I wish that stolries like this simply would not get reported in Wetsenr media. Doing it and expressing how shocked this or that brightbrained poltiicans is to learnt he news, just rewards the primtzives conducting the deed, this is the purpsoe of terror.

Islamic forces already used terror during the crusades (as a matter of fact even before that, already at Muhammad'S lifetime, to blackmail resisting factions in North Africa and convince them into surrender without needing to fight every one of them when Islam'S conquest moved westward), sometimes executing their prisoners after a battle, even those of noble families, instead of trading them for gold as was common habit in those days, and although they could afford to hold them prisoner until then, logistically. The idea was to send Europoe a message: "what,m thes epori8nces and noble knights are the best you can come up with! Look what we do with them...!" Chop, chop, chop, chop... Wetsern people and self-deceiving Muslims will deny it, but terror methods always have been part of the tool pool of Islamic conquest, and already have been ordered and demanded by Muhammad himself. It's even somewhere in the Quran, in two of the Suras originating from the Medina era (which overrule those of the Mekka era, sicne they are "newer": the socalled abbrogation principle on which all major Islamic mainstream schools of meaning and importance have reached consensus already many centuries ago: in case of contradicting verses and Suras, those who came later and thus are "newer/younger" by date, shall overrule the older ones). The suras in the Koran are NOT sorted by date, so just comparing the page numbers leads nowhere.
