#1 I look forward to the British response. I hope it is more than a stern speech.

#3 The press tries to make a case for ISIS being so evil--much more than AQ. If one recalls, KSM (AQ) took credit for the beheading of Daniel Pearl. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (AQ in Iraq) also was into making snuff videos (beheadings) before he was killed in Iraq in an air strike. Jihad John (ISIS), the current macabre wanna-be bad guy is into beheading. He will get his too. The point is, that all of these groups are into beheading for shock value--these various groups are all evil and to discuss one group being more evil than the next in like counting angles (or devils as in this case) on the head of a pin. Distinctions without a difference. They are all head loppers. Even out so-called allies, SA uses this as a method of punishment when exercising Sharia Law. Beheading is antithetical to Western culture. There will be more beheadings. Islamics know this gets to us. I personally like the post yesterday for addressing this. General Mathis quote:

“I come in peace. I didn��™t bring artillery. But I��™m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I��™ll kill you all.”

#4 Ond telling feature about these beheadings is that all of those who were beheaded had their hands tied behind their backs. That would indicate the beheaders are basically cowards.

#7 Beheading is such a catchy image, but the victims are no deader afterwards than if they'd been hanged or shot or bombed. I must admit that a pyramid of severed heads rotting in a town square has a visceral power almost nothing else can match. Especially after a few days in the sun.
