NYU Prof: Myles Standish beheaded too; we’re all as savage as the Islamic State

Is there anything nearly as ignorant as an NYU 'Professor'?

Standish died on October 3, 1656, of "strangullion" or strangury, a condition often associated with kidney stones or bladder cancer.[13] He was buried in Duxbury's Old Burying Ground, now known as the Myles Standish Cemetery.[68] [69]

"In 1623, just two years after Native Americans and Pilgrims dined together at the first Thanksgiving, Pilgrim commander Myles Standish decapitated an enemy Indian chieftain and impaled his head on a pike outside of the Plymouth fort."

Fuzzy headline. Standish did the beheading.
