Good to see old British traditions carrying on, I do hope they put the head on a spike above the gates too, no point it letting it go to waste...

Not to worry Oberon, there are plenty of lowlife scumbags from the US fighting with ISIS too! In fact, OZ has warrants out on 2 scumbags from down under who were seen in photo's beheading Syrian soldiers! Plenty of riff raff from all over, sadly.

Skybird: 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.

Tarjak: We westerners would NEVER use terror would we? /sarcasm

And payback was hell BBY":In the aftermath of the Fall of Acre, during the Third Crusade, Richard the Lionheart attempted to negotiate terms of surrender with the Saracens. Richard wanted to exchange over 3,000 captured prisoners for the True Cross, as well as a hefty ransom and imprisoned Christians. The True Cross was believed to be the actual physical cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified.
After much delay by Saladin and the Muslims, Richard, frustrated and angered, personally marched his prisoners to a hill called Ayyadieh. There, in full view of the nearby Muslim army encampment, Richard ordered the slaughter of the over 3,000 prisoners, women and children included. They were all mercilessly beaten to death, axed and cut down by swords and lances. A Muslim force, so enraged by this act, attempted to charge the crusader lines but was repeatedly beaten back, allowing Richard and his army to retire in good order. Thus concluded one of the most unusually ruthless battles/massacres, even by Crusades’ standards." -10 little massacres of history

I hope the Saudi's are enjoying what is going on north of their border! And what is slowly coming their way! The Royal Family has to be crapping all over themselves right about now.

I doubt they are worried. After all, the oil companies aren't about to let any thing happen to the teat they suck on; besides, the Saudi's have they're paid for defense force: the US military...
