The process is chillingly simple: Descending on a fallen foeâ living or deadâthe victor hops on his or her back, places one or both knees between the victimâs shoulders, wraps the hair around one hand and traces a circle or semicircle around the crown of the skull with his knifepoint. Using his knees for leverage, he wrenches the hair âskin and allâfrom the skull, often to the accompaniment of a distinct popping sound. When carried out by an experienced person, the actual deed is accomplished in a matter of seconds.

Things are still tough today. The Muslims cut your head off.
