I haven't read the thread, but I have a question, may be a dumb question.
Why beheading???
Pearl's throat was slit, if I remember right.
Berg was beheaded and now Johnson is beheaded.
Other than being just plain gruesome, is there an Islamic precedence for beheading???
surah 8:12 IIRC
Yes, it is a tradition in Islam. Russians in Chechnya have been beheaded, as have hostages in the Philippines. There's some religious reason for doing it, but I can't recall the specifics.
The learn very quickly. They understand the horror that we have for this sort of thing. The pig Stalinist media will, of course, comply.
Yes to your question. Muslims love beheadings--it's straight out of their 7th Century barbaric religion and culture.
How I despise these people. I'm not in a forgiving mood to these bloodthirsty, anti-semitic, anti-anyone-who-doesn't-kow-tow-to-their-moon-god savages and the people who support them...
>>Pearl's throat was slit, if I remember right.
Actually, Pearl was not only beheaded but dismembered into 10 pieces. The info was suppressed by our govt and the fearless intrepid media.
Sourece: Who killed Danny Pearl by Bernard Henri Levy
Pearle was also beheaded.
They think beheading has some religious significance--killing the infidel.
Surah/Chapter 47, verse 4 of the Koran says:
Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth them not their actions vain.
Daniel Pearl was beheaded.
I found this, but it would seem to apply to an authority of some sort, not terrorists:
"Holy law is not a variant of jurisprudence as it is known in the U.S. and Western democracies. Shari‘a bears no resemblance to American law based on the Roman and British constitutions, a tradition that stretches from the second century B.C.E. and Magna Carta to the Bill of Rights and Fourteenth Amendment.
It is not a legal system as Americans understand it. It is instead an accreted medley of precepts, proscriptions, and religious devotions tied to the Qur'an, interpreted as dicta by an authoritarian, priestly caste. Shari‘a can be a system of religion-based behavioral control in which certain crimes are punishable by stoning, flogging, amputation, and beheading, punishments intended to inspire subjection and fear.
IIRC, beheading is reserved for 'crimes against Allah'.
What crime had this Paul Johnson commited? None. However, these vermin consider being an American is such a crime.
There is only one answer.
Raise the red flag. No quarter shall be given, nor any asked.
No they beheaded Pearl as well I saw the video.
Yes, Islam historically does a lot of beheading.
Beheading is what they're supposed to do to infidels. Cut their heads and fingertips off.
And they LIKE doing it as well, so it's nice that they have the blessing of Mohammed to do so.
