Two imams who had preached against terrorism are slaughtered by al Qaeda. One was beheaded and had his head planted on a power pole. All in the name of Allah:

The slayings in the province of Diyala, northeast of Baghdad, were against anti-Qaeda preachers who regularly railed against the terror network during Friday sermons.

“At around 2:00 pm (1100 GMT), armed Al-Qaeda members captured Sheikh Abdullah Shakur while he was in Saadiyah market,” said a Diyala military command officer who declined to be identified, referring to the central town.

“They returned an hour later with his head and attached it to an electricity post.”

I guess they should have tried to reason with them.
