What's with this beheading stuff, shooting not good enough for anyone anymore?

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

It's an Islamic terrorist tactic. Started again recently with the murder of journalist Daniel Pearle. It is not really beheading in the "normal" sense of the term. It is a slow decapitation. They start with the throat and cut towards the spine with a knife, as opposed to a single stroke with an ax or large sword from the spine to the throat. Just a horrific way they like to kill people, because they like to kill people. They feel it has more shock and horror value. They do not realize it pisses off the rest of the world, and deepens the resolve to wipe them off the face of the earth.

South Koreans have gotten soft in the last 40 years.  But I do hope they send troops (special forces) to hunt down the guys holding this hostage.

the ROK has had troops in Iraq for at least a year

I wonder if Korea will pull a "Spain Special"....

Its kinda sensation for US's media and their costumers as you can see. It makes them very excited somehow.


Most interesting will be comment of ROK goverment about it.

It would be intersting if they decided to increase the troop level based on this threat.

Terrorists playing up th get more media attention.

This is front page stuff here, folks.

I wonder what would happen if they committed another atrocity and the media simply refused to report the gory details.

I wonder what would happen if an errant cruise missle knocked out Al-Jihaada.

Not sure on the accuracy of this report but it sounds like the right course of action.

HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS......  it worked once in our History...

Once in U.S.  history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly stopped.  It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen.  John J. Pershing was in command of the garrison.  There had been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the perps and teach them a lesson.

Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all tied to posts, execution style.  The U.S.  soldiers then brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing their bullets in the blood and fat.  Thus, the terrorists were terrorized; they saw that they would be contaminated with hogs' blood.  This would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even if they died as terrorist martyrs.

All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog guts dumped atop the bodies.  The lone survivor was allowed to escape back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the others.  This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years.

Pointing a gun into the face of Islamic terrorists won't make them flinch.

They welcome the chance to die for Allah.  Like Gen.  Pershing, we must show them that they won't get to Muslim heaven (which they believe has an endless supply of virgins) but instead will die with the hated pigs of the devil.

the SK is toast - once you make the video, you're done

but the beheadings will work against the terrorists as anyone with half a brain who they claim to represent, realizes they do not want their religion or themselves represented by such animals and their barbaric acts..

One thing is refuse to report it and second thing is to put it on front page.

RE: Pershing and the Pigs Blood

In one sense, messages such as the ones quoted above could be considered as silly as Muslims' proclaiming that a good way to throw the USA into disarray would be to "bomb" America with juicy steaks on Fridays, because "Americans are Christians," and "everyone knows Christians who eat meat on Fridays go to Hell."

We haven't eliminated ruling out the possibility that Pershing at some point chose to deal with a group of "Mohammedan fanatics" in a manner similar to the one described above, but so far all we've turned up are several different accounts and nothing that documents Pershing's involvement.
