Because it was reminiscent of a completely different set of incidents? I'm confused here, Lammy. Nobody here HAD to suggest that, UPN felt it was enough of an issue to make a disclaimer which related this not to beheadings in Iraq, but the bombings in London.
Do you think there would have been four threads on this if the Bombing happened on Friday instead of Thursday? The reaction id deeply related to the bombings.

I don't have the faintest clue what your point is.
Of COURSE the reaction is related to the London bombing. Nobody ever suggested it wasn't. The point I was making in the post you quotemined was that the image of "Arab" terrorists garrotting a fan favorite is REALLY FUCKING UNHELPFUL on a day when anti-muslim feeling will probably be running high amongst some people anyway. The fact that this image was reminiscent of some of the beheading videos only strengthens the blind jingoism.
Excuse me for being disgusted by the promotion of hatred.
