Oh. And the princess was shot. The dull blade was saved for the man on his kness and bowed over, back to the executioner. People were in a public place, oh, some feet away, in a circle, around the guy being executed.
Once I had the courage to see just what an Islamic be-heading was I was not prepared for the scenes I saw. I had an image of a huge sword and with one quick swipe it would be a done deal. Not so, they use a comman knife and basically saw back and forth thru the neck area, often times while the executionere shifts his footing to get a bettter hold...so it can be long and drawn out. The victims appear to be aware what is happening for a time. So these be-headings are not in the least bit swift and clean...
I’ll also add the people veiwing are generally celebrating this...and often will step forward to assist. They’re emotions and reactions are void and empty at best...
