A Canadian journalist who converted to Islam is facing beheading after being captured by Taliban. She runs this website.

Am I evil for finding it damned funny that this traitor is facing death at the hands of those to whom she betrayed Civilization?

Btw, why do they want to kill her in the first place? Is this the Muslim equivalent of the Western Communist leader being summoned home to Moscow to Stalin and winding up with a bullet in the back of his head in a Lubyanka basement?
