(U.S. News) Mortimer B. Zuckerman - News of horrific abductions and beheadings by radical Islamists fly around the globe on the Internet and satellite TV, but the perpetrators are throwbacks to the Dark Ages.

In their war against the "infidels," the terrorists kill irrespective of nationality, race, religion, or politics: many victims are from countries that played no part in the invasion of Iraq.
