Quoted: Because it is intended to create terror in anyone who sees it. Doesn't create terror in me, just makes me want to kill them all* (*where all refers to all extremest muslims who behead people) |
|
is simple
its a proven terror tactic used throughout the ages by all sorts of folks and cultures. cutting someone's head off (and perhaps mounting it) gets folks attentions. everyone did it/does it (except us of course). heck, even the messikans have adopted it as proven taktik in the drug wars. has very little to do with islam specifically, its just become their trademark recently. |

I always thought it was because of a particularly strong emphasis to the head and mind in Islam- a dead body with no head is the ultimate insult to the person.
Probably wrong, but whatever- maybe it's just a "shock value" thing. |

This is true.. and I'm almost blown away, I have never had a conversation with a Christian who admits the bible has flaws, and contradicts it self, especially never had one admit it first.. Both sides do have there extremes, however you do not really see the violence you do with the Muslims with to many other religions, ( I'm sure there are exceptions and someone will be here shortly to correct me) |

Because its socially unacceptable to dismember...
The mexican hit squads and cartels are taking note. But the beheadings stopped having the desired effects.. so now they behead the bodies and then skin the heads. I guess that ups the ante.

Seems like there are a million examples of muslim radical beheading murder/execution vids out there. But they are always disgusting bloody affairs as they use some dull butter knife to hack off a guy's head. Wouldn't it be easier for them just to cap the guy? Seems like less mess and less work. So there must be some cultural thing going. what is it? It's a meme particular to that culture. It's like asking why a particular ethnic group wears their waist bands around their ankles, carries pink hello kitty purses, or wears cammo to 'the Walmarts'. People are imitative. |

It is ordered by the Koran.
Also, this goes back to ancient times. People have survived many seemingly mortal wounds or other injuries. A person might be hanged, but not die. A person might be stabbed with a knife or sword, but not die. A person could lose a limb or two, and not die. And that person could come back and kill you later, though you thought he was dead. But if you cut of his head, that is a mortal wound he is not going to recover from, and he is certainly dead. |

What else sends more of a message? It is brutal and visually spectacular. It instills terror and disgust just a it is intended to. It has been used for millenia as a form of execution for these reasons.
The advent of the internet allows for an even more spectacular display in that the terrorists can fully take advantage of the time they have to exploit the feeling of helplessness and horror that the viewer feels. They do this by staging the shot to instill a feeling of overwhelming inevitability, drawing out the sentencing, displaying overwhelming force against their one victim, and performing the beheading in a disgustingly slow fashion. They make sure that the auditory sense of the viewer is stimulated by yelling things like 'Allah akhbar', cutting so that the victim can scream, getting the camera close so that the viewer hears the gurgling, etc. The internet viewer knows what will happen, can do absolutely nothing to stop it, and yet feels compelled to watch. Results of watching can range from disgust and anger to PTSD type shit. Overall it is a very effective tool in that it allows a few shitstains to kill one man and potentially impact millions of their enemies. |

I have seen little evidence to suggest anything other than this. And for the guy defending the Koran as "perfect", and that they mean atheists when they say non-believers, i have seen NO EVIDENCE that this is true in any way. |

Sira, p463-4: Then they {the tribe of Quraiza} surrendered, and the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of Bani al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and [Muhammad] struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. Among them was the enemy of Allah Huyayy bin Akhtab and Kab bin Asad their chief. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. As they were being taken out in batches to the Apostle they asked Kab what he thought would be done with them. He replied, "Will you never understand? Don't you see that the summoner never stops and those who are taken away do not return? By Allah it is death!" This went on until the Apostle made an end of them. We can clearly see muslims follow the example of Muhammad, al-insan al-kamil (the "ideal man"). He is the par excellence of what a muslim should be according to Islamic texts and teachings. |

They are just a little ahead for our times! I can't think of a better way to get across your "message". These people have persuaded many to "see it their way". I have often wondered what would happen if the politicians in our country experienced something of the ilk. Would it change minds? persuade our enemies? "UNTHINKABLE" for our culture I know. Do you all remember Vladamier (Sp) ahhhh....Romanian Dude....VLAD THE IMPALER ! Very impressive!
