or Jesus lop off?
P.S. and by the way asking a question like how many Heads have Christians lopped off? wow! do you have a calculator? heres a little reminder
Christians don't lop off heads. They put bullets in them.
Well i wont generalise but France which i think counts as a "christian" country did indeed stop cutting peoples heads off in 1981.
The issue here is did this guy cut off his wifes head because he was a muslim? whats the evidence for that ------he is a muslim.
not good enough for me.
That was a remarkably stupid (and clarifying) response. You might consider some casual reading ... perhaps something like this. :yes:Because he lopped off her head. The prophet Muhammad lopped off quite a few heads.

Saudi Arabia uses public beheading as the punishment for murder, rape, drug trafficking, sodomy and armed robbery, apostasy and certain other offences such as homosexuality illicit love affairs of Saudi girls (one Saudi princess was beheaded for illicit love). 45 men and 2 women were beheaded in 2002 and a further 52 men and 1 woman in 2003. The condemned of both sexes are given tranquillisers and then taken by police van to a public square or a car park after midday Friday prayers. Their eyes are covered and they are blindfolded. The police clear the square of traffic and a sheet of blue plastic sheet about 16 feet square is laid out on the ground. Dressed in their own clothes, barefoot, with shackled feet and hands cuffed behind their back, the prisoner is led by a police officer to the centre of the sheet where they are made to kneel facing Mecca. An Interior Ministry official reads out the prisoner's name and crime to the crowd of witnesses. Saudi Arabia also cut (Chopping) hands and feet of the thieves. And Saudi does this as per Islamic code and tradition. http://www.faithfreedom.org/oped/SKM40715.htm
A Canadian has been found guilty of murder in Saudi Arabia and sentenced to beheading, the Canadian government confirmed on Monday. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/03/03/saudi-canadian.html

Therefore? Again: How does this transparent effort at insinuation serve anything of value?
But you are not proffering an opinion but, rather, promoting an insinuation.
Argument by innuendo is disingenuous and gutless on the face of it.
It is also pathetically fallacious to suggest that Islam (or Judaism, or atheism, or ...) can or should be stigmatized by the actions of some self-proclaimed adherent. Do you disagree?
In the most Islamic country in the world beheadings seem to be fairly popular.
There's nothing in Islam that says you should torture and behead your wife.
Eh, I don't know if this is true or not, SStone, but I do know that Islam devalues female life, and states that most women go to hell.
Classic! Honestly, it is extremely difficult to explain such a transparently stupid statement without positing a source befogged and befuddled by bigotry.Well the majority of america is christian and they don't behead their people but other countries do. Beheading people does not seem to be a christian practice atleast not in america. So fallicious?
Yeah in some circumstances. What are the circumstances that led you to say "it's a local cultural thing"?!There are men who kill their wives in my culture and my society. Many more than there should be, Not4Me. So far as I know, it is not often considered something honorable here, regardless of the circumstances. But from what I hear, killing your wife is -- in some circumstances -- considered the honorable thing to do in Pakistan, which is where the man was from.
