Even Hizbollah is condemning the beheading of Nick Berg in Iraq:

"Hizbollah condemns this horrible act that has done very great harm to Islam and Muslims by this group that claims affiliation to the religion of mercy, compassion and humane principles," the Shi'ite Muslim group said in a statement.

Pardon me if I think this is as sincere as Yassir Arafat's denunciations of suicide bombings. I think the following statement shows the real reason behind the qualms that Hizbollah has:

"The timing of this act that overshadowed the scandal over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in occupation forces prisons is suspect timing that aims to serve the American administration and occupation forces in Iraq and present excuses and pretexts for their inhumane practices against Iraqi detainees."
