Beheaded for Wearing “Western-Style Trousers”

Now here's a disproportionate response.

Three suspected al Qaeda militants, including two sisters, beheaded their uncle and his wife, forcing the couple’s children to watch, Iraqi police said on Friday.

The militants considered that school guard Youssef al-Hayali was an infidel because he did not pray and wore western-style trousers, they told police interrogators after being arrested in Diyala province northwest of Baghdad.

The three cousins executed Hayali and his wife Zeinab Kamel at the all-boys school in Jalawlah in Diyala province, village police chief Captain Ahmed Khalifa said.

Add it to the List of things that offend Muslims, along with Barbers and eyebrow plucking. This has spawned two new categories, grooming and clothing.
