Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Andrew Anthony: Can Bigley’s death help rescue Islam from violence?

After all, anyone who cuts off the head of a living, talking man must surely be lacking, at the very least, the vital mental facility of empathy. But whether intended or not, the consequences of Bigley’s videoed beheading, and the other similar killings that preceded it, are many and far-reaching.”
